What does it mean to sit at the east gate facing west? Do people keep the door indoors or outdoors?

Sitting east facing west means facing west with your back to the east! You stand at the door, with your back inward and your face outward.

No matter whether you look inside or outside, the orientation of the installed gate is fixed! If you reinstall the gate, you can still change the direction and deviate to the adjacent direction! For example, the direction of due south can be changed to the direction of east (southeast) or west (southwest)!

In the past, most of the doors were facing south (generally southeast or southwest, with fewer due south, as if due south), so be superstitious and pay attention! ), in rural areas, the gate does not face west, only cities can't pay attention to this direction!
