What's the point of building a house? Is the house feng shui related to people?

Building a house is very particular, for example, it is best for the house to face north, and it is best to start construction in spring when it starts. The geomantic omen of the house has a certain connection with the characters. For example, there is a house with a small river in front of it, and the water in the river stinks. Living here will definitely affect people's body and mind.
