Distinguishing between Yin and Yang of Landscape and North and South

The difference between Yin and Yang in landscape, Shan Zhinan, and Yang in the north of water; The north of the mountain and the south of the water are called Yin (Northern Hemisphere). The specific reason for its formation is that the mountain is a towering part of the ground, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which causes the sun's light to shine on the south of the mountain, but not on the north of the mountain, so the south of the mountain is sunny and the north of the mountain is cloudy.

Rivers are affected by Coriolis acceleration, and objects moving horizontally in the northern hemisphere will deflect to the right (caused by the earth moving from west to east). Rivers will shift to the right bank when flowing, but most rivers in China flow from west to east, so the south bank of rivers is vulnerable to the impact and erosion of river water, forming a situation of wet south and dry north, so the water in the north is sunny and the water in the south is cloudy.

The direction of ancient times and the relationship between superiors and subordinates;

1. In ancient times, the south was regarded as supreme, while the north symbolized failure and submission. When the emperor called it "Nanrong"; Defeat, surrender to others, "defeat" and "surrender to the north."

2. From the east to the west, the ancients also took the east as the head and the west as the second. The residence of the queen and concubines is divided into East Palace and West Palace, of which East Palace is the most important, followed by West Palace. Ancestral temples dedicated to ancestral tablets should be built on the east side of the palace.

3. There are also high and low points. The ancient emperor was supreme, sitting north facing south, with the East on his left. Therefore, while advocating the East, the "Left" has also become noble. Wu Dong occupied Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms period, also known as Jiangzuo. The etiquette system of Wen is right, the concept of male left and female right, etc. , is the embodiment of respect for the left.
