Which wall is the south wall?

The south wall refers to the shadow wall, which is an indispensable part of ancient architecture in China. It is mainly located in the door of the gate to separate the inside and outside of the house. Most of the ancient houses face south, and there is a wall in the entrance, called "zhaobi" or "yingbi", which is used to block the external view. Outsiders can't see the scene of the inner court, which is also said in Feng Shui to block Shaqi and increase wealth.

The significance of the south wall

South wall has many styles. Ancient people often used bricks, jade and wood as building materials for the south wall, and carved or painted exquisite patterns on the south wall, which not only brought psychological comfort to people, but also brought a lot of fun to life. Therefore, the south wall has high architectural value and aesthetic value.

The Forbidden City bears the brunt of the existing well-preserved architectural community. There are many houses with south walls in the Forbidden City, which are not only beautiful and practical, but also suitable for the study of Feng Shui. It is really the crystallization of wisdom left by the ancients. Now "hitting the south wall and not turning back" means that a person does not listen to advice, which is the same as "not dying until he reaches the Yellow River" and "going all the way to black".

Five thousand years of culture has left us too much spiritual wealth, and the proverbs we often use at ordinary times have condensed so much knowledge. In fact, with the development of the times, many proverbs have richer meanings. "Hit the south wall" doesn't mean that this road really won't work, but reminds us that in our work and life, we can only achieve our goals by using it flexibly.
