There is a saying in the countryside that "one house in the east and one house in the south are unfilial sons". What is the focus of housing for the elderly?
First, let's look at this proverb. When it is cold in winter in the north, the northeast wind often blows, while the house facing east faces the tuyere. People who live in the house will tremble when the cold wind whistling. If it is an old man, they can't stand it, because the old man is already very weak. If they are cold, they get sick easily. It is very hot in winter in the north, and the houses facing south are poorly ventilated. It's often sultry in the room, and it's easy to get heatstroke. Young people can't stand it, let alone old people.
Therefore, there has always been a saying that the elderly can't live in the east room and the south room, otherwise it is thoughtless and unfilial. When arranging housing for the elderly, we must face the sun, because the elderly have weak physical resistance and need to bask in the sun often to enhance their resistance. In addition, the old man's house must not be too far away from his family's room, so that once the old man feels uncomfortable and makes some noise, his family can hear him. The bed for the elderly should not be too soft, the room should be ventilated and dry, the decoration of the room should be warm and comfortable, and the room should not have French windows.
It is particularly important to note that the bed of the elderly can't face the door, which is also Feng Shui. The bed is facing the door, and the feng shui at the door will harm the health of the elderly, especially when people are sleeping, and the elderly are weak. Once they are hit by such a collision, their good luck will be washed away, and they will easily get sick. Serious diseases are likely to haunt them all the year round.
