What does the direction of a house in Feng Shui mean?

The orientation of the house in Feng Shui is the sitting direction of the house. The sitting direction of the house refers to the front and rear directions when people sit in the main hall. The back is for sitting and the face is for facing. Facing south means sitting north and facing south. In the old Shenzhen compound, there was a main gate, which was the main air outlet of the entire courtyard. There were also the main door of the unit, the unit door, and the balcony door; there were also the theories of the four evil positions and the four auspicious positions. A piece of information is provided as follows: The methods of expressing directions in Feng Shui are: First, the five elements of wood are east, fire is south, gold is west, water is north, and earth is middle. Secondly, Li is the south, Kan is the north, Zhen is the east, and Dui is the west in Bagua. Third, take the stems and branches A and B as the east, Bing and D as the south, Geng and Xin as the west, and Ren and Gui as the north. The child of the earthly branch is the north, and the noon is the south. Fourth, the east is the Canglong, the west is the White Tiger, the south is the Suzaku, and the north is the Xuanwu. Or it is called: "Green Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Suzaku in the front, Xuanwu in the back." "Wuxing Zhi. Talk" records the layout of the acupoint code named Xingjunzhi: the hall is in the middle, Qiaomen wings in front of it, "Bian Cang" supports it behind, "Qingfeng", "Huijing", "the sales office is winding on the left, with a green dragon elephant." The first floor of "Mingyue" stands alone in the southwest, in the shape of a tiger dwelling, which is consistent with the theory of Yin and Yang. In ancient times, the south was regarded as the supreme, while the north was symbolized as failure and surrender. Palaces and temples all faced due south, and the emperor's seat always faced south. When he became the emperor, he was said to be "honored by the south"; when he lost a battle or surrendered to others, he was "defeated" and "called his subject by the north." It is precisely because the direction of due south is so honored that in the past, when people built houses, no one dared to take the direction of due south of the meridian. They always moved east or west to avoid violating taboos and being punished.
