What is the explanation of sitting facing south in Feng Shui?

As early as the primitive society, our ancestors built village houses in the direction of sitting north facing south, and most of the houses discovered by archaeology faced south. The principle of facing south is to correctly understand natural phenomena, conform to heaven, gain the aura of mountains and rivers, accept the brilliance of the sun and the moon, care for the body, cultivate sentiment and achieve outstanding figures.

The principle of sitting north facing south in geomantic omen

There is a difference between evil wind and yang wind. At the end of Qing Dynasty, He Guangting said in "geoscience correction": "Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between Yin and Yang. The warm wind from east to south is called yang wind, so it is just right. The cool wind and cold wind from west to north, called evil wind, are stopped by recent examples, otherwise the wind will blow the bones and chill the family. " This is to avoid the northwest wind.

Sitting facing south is not only for lighting, but also for shelter from the wind. The topography of China determines that its climate is monsoon. There is a Siberian cold current in winter, a Pacific cool wind in summer, and the monsoon direction changes all year round. There are records of wind measurement in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. "Historical Records" says: "Evil winds live in the northwest, and October is also. It's also November when the vast desert winds live in the north. The wind lives in the northeast, and the first month is also. Fengzhu East is also in February. "

There are several ways to express the position in geomantic omen: First, take the five elements of wood as the east, fire as the south, gold as the west, water as the north and soil as the middle. Second, take gossip as the south, ridge as the north, earthquake as the east and exchange as the west. Third, take Tiangan Party A and Party B as the east, Ding Bing as the south, Geng Xin as the west and Gui Ren as the north. Take the son of the earthly branch as the north and the noon as the south. Fourth, the east is black dragon, the west is white tiger, the south is suzaku, and the north is Xuanwu. Or: "Left Qinglong, right White Tiger, Former Suzaku, Later Xuanwu." Wu Xingzhi's "Lights Up" records the layout of Xing Wu county governance in Song Dynasty: the hall is in the middle, the door is in front, the side warehouse is in the back, the breeze winds to the left, and there is a dragon elephant. The first floor of "Bright Moon" is independent southwest and tiger-shaped, according to Yin and Yang.
