Analysis:
This is a Feng Shui statement in the Chinese Book of Changes. Anyone who has been to China or has studied Chinese ancient buildings knows that most of China's ancient buildings
are facing south, that is, the main entrance is in the south. But not in the north, why?
Do houses facing north and south have particularly good Feng Shui style? Or a house with this orientation can make you prosperous.
In fact, both of the above statements are wrong. There are two main reasons why Chinese people like to live in houses facing north and south.
There are two reasons:
1. A house facing north and south was called the main house in the past. This is because this kind of house is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has sufficient light.
Even in winter, sunlight can still shine into the depths of the room. , giving people a bright and warm feeling. As soon as you enter
the house, you will feel very comfortable. Moreover, in this kind of sitting house, in summer, when the sun rises close to the sky above the head, the house will not be exposed to strong sunlight. In addition, the southeast wind can also blow into the house through windows and doors, making people feel cool and comfortable. Therefore, Chinese people are willing to live in the north house, which is a house facing south.
2. In the past, the main foreign aggression in China came from the north. Therefore, in the psychology of the Chinese people, there was always a mentality of being wary of the north. Therefore, this kind of The latent, subconscious psychological threat gradually creates a psychological burden on opening the door in the north. Therefore, there is a reason why Chinese people are unwilling to sit in a house facing south and north. And
Moreover, if you open the door in the "north", your front door will be attacked by the north wind in winter. Therefore,
do not open the "north" door. another factor.
Speaking of this, you may ask, do all sunny houses face south? The answer is: This is true for most parts of China
But from a global perspective, this statement is incorrect. Because for different regions,
the position of the sun in the sky is different. If we want to understand this problem, we must start with the revolution of the earth.
We all know that when the earth revolves around the sun, it moves sideways. Because of this,
so when you observe the sun from the earth, you You will find that the sun's position in the sky is constantly changing, but your
position has not changed. Therefore, from this, we can know that the intensity of sunlight
received by the sun is different in different areas, so not all houses facing south face the sun.
The direct point of the sun can only move back and forth near the equator, and the northernmost point can only reach 230 degrees 27 minutes north latitude, which is what we call "north latitude" regression line". Moving southward can only reach 23 degrees and 27 minutes south latitude, which is the so-called "Tropic of Capricorn".
Therefore, in areas north of the Tropic of Cancer, it is impossible for the sun to reach the top of the head. Therefore, the sun always
hangs in the southern sky. Most of China's territory is north of the Tropic of Cancer. Because of this, in China, it is correct for sunny houses to face south.
At the summer solstice every year, the sun shines directly on the "Tropic of Cancer". However, at the winter solstice, the sun reaches the "Tropic of Cancer" again.
Therefore, throughout the year, the direct point of the sun always moves between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer. In the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer, the sun passes overhead twice a year, and the sun is sometimes in the southern sky. After a while
it will run to the northern sky again.
? Not all houses facing the sun face south
In the south of China's Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Taiwan and other provinces and regions, it is south of the Tropic of Cancer.
Therefore, around the summer solstice, when the sun shines directly on the area near the Tropic of Cancer, the sun's light will shine down from the northern sky
. Therefore, the houses facing south in this area no longer face the sun, but the houses facing north face the sun. Therefore, from a
world perspective: "Houses facing the sun all face south." This sentence is wrong, and here’s why.
The reason why modern people prefer houses facing north and south actually comes from the above-mentioned traditional concepts. Therefore, a house facing north
south is not necessarily the best choice in terms of Feng Shui.
In fact, in addition to adapting to the weather and sunshine, the orientation of the house is also conducive to the overall planning of the village and town, and to identify the direction
There used to be a small village called "Ecstasy Village" 6 kilometers north of Yanggu County, Shandong Province. According to legend, this was during the Warring States Period.
During the Great War between Qi and Wei, Sun Bin, the military advisor of the Qi State, built the houses in this village very strangely in order to capture Wei General Pang.
For example: the streets are crooked, the alleys are confusing, there are no main streets, and there are no straight alleys to go down. The intersections of streets and alleys are mostly in the shape of a "T" shape, and parallel streets are in the shape of a "T". The tail is uneven and difficult to penetrate. The houses and courtyards have different orientations, with no fixed orientation and no pattern to be found. The roads outside the village are also in the shape of grinding teeth, not east and west, not south and north. They are scattered and difficult to identify.
Therefore, if you walk along the narrow streets, you always feel that the direction is changing at any time. It is difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south. It is difficult to find the target in the village. It is also difficult to get out of the village. There is a folk saying among the locals: Once you enter the ecstasy, it will be difficult to recognize the number one scholar. There are alleys everywhere in the east, west, north and south
. It's like grinding the mill and turning the old road into darkness. It is said that the layout of this village is based on the Bagua directions
