Ancient astronomy in China divided the stars in the sky into five houses: East, West, North and South. Looking up at the sky and looking down at the geography, the ancients consciously corresponded to the layout and distribution of home rooms. If the south is respected, the house where the elders live is the house in the north.
"The sun rises in the west and rises in the east." Because the east is sunny, big and expensive, and the house in the east belongs to children and grandchildren. For example, "East Palace" became synonymous with the prince, and "East Bed" became another name for the son-in-law. It's cloudy in the west, which is the second.
The land of ancient Shu is Zedi, that is, the land and sea mentioned in Huayang Guozhi. There was once a poetic name called "Guo Meng". "Enlightened Guo Qian" is to reorganize the land of Zeguo and become the most developed area of agricultural civilization. As far as Chengdu is concerned, the west of the city is Xi. "Zi Zhu" records: "Xi is a humble city."
Therefore, in ancient times, Pixian county was located in the lowlands, where there were many cattails. In addition, the main characters corresponding to the West Building are Wang Lang people, girls who are eager for love, sad handmaids and beautiful concubines who are sad for the loss of youth, so the West Building has become a woman's residence, with a clear gender orientation and implicit aesthetic temperament.

The word "West Building" first appeared in the poems of the Six Dynasties. As soon as the West Wing was erected, it was followed by a row of "West Wings", which were arranged in dense twists and turns in Song Ci.
Li Qingzhao's "A Cut of Plum" is even more famous, depicting such a scene: the full moon is not round, the geese have returned, people are not at home, and they are alone in the West Building.
Li Qingzhao's "Autumn Plum and Residual Jade" in Song Dynasty
Lotus root is fragrant, and jade is lingering in autumn. Gently untie Luo Shang and go to Lan alone. Who sent the brocade book, the word geese returned, and the moon was full of the West Building.
Flowers bloom and fall, and flowing water gurgles. One kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. There is no way to eliminate this situation, only frown and mind.
Explanation:
The pink lotus has withered, the fragrance has dispersed, and the smooth jade bamboo mat has the coolness of autumn. Untie the silk skirt, put on casual clothes and go aboard alone. Looking up at the distant sky, where white clouds are rolling, who will send the brocade book? By the time the geese flew back, the moonlight had spread all over the west building.
Falling flowers alone, flowing water alone. We all miss each other, but we can't talk to each other, so we have to be unhappy alone. This lovesick sorrow can't be sent away. It just disappeared from the wrinkled brow and was faintly entangled in my heart.
