This proverb means that if you sleep with your head facing east, you are prone to illness and poverty; if you face west and south, you are rich; if you face north, you are prone to death. In fact, we all know that these words are deceptive, but people living in ancient times are superstitious, especially when building houses and decorating furniture, because they think these things will affect the fate of the whole family.
In fact, there are many proverbs in rural areas that are still circulating today, and most of them are the experience gained by people in their daily work, so some proverbs can still be used today. For example, if you build your own house in the countryside, you will usually ask Mr. Feng Shui to make a field trip to find out the most suitable location, so that your family's wealth will not be hindered.
In addition, rural people have to spend a lot of time on the placement of furniture, of which the position and orientation of the bed are the most important. For example, the meaning of the sentence "the east is poor and sick, the west is the richest, and the south is rich and the north dies first" is very clear. It says that the orientation of people's head will affect their fate when they sleep, so many rural people pay great attention to the placement of beds in order to avoid the bad influence of Feng Shui.
Of course, this proverb has no reliable scientific basis. After all, our fate is not determined by the so-called feng shui. In fact, the beds in the room are generally placed in the north-south direction, which is mainly related to the earth's magnetic field; Because if we sleep in the same direction as the earth's magnetic field, we can avoid too much magnetic field interference, so we can sleep more stably, so it has nothing to do with Feng Shui.
