Does residential feng shui face the gate or the balcony?

I have answered this controversial question countless times, and as a result, my friends will keep asking me this question, including many colleagues and professionals. Why does the iron definition of ancient sitting orientation become so controversial in modern times? In ancient times, there was only one sitting direction in a single-family house; Now there are many households in one ladder, and the sitting direction is worth considering. That's the problem. Some masters say it faces the gate, while others say it faces the balcony (the biggest lighting point). So who is right and who is wrong? All this makes many ordinary readers very confused. In fact, this view of taking the gate as the direction and the balcony as the direction is "both right and wrong". Why? In fact, what you take is based on certain conditions, not random. Single-family houses should face the gate, that is, independent houses or villas, especially ancient buildings, because their main lighting points and vents are in the same direction as the gate. The elevator or staircase room faces the balcony. Because today's metropolises are full of land, in order to make better use of space, the ventilation and lighting at the front of the home are essentially different from those in ancient houses. Therefore, the door of the elevator building can not meet the requirements of ventilation and lighting at all, and it is dark outside the door at ordinary times, which can not play the role of ventilation and lighting at all. Their main biggest lighting point and vent is the balcony where the living room goes out, while the windows of the master bedroom and the second bedroom are in the same direction, so in this case, the balcony is in this direction. But at present, some masters hold the view of taking the gate as the direction, because ancient Feng Shui books are written in this way, but they never thought that the present house is very different from the ancient house. The so-called "study hard, study hard and read all the books until you are old" are all these views and will not keep pace with the times. Others are sitting on the hill behind the house, facing the other direction. For example, some villas are built halfway up the mountain (especially in Hong Kong), and they are all built on the mountain (that is, stepped buildings). Although they are all independent villas, they can still get ventilation and lighting in the direction of the gate. However, because the gate is facing the mountain, the ventilation and lighting are still limited, far less than the ventilation and lighting in the opposite direction of the gate, so these people sit in the opposite direction. Generally speaking, the direction of sitting posture at home lies in concrete analysis, not rigid copying, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
