What do you mean, low in the east and high in the west, neither rich nor luxurious?

The east side of the house is lower than the west side, indicating that the family is either rich or expensive.

When building a house in the countryside, we don't pay much attention to the height of the house in the east, and we are afraid that the house in the west is high and the east is the head. If the house in the west is higher than that in the east, it is unlucky in geomantic omen, so when building a house in the countryside, it is best to build the house in the east, even if it is a brick high, it is considered as high in the east. Even if you build a building, try to give priority to the East Building.

The house is high in the west and low in the east.

The ancients said: "Where the land is high in the east and low in the west, it is healthy; Low in the east and high in the west, either rich or extravagant; If you are high and low, you will lose your portal. If you are high and low, you will live well. " If the homestead is high in the east and low in the west, the amount of daylight in the courtyard will be greatly reduced in the morning, while the amount of daylight in the afternoon will increase accordingly. This is naturally a poor choice under the socio-psychological stereotype that "sunset" is not as good as "sunrise".

In addition, the northwest wind often blows in winter in Chinese mainland. If the building foundation is high in the east and low in the west, and the east and west walls are symmetrical and equal in height, then the air intake of the courtyard will inevitably increase. Therefore, in the absence of a flat house foundation, it is better to be high in the east and low in the west than high in the east.
