Is there anything particular about architecture?

In China, the natural geographical location belongs to the northern hemisphere, and the building faces southeast and does not exceed 20 degrees. This is to avoid too much sunlight and make people feel comfortable to live in. For example, it is not good to expose too many external walls in the west, which is also not conducive to building energy conservation; People have noticed this when buying new houses. Especially in the south of China, it is hot in summer, and the direction of summer monsoon should be considered as the main room. Complex explanation: in order to achieve the purpose of storing wind and gathering gas in mountains and rivers. Generally speaking, there are mountains or tall buildings on the back and left and right sides, and there are water or low buildings in front, which meets the requirements of feng shui layout. But strictly speaking, the house facing north and south conforms to this layout, because Qinglong is wood and belongs to the east; White tiger belongs to gold, in the west; Suzaku is a fire, in the south; Xuanwu belongs to water and belongs to the north. Feng Shui is actually a branch of architecture, and its important elements are orientation, wind direction and topography. In China, the natural geographical location belongs to the northern hemisphere, and the building faces southeast and does not exceed 20 degrees. This is to avoid too much sunlight and make people feel comfortable to live in. For example, it is not good to expose too many external walls in the west, which is also not conducive to building energy conservation; People have noticed this when buying new houses. Another aspect of architectural orientation is closely related to the main direction of seasonal wind. Especially in the south of China, it is hot in summer, and the direction of summer monsoon should be considered as the main living room. As for the topography of buildings (not limited to urban areas), China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources. According to my observation, the buildings in rural areas in the south and the north are different, which may be due to the influence of temperature, winter wind and humidity. Buildings in the south generally like flat land and gentle slopes, while rural buildings in the north generally like flat land and basins (cold wind is not easy to blow in winter). In addition, rivers, peaks, mountains, roads and so on have long been talked about. Rivers and roads can provide convenience for people's lives. When it comes to the influence of some people on people's lives and future generations by using the direction of rivers, roads, heights and even peaks and backs, it has risen to superstition. Don't point the door at the bathroom, because the water vapor after bathing and the ammonia gas in the bathroom can easily spread to the bedroom, and the bedroom is mostly made of absorbent cloth, which will make the environment more humid; The bedroom door should not be opposite to the door of the storage room, which often smells musty and is easy to hide evil people; Bedroom doors should not be opposite, which is called "the door knife is evil." Bed: The head of the bed does not face west. According to modern science, the earth rotates from east to west. If the head is facing west, the blood often goes straight to the top of the head, and the sleep is unstable; The bed can't be in front of the mirror. When people are half awake, it is easy to be frightened by the image in the mirror and get restless. The TV set should not be directly in front of the bed, but can be changed to a movable TV cabinet on the side or in the cabinet; Don't turn your back on the bed. People outside the door can see everything on the bed at a glance, without a sense of integrity, which also affects rest. Layout: the shape of the bedroom should not be long and narrow. If it is long and narrow, it is not suitable for ventilation, and it is easy to get wet indoors. The bed should not be facing the beam and column, "beam" is easy to make people feel oppressive and sleep is not easy to be stable; The bedside table should be round to avoid the corner of the cabinet hitting the head; The bed can't stick to the ground, otherwise it won't be ventilated, which will easily hide moisture and cause backache. Light: the bedroom light should not be too strong, and the bed should not be close to strong light. The bed is a place to rest, and strong light easily makes you uneasy. So don't put the bed under the window, or you can install curtains to reduce the light. Decoration: the bedroom "triangle" is decorated too much, which is ominous; Hanging books on the bedside, taking landscape flowers as the best, avoiding tigers, insects and beasts as the background; Avoid hanging orchids, ribbons and chandeliers on the bed, otherwise it will affect the health of the guests. Orientation is the earliest knowledge that human beings have. We should always distinguish it. It is very important to determine the orientation of the house. China, the capital, palace and government of past dynasties, is located in the middle and low latitudes of the northern hemisphere. Because of this natural geographical environment, houses facing south can be warm in winter and cool in summer, so houses in China are basically facing south. Moreover, China's political culture also has the characteristics of "south". The rule of emperors in past dynasties is called "southern rule", and the Book of Changes says: "Sages listen to the world from the south and from the Meiji world". The ancient emperors, governors, Qing Dafu and state officials all sat facing south, so all the capitals, palaces and county yamen in China were facing south. Folk houses rarely take the "four positive directions". In ancient dwellings, most of the houses go south or due south, but some people go in other directions. Because of the fear of "stifling", ancient dwellings rarely take the four positive directions of due south, due north, due east and due west, but take other directions other than the four positive directions as the orientation of the house. Kanyu pays great attention to the orientation of residence, and there are many discussions. The "Eight Houses School" in Kanyu Studies divides houses into "Dongsi Houses" and "Xisi Houses". "Dongsi House" refers to houses sitting in four directions: east facing west (Earthquake House), southeast facing west (Kunzhai House), north facing south (Kanzhai House) and south facing north (Leaving House). "West Four Houses" refers to houses with northwest facing southeast (dry house), southwest facing northeast (Kun House) and northeast facing southwest (Kun House). The choice of residential orientation should fully consider all kinds of situations, and the "Eight Houses School" believes that it should be decided by people's "divination". The so-called "life divination" is the divination calculated according to the year of birth. If the four hexagrams calculated are Kan, Li, Zhen and Xun, they are called "Dongsi Life"; if they are Gan, Kun, Gen and Right, they are called Xisi Life. The "Eight Houses School" believes that people who are divined as "Dongsi Life" should live in Dongsi Life and those who are divined as "Xisi Life" should live in Xisi Life. Because the theory of "Eight Houses School" had a great influence in ancient times, many people determined the residential orientation according to the theory of "Eight Houses School". This method of determining the orientation of houses by people's "divination" is difficult to explain scientifically, and we can't take it as the principle of choosing the orientation of houses. In fact, the choice of residential orientation involves local climatic conditions and geographical environment, which must be considered comprehensively.
