What does it mean to sit south facing north in Feng Shui?

Sitting facing south means facing north and south. In ancient times, when the emperor was in the first dynasty, he had to oppose the palace officials in the world, that is to say, everyone in the world had to face him and worship him. Later, it was extended to "sitting south facing north", indicating noble status.

However, most houses in China face south for the following reasons:

China's house faces south and has good lighting.

China is located in the northern hemisphere of the earth, in the east of Eurasia, and most of its territory is located in the north of the Tropic of Cancer (23 degrees 26 minutes north latitude). The sunshine comes from the south all the year round. A house facing south is easy to get light.

Sunlight has many benefits for people: first, it can keep warm, and the temperature in the south house is higher than that in the north house in winter 1-2 degrees; The second is to participate in the synthesis of vitamin D in human body, and children often bask in the sun to prevent rickets; Third, ultraviolet rays in the sun have bactericidal effect; Fourth, it can enhance human immune function.

China's house faces south, which can avoid the north wind;

Sitting facing south is not only for lighting, but also to avoid the north wind. The topography of China determines that its climate is monsoon. There is a Siberian cold current in winter, a Pacific cool wind in summer, and the monsoon direction changes all year round. There are records of wind measurement in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. "Historical Records" says: "Evil winds live in the northwest, and October is also. According to the north, it is also 1 1 month. The wind lives in the northeast, and the first month is also. Fengzhu East is also in February. "

There is a difference between evil wind and yang wind. He Guangting said in Geological Correction in the late Qing Dynasty: "Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between Yin and Yang. The warm wind and warm wind received from the east to the south are called yang wind, which is just right. The cool wind and cold wind from west to north are called evil wind, so it is advisable to have a close case to stop it, otherwise the wind will blow the bones and the family will die. " This means avoiding the northwest wind.
