The customs and habits of all ethnic groups

Some taboos and etiquette contained in the cultural phenomenon of Hui folk houses reveal the inner details of the spiritual world of Hui people in Yunnan. In many Hui families, especially in the rooms where the elderly live, there are absolutely no pictures or sculptures of any people or animals. Hui people definitely don't look at Yin and Yang Feng Shui when building houses. At most, they can choose the orientation of the house: for example, they prefer to sit with the north facing south and the shade facing the sun, prefer flat, spacious and dry, and avoid low-lying and humid places that are easily washed away by mountain torrents. Generally speaking, it is forbidden to open the door to the west, but it is not absolute. In some cases (limited by terrain), it can be flexible. The distribution of the interior layout of Hui folk houses reflects the "west is expensive", the west room is usually occupied by the elderly, and the west wall is the place where the elderly face when they worship at home. Old people go to church. Don't let others pass in front of the old people who are praying.
