Why is it best to sit in the direction of the house facing south?

Whether building a house or renting a house now, apart from other factors, the orientation of the house can be said to be the most important. But people don't say whether to sit facing south or west facing east, but whether to sit on the dark side or the sunny side. If it weren't for money, few people would like to live in a small room without lights all the year round. If nothing else, the lack of light would make people feel uncomfortable. What are the advantages of sitting in a house facing south?

This has to be traced back to the source. As early as in primitive society, Han ancestors built village houses in the direction of sitting north facing south, and most of the houses discovered by archaeology face south. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the direction of measurement was the first step in choosing the environment. According to the poem Gongliu, the scenery at that time was a mountain, and yin and yang were harmonious. Chao, a politician in the Han Dynasty, once suggested that when choosing a city site, we should "consider the combination of Yin and Yang, taste its springs and judge its suitability, which is the boundary between architecture and fields." In other words, the north is cloudy, the south is yang, the north is cloudy, and the south is yang.

In fact, because China is located in the northern hemisphere of the earth and in the east of Eurasia, most of the land is located in the north of the Tropic of Cancer (north latitude), and the sunshine comes from the south all the year round, so the houses facing south are convenient for sunshine. Houses in Chaoyang have many benefits for people: first, they can keep warm, and the temperature in the south room is higher than that in the north room 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, especially on respiratory diseases; Fourth, it can enhance human immune function.

There is a difference between evil wind and yang wind. Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between yin and yang. The warm wind and warm wind blowing from east to south can also be called yang wind. The cold wind from west to north is called Ming wind, and there is a blue case. Otherwise, the wind will blow the bones and the family will decline. In short, the principle of facing south is a correct understanding of natural phenomena, conforming to heaven, gaining the aura of mountains and rivers, accepting the brilliance of the sun and the moon, supporting the body, cultivating sentiment and outstanding people.
