"Xiang" refers to the direction of the gate, that is, the direction of the door where we usually go in and out of the house; The doors and windows of ancient houses are oriented in the same direction, and modern buildings pay attention to more windows and more sunshine. It is common for a house to have windows on all sides. No matter how many windows or balconies our house has, when we talk about the orientation of the house, we always take the orientation of the entrance into and out of the house as the standard.
In a practical sense, the sitting direction of the house should be facing the gate, the direction you face is facing the direction, and the back is sitting. So all the houses facing south in China are north houses, and the doors are open on the south wall of the houses. In modern buildings, the doors are mostly oriented in the east-west direction, so the sitting posture now depends on which direction the main lighting surface of the room is. If the lighting surface of the main room is in the south, it is facing south.

Advantages of opening the door to the outside:
1, as Bian Xiao said above, opening to the outside world has increased the indoor usable area. It also brings a lot of convenience to our home life. If you open it inward, the placement of shoes after entering the house is a problem. It is also a very troublesome thing to open the door and move shoes when entering and leaving. If you drive outward, there will be no trouble in this regard.
2. For high-rise or small high-rise buildings, when there is a fire and other accidents, super-opening the door can save time and discuss the fire scene at the first time.
It's safer to open the door outside in case of danger! For example, in the event of theft, the owner can hold the door in the house and it is not easy to be knocked down.
4. Many people value home feng shui. In geomantic omen, the entrance door is a setting to resist the outside world, which can effectively prevent some bad things from entering the home, thus bringing peace to the family and being very beneficial to the cause.
Disadvantages of opening doors to the outside:
1. If the corridor space of the building is relatively narrow or the door distance is too close, it is actually inconvenient if the meeting with the door facing outwards affects daily access.
The house price is very expensive at present. In order to increase space, the owner wants to open the entrance door to the outside. If it is too close to the neighbor's door, it will easily bring inconvenience to the other person's daily life, thus causing contradictions between neighbors and disharmony.
