The ancients thought that the north was yin and the south was yang, and the place with good feng shui should be harmonious between yin and yang. As early as the primitive society, China ancestors built village houses facing south. Most of the ancient houses found in modern archaeology face south.
Until modern times, houses facing south are the first choice for modern people to buy a house at home.
There are three reasons for choosing a house facing south:
1, good lighting. "House Classics" says that indoor lighting is better where the windows face south, southeast or southwest. Sitting facing south can make full use of sunlight, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
2. Good ventilation. Sitting facing south will make the air in the room fully circulate.
3. Avoid the north wind. Sitting facing south is not only for the glory and ventilation of the house, but also to avoid the north wind. China is a country with monsoon climate. The continuous invasion of Siberian cold current in winter and the gradual change of Pacific cool wind in summer lead to the changeable monsoon direction throughout the year.
In this regard, China people had a profound understanding long ago, and divided the wind into yang wind and evil wind. "Dizheng" said: Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between Yin and Yang. The warm wind from east to south is just right. The cool wind and cold wind from west to north are called evil wind, which should be blocked by a recent case, otherwise the wind will blow the bones cold. That means avoiding the northwest wind.
Generally speaking, it is not an ideal choice for property buyers to sit in a southwest-northeast house. Because in addition to poor lighting conditions, it is easy to absorb moist substances in the air, which is harmful to human health.
In fact, it is not easy to find the direction facing south, so it is ok to be slightly east or west based on the principle of due south. If the house can't face south, we need to set more windows in the south, or open skylights, increase lighting and heating equipment, and plant some flowers and plants in the north to make up for it.
