Sitting east facing west is the orientation of sitting, which is a concept of China Feng Shui.
Sitting direction is also called mountain direction. Also take the gate as the direction (the gate is in the same direction as sitting), facing the gate, the direction is "direction" and the opposite direction is "sitting".
Extended data
The orientation of the house must be relative to the direction. When the gate faces west, the house sits east facing west. Eight directions correspond to eight kinds of divinatory symbols, namely, dry, watching, gen, earthquake, ten-day, calendar, Kun and right. The "sitting" position of a house determines what it belongs to. The door of the house faces east, sitting in the west, and the west is the "exchange" of gossip. That house is an exchange.
For example, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall sits east to west.
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is located in a prime location in downtown Taipei-west of Hangzhou South Road, east of Zhongshan South Road, north of Ai Guo East Road and south of Xinyi Road, covering an area of 250,000 square meters. It was built in 1975 to commemorate Jiang Zhongzheng (Jiang Zhongzheng, Zi Jieshi).
It took nearly five years from the initial planning, preparation to completion. According to Yang Zhuocheng, the designer of the memorial hall, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is the top of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing and the main body of the Egyptian pyramid. The reason why it sits east facing west is to overlook the mainland.
