In the past, many things in the countryside were very particular. This sentence is about the location of beds.
"Poor in the east and rich in the west": This sentence means that if the bedside faces east, or in the east of the bedroom, then life will be poorer, while if it faces west or is close to the west, life will be richer. "The south is rich, and the north is dead": This sentence means that if the head of the bed faces south or south, it will be rich, but if the head of the bed faces north or north, life will not be good, and even the family may be broken and the family will easily break up.
Therefore, in rural areas, people's beds are generally placed in the west without rushing to the east, or in the south without rushing to the north. However, there is no scientific basis for the saying that "the east is poor and the west is rich, and the south is rich and the north dies first". This should be a habit of people for a long time. But it is the experience gained by the ancients through the lives of several generations, so there should be some truth, so we might as well give it a try. However, human beings spend less than half of their life in bed, so the placement of the bed still depends on how comfortable they are.
