The question from a netizen is: Which side is the best Feng Shui facing the villa door?
The simple understanding and answer is: The door of the villa should face the south!
summarizes and judges from the perspective of pure Feng Shui Luantou learning terrain!
1. Emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women, wealthy and rich families should face the south. Ordinary poor people should face the southeast - Qianshan Xun direction and Haishan Si direction. The reason is that "the emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women, rich and rich families" have strong measures to keep warm and suitable for facing south. The measures to keep warm in "ordinary poor people" are not very effective, facing southeast - Qianshan Xun, and Haishan Si.
2. The Mingtang in front of the house is spacious and flat, with sufficient sunshine, and the area of Caiyang is wide. The Caiyang in the Mingtang is efficient and should face south. The Mingtang in front of the house is not spacious, the area of the yang harvest is narrow, and the rate of the yang harvest in the Mingtang is poor. It is suitable to face the southeast - Qianshan Xun direction and Haishan Si direction.
3. When it comes to tropical areas, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian... it is best not to face west. The sun is too hot and the weather is uncomfortable and uncomfortable!
In ancient times, in Feng Shui, facing north and south, there were regulations that ordinary people were not allowed to use this direction. The reason was that the north and south were the special seat lines for "sacred", "emperor", "monarch, nobleman", and "noble," and ordinary people occupied it. The blessing power of the eight characters was too small, and it was against the sacred nobles, which was not good for themselves and their families.
Ancient Feng Shui explanation is: the positive lines of the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth in the north and south, and the east and west are the directions of the sun and the moon. Generally, ordinary people do not have enough blessings and cannot be used.
The fact is: Facing north and south is the most excellent choice in Feng Shui, and it conforms to the most favorable trajectory law that conforms to the climate, air circulation and sunlight invasion in mainland China. In history, feudal dynasties in history have been in order to inherit the dragon vein of the royal family and flourished, and the imperial power ruled for thousands of years. There are Feng Shui regulations and taboos that strictly prohibit the people from using the north and south.
Any Feng Shui master who has a master who teaches his disciples to "teach and help" will not be able to use the teacher's training in the north and south, but it is absolutely necessary to use it, and they must deviate from the practice of the north and south.
Folk customs: "I would rather lose my wealth than leave my house to the south." Where is the advantage of the house facing south!
If a person's family wealth reaches a huge fortune, in ancient society, he should be a very wealthy family and would definitely be able to build a few more new houses.
From the literal sense of the common saying, it is obvious that the house built by using the exaggerated "towards the south" theory of folk sayings may not really lose the wealth. In fact, the direction facing south is the direction facing south. In folk proverbs, it is just to emphasize the importance of facing south, and to illustrate the status of "houses facing south" in the minds of ancient people.
analyzes this common saying from a folk perspective. In fact, there are two other meanings: 1. "The house faces south" refers to the ancestral house, which is the root of "family" and "family". Generally speaking, the people in our country regard the ancestral house as the foundation of "family" and "family". No matter how much the price someone pays, they will not easily give it up. 2. "House facing south" represents a person's identity and status in "family" and "family".
1. The direction of building houses in different places is not all "south"!
The direction of traditional houses in my country is mostly facing north and south. This is the life experience summarized by ancient ancestors based on the geographical and climatic characteristics of our country. It has become common sense among people among the people. However, not all houses are built according to the north and south. The orientation of houses is not exactly the same in different places and geographical environments.
Usually, most of the houses facing north and south are distributed in plain areas in the north.
The north is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, the relatively developed economic and cultural area in ancient my country, and the most concentrated population. Therefore, the northern region of has a high level of social civilization, leading the development of the times, and is also an area where houses are easier to choose.
The hilly terrain in the south, and the area with a wide and flat terrain can choose to face south, and may prefer to face south. If the residential houses cannot choose to face north and south due to geographical restrictions, they can only make the best orientation choice based on the geographical environment. This is especially true for houses in the southern mountainous areas.
In cities, whether in ancient times or modern times, most of them pay attention to the crisscrossing streets and well-connected. Houses on both sides of the street can only obey urban planning and be built according to the street. Many houses on both sides of the street cannot be paid attention to facing north and south.
is a house and a courtyard facing north and south. In the same courtyard, not all houses face north and south. Therefore, the so-called north-facing south-facing in the house refers to the main house, also known as the main house and the north house, and at the same time, it refers to the orientation of the entire courtyard. In a four-sided courtyard, except for the main house facing north and south, the other houses face not completely south. The east wing room on the east side of the main house faces east and west, and the west wing room on the west side of the main house faces east, and the house in front of the main house faces south and north.
Although it is a common traditional custom in our country to face north and south, there are not many houses that are truly "south-facing" in number. There are three-bedroom courtyards, and only one house is "south-facing" in one house. Brothers split up their families and want to live in houses that are "south-facing" and houses that are facing south have become scarce resources. Therefore, the people have "will rather lose their wealth than leave their houses to the south."
2. Advantages of "houses facing south"!
Traditional Chinese houses, the courtyard facing is subject to the orientation of the main house. The main house faces north and south, and the courtyard faces north and south, commonly known as "house facing south" and "house facing south". The shape of the courtyard is usually square and rectangular, and rectangular is the best.
The best shape of the courtyard facing north and south is narrow and long. The folk custom believes that "north and south are narrow and long, wealth and auspicious." People believe that courtyards facing north and south should not be in a narrow shape east and west.
What are the advantages of a long and narrow courtyard facing north and south? According to the ancients' understanding, it is to "hide wind and absorb energy" and "hide wind and gather energy".
This is a somewhat profound statement, especially since the folk have added the understanding of Feng Shui, which makes people feel even more mysterious and mysterious.
To put it simply, it can make the courtyard and house "warm in winter and cool in summer". In winter, you can avoid the biting north and northwest winds, and in spring and summer, you can allow the south and southeast winds to blow into the courtyard.
People all know that in winter, the room is warm. Once the door is opened and the wind blows in, the room will immediately become cold.
In winter when the north wind is blowing, people are already very cold in the wild, and in unobstructed places, the wind is even colder. However, if you are in a place with the north wind, it will be warmer than in a place with the north wind. It is the same for a person to stand in an empty field. Facing the cold wind, his face is like being cut by a knife, and he feels difficult to breathe, but it is obviously better to face the cold wind with his back. In ancient times, people had long discovered the advantage of "turning north to south". The house and courtyard face north and south. The main house is the tallest building in the courtyard, which can block the "north wind" and "northwest wind" in winter and create a sheltering environment. This is what is called "hiding wind".
When it is spring and summer, when the weather is hot, the wind direction becomes south wind and southeast wind, which is stuffy inside. In spring and summer, it is a rainy season, and the indoors are relatively humid, because other buildings in the courtyard are lower than those in the main house, and with the front door open, the south wind and southeast wind can blow into the courtyard, which is conducive to ventilation, cooling the interior, and reducing the humidity in the room, making people feel more comfortable. Many people are used to sitting at the gate of the courtyard facing south in hot weather, mainly because the gate is ventilated and cooler, making it a good place to enjoy the cool. This is what is called "gathering energy". "Storing the wind and gathering energy", the wind that needs to "storing" is: avoid the cold current in the north and rush directly. The energy to "gather" is: accepting the warm current from the south.
Houses and courtyards facing north and south are best in interior lighting according to the laws of the sun's movement in all seasons. China is in the northern hemisphere of the earth. The sun shines on the ground in China and is slanted northward. This is a characteristic of the sun illuminating houses facing south. The sunlight can shine indoors in winter. But it can also avoid the exposure of the east and west sun in spring and summer. It has a good heating effect on the cold and heat of all seasons.
The moisture in spring and summer, the exposure in summer, and the cold in winter will make people sick, while reasonable ventilation and reasonable sunshine environment can make people healthy.Therefore, the courtyards of our country like to build courtyards facing north and south. This is the experience summarized by the ancient people through observation of the natural environment in the long river of history. It is a kind of wisdom to adapt to nature, and of course it must conform to the laws of nature. This is one of the reasons why the folk custom "will rather lose your wealth than leave your house to look south."
3. "House facing south" refers not only to the ancestral house, but also to represent identity and status!
The ancestral house, also known as the old house in the countryside, refers to both the old house that exists, and the house does not exist, but there is still a foundation. This kind of ancestral house usually refers to a wide range. For example, the old houses lived in by ancestors, some of which were lived in by ancestors several generations ago, and their descendants have developed into many families. This kind of house has a long history. Some are old houses that a family lived in. After the son splits up, it becomes the ancestral house. The history of the house is not very long. However, the builder of the house has become the ancestors, and such old houses are considered ancestral houses.
In ancient times, most rural houses built according to the traditional custom of facing north and south. Therefore, most of the ancestral houses were "houses facing south". In some places, the main house of the ancestral house is usually called "south-facing house" and "south-facing house".
In ancient times, there was a rule in rural families that when brothers separated, the legitimate son must take up a share in the main house. If the main house is a house with a "three bright and two dark" structure, there are three legitimate sons in the family. When the family is divided, except for the main hall, the three brothers will be divided into one room, and the remaining one will be used for public use. If it is four sons born from the legitimate family, then it will be exactly one room for each person. If it is more than five sons born from the legitimate family, because there are not so many rooms in the main house, the ground in the courtyard will be divided into one piece for the sons who have not been assigned to the main house. The son who was born in a illegitimate house is not qualified to be divided into a regular house, but can only be divided into a partial house.
The method of dividing houses in rural areas is mainly to prevent the house from being demolished due to conflicts or collapsed due to no one "cuisines". In reality, in many rural areas, many ancient buildings that have been preserved to this day are preserved because the descendants have too many people in the property rights of the ancestral house. Some houses can reach dozens of households and cannot be demolished and rebuilt.
It is because of this that the ancestral house represented the identity status of the family branch in the feudal era. If the property rights of the ancestral house were abandoned, it would be equivalent to giving up his identity status in the family. Also, because the ancestor's house represents the roots of descendants, no one can bear it, and will not give up easily, let alone give up easily.
There is such a village, and there are still more than a dozen ancestral houses. The descendants of the ancestral houses have been out for hundreds of years and have now developed to several provinces. However, they still have property rights for the ancestral houses. When the branches and descendants who go out come to search for their roots, they must go to the ancestral house to show their ownership of the ancestral house and confess that their roots are still here. It is said that in the past, some of these families have negotiated with people from the moving families many times, hoping that they will give up the property rights of the ancestral house. However, every negotiation ends in vain. No matter how high the price others pay, they just refuse to transfer it. They would ask back: "Can the roots of the family be sold?" Leave the buyer speechless. This should be a typical example of "I would rather lose my wealth than leave my house to look south." Why does this happen in
? The idea that plays a pillar role is the ancient customs in the countryside. There is a widely circulated saying: "Don't leave the old house when you eat, and do not leave the old house when you make money."
People believe that an old house farm is like the roots of a big tree. The deeper the roots are, the more developed the roots are, and the big trees will live lushly. Since the old house farm is the root of one's own "family" and "family", this root is related to the fate of the entire "family" and "family". As long as the roots are stable, the family and the family's career outside will definitely develop. Under the domination of this concept, the roots of the family and the family become priceless. Just imagine, who is willing to cut off your own roots easily!
In fact, apart from folk customs, the reason why the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Chinese nation can be passed down continuously is inseparable from the unique "root culture" since the history of the Chinese nation. I hope that this "root culture" gene in our nation will not be cut off by foreign cultures, but will continue to be passed on and carried forward.
In short, the saying "I would rather lose my family's wealth than leave my house to look south" is a unique cultural phenomenon in traditional folk houses in my country, a spiritual sustenance, and fully reflects the wisdom of ancient ancestors. People cannot simply include this common saying in the ranks of feudal and confusing belief, and its spiritual connotation is profound!
