As the old saying goes, "It's better to lose your wealth than give up your house to the south". What do you mean?

I'd rather lose my wealth than give up my house to the south

Literally, I'd rather give up my wealth than give up my house to the south. So why did the ancients leave such rhetoric? At any time, money is a necessity of life. Why is the house facing south more important than money?

as we know, for the ancients, having a wealth was a family that was either rich or expensive. But this proverb shows that the house facing south is more important than money. In fact, in our life, especially in rural areas, friends should know that when building a house, they will choose to build a house facing south. Building a house in rural areas pays attention to orientation, as well as foundation, beam, capping and so on.

people like to sit in houses facing north to south, especially houses with very positive orientation. According to people, such a house can gather wealth and bring good luck to people. Just like we usually rent a house outside, houses facing south are more expensive than those facing north. Even if they are expensive, people often like houses facing south.

It has been a cultural tradition in China for thousands of years that houses face north. No one says that they want to face north when building a house. Houses facing south are considered to be able to conform to the heaven, gain the aura of mountains and rivers, be influenced by the brilliance of the sun and the moon, support their bodies, cultivate their feelings, and make outstanding achievements. Of course, some friends will think that this statement is superstitious. In fact, sitting in a house facing south is of great benefit to daily life. Everyone has a deep understanding of this since childhood.

It's good to take a house facing south for lighting. China is determined by its geographical location. The sun always rises in the east and then sets in the west. Taking a house facing south can maximize the lighting.

And the house facing south is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is warmer when the sun shines into the house in winter. In this case, the temperature in the room will be higher.

In our daily life, windy weather is quite common, especially in spring and autumn, and sitting in a house facing south can resist some of the cold.

From the above points, the ancients were very particular about building houses, which is also the charm of our China culture. Not only conforms to nature, but also embodies the wisdom in life. As the saying goes, "It is better to lose your wealth than to give up your house to the south". But it can be seen that the ancients attached importance to this way of life.

Although many people live in high-rise buildings now, the principle of buying a house is that the house facing south is the best. But in rural areas, basically every family's house faces south. The words of the ancients should be kept in mind whether we use them or not.
