What does the rural saying "poor in the east, rich in the west, rich in the south and dead in the north" mean?

This rural proverb means the feng shui problem of bed placement at home. In ancient times, people were particularly superstitious. They think that the placement of the bed is very critical and will affect their lives. If the head of the bed faces east and north, it will make the feng shui at home worse, leading to the family going from bad to worse. Therefore, the east is poor, that is to say, if the bed faces the east, the life at home will become poorer and poorer.

But if the position of the bedside faces west, it will be different, and the life at home will be more and more rich, so it is the richest man in the west. The same is true of Nanshou Wealth, which means that if the head of the bed faces south, life at home will flourish. If the head of the bed faces north, it goes without saying that there may be fewer and fewer people at home, either sick or dead.

But these things only circulated in ancient times, but not in contemporary society, because people are not so superstitious anymore. There are various housing structures now. When making the bed, it must be placed according to the structure of the house, which is more in line with living habits.

Because in ancient times, people built their own houses, so they paid more attention to the orientation of the house and naturally paid more attention to the placement of the bedside in the house. But now the houses in the society are built by developers, and living does not determine the orientation of the house. Although a good apartment is more desirable, it is mainly because of good lighting, not because of superstition, so most people pay less and less attention to these statements now.

Not only in cities, but also in rural areas, no one attaches importance to this statement, because everyone knows that it is superstition and has no scientific basis. The real way to change fate is to create wealth through constant labor. If you always believe in these superstitions, even if your bed faces south, if you do nothing, you will be particularly lazy, and even if you make a bed facing south, you will not become rich.
