China northern winter solstice solar terms, the house sits facing south, where the sun can't shine?

1. The house facing south used to be called the first house, because it was warm in winter and cool in summer, with plenty of light. Even in winter, sunlight can shine into the depths of the room, making people feel bright and warm. As soon as you enter the room, you will feel comfortable. Moreover, in this living room, in summer, when the sun rises close to the top of the head, the house cannot be exposed to strong sunlight. In addition, the southeast wind can also be blown into the house through windows and portals, making people feel cool and comfortable. So people in China are willing to live in the north room, that is, the room facing south.

2. The direct point of the sun can only move back and forth near the equator, and the northernmost point can only reach 230 degrees 27 minutes north latitude, which is what we call the Tropic of Cancer. Moving south can only reach 23 degrees 27 minutes south latitude, which is the so-called tropic of Capricorn.

Therefore, it is impossible for the sun to run overhead in the area north of the Tropic of Cancer. Therefore, the sun always hangs in the southern sky. The vast majority of China's territory is north of the Tropic of Cancer. Because of this, in China, it is right that the houses in Chaoyang face south.
