What is "emphasizing the left over the right" in China traditional culture?

China's Left Theory has existed since ancient times. Left is big, right is small, left is yang, right is yin, left is auspicious, and right is fierce. Burning incense and worshipping Buddha means that the left hand covers the right hand, which means "the left net covers the right dirt". Whether the husband and wife are standing or sitting, the husband and wife are on the left and the brothers are arranged from left to right. When the emperor travels with the harem, the left must be the right. This is how Xinlingjun waited for Hou Ying to get his death reward. The emperor rushed out to meet the generals who returned home in triumph. If you invite him to ride with you, the emperor is on the left and the general is on the right. Otherwise, rebellion is a great sin, and so on.
