What does the civil and military gate of the house mean?

The civil and military doors of residential buildings are the characteristic forms of traditional buildings in China. Based on the North Gate, the East Gate, the South Gate and the West Gate, combined with some concrete symbols and abstract images in China culture, it is a door built according to Feng Shui theory. In general, the civil and military doors of a house will stand in the center of the house and be symmetrical with the central axis. Its significance lies not only in the visual beauty, but also in conveying people's beautiful yearning for living and working in peace and contentment and happiness.

Civil-military doors of residential buildings are not only widely used in traditional buildings in China, but also become the focus of cultural exchange and academic research. In ancient China, civil and military doors were widely used in the residential buildings of officials, nobles and wealthy businessmen. In modern times, with the increasingly close cultural exchanges, more and more people are interested in the significance and value of military and civilian doors in residential buildings, so that this traditional architectural element can be spread and carried forward.

The appearance of civil and military doors in residential buildings not only reflects the rich heritage of traditional culture in China, but also reflects the concern and pursuit of social and personal development in ancient China. In modern society, with the acceleration of urbanization, housing industry has become an important part of urban construction. In this context, the military and civilian doors of residential buildings have broken through the traditional boundaries and become a bridge between different cultural fields and architectural styles, bringing new opportunities and challenges to the diversified development and cultural integration of cities.
