    Because since ancient times, the east house is the upper room, so the east room is the upper room, the composition of the old-fashioned house in China is generally a southward main house, the front two sides of the main house are rebuilt east-west wings, the east head room of the main house is the upper room, and the upper room must be the owner or the most authoritative person in the family of the house, the upper room can not even live in the younger generations and the next person, let alone rent to outsiders to live, the so-called landlord is the person who lives in the east head of the upper room, that is, the meaning of the owner.

    Both the landlord and the proprietor express the meaning of the host.

    As for why the "east" is the "master", it is recorded in the "Quli Chapter" in the "Book of Rites": "The master is on the east step, the guest is on the west step, and if the guest is downgraded, then the master is on the master's level." The host resigned, and then returned to the west steps.

    This phrase speaks of the rules of etiquette between the host and the guest. From the text, it can be seen that the "east" position represents the master. What we usually call "doing the east" (the host treats) and the host (allusion to ** in the Spring and Autumn Period Qin State attacked Zheng State, Zheng Wengong requested the withdrawal of troops with ** Qin State logistics materials, because Zheng State was in the east of Qin State, so it is called the host country) also contains this meaning.

    Further study, in the astrological theory of ancient Zhou Yi, there are four sacred beasts in the four palaces of the southeast, northwest and north, the east palace Canglong, the south palace vermilion bird, the west palace white tiger (salty pool), and the north palace Xuanwu. Each of them belongs to 7 nakshatras, making a total of 28 nakshatras. The Seven Houses to which the East Palace Canglong belongs are:

    Horn, hyper, di, atrium, heart, tail, kei. "Historical Records: Book of Heavenly Officials" records: "East Palace Canglong, Fang, Heart".

    As the totem of the Chinese nation, the "dragon" is a symbol of auspiciousness and longevity, and the ancient emperors regarded themselves as dragons. Therefore, it is understandable to respect the "east".

    Analysis: In ancient China, the east was the top, and when sitting, the general host sat on the top and sat on the east side, and the guest bird hole was on the west side, and only the emperor could sit in the north and face south. The arrangement of the residence is also the same, generally the owner lives in the east, the guest room is arranged in the west, and the middle is generally used as a living room for guests or a tablet for the ancestors.

    Because of this reason, in the future, the host will be called the landlord, and the person who treats the guest will be called the host.

    In the same way, the left and right in ancient China also had dignity and humility. However, the dignity of the left and right varies from one period to another. However, the division of East and West as the guest of honor has always remained the same.

    Interpretation] One of the directions; The side of the sun coming out: the east wind and the east of the river go east. The host (in ancient times, the lord was in the east, and the guest was in the west) was dry: the landlord, the shareholder, and the owner. The host (referring to the host of the treat) Lu Tu: I will be the host, and I will invite you to dinner.
