The Chinese have always sought stability and order, and they make a big deal about how their residences and tombs are oriented. "With a dragon on the left and tiger on the right to ward off bad luck and with a rose finch and a black soldier to regulate the Yin and Yang," it was believed, "children and grandchildren will surround you and your ancestors will be happy and prosperous."
中國人向來希冀穩定、有秩序的世界，住宅、墓葬均講方位，所謂「左龍右虎闢不祥，朱雀玄武調陰陽，子孫備具居中央，長保二親樂富昌」。
