    The inverted seat house of the courtyard house is usually used for the living of the next person.

    The inverted seat means that the courtyard house is opposite the main house, usually sitting south facing north. The characteristic of the inverted seat house is that the direction corresponds to the opening of the main house, and it is located in the southernmost row of houses in the entire courtyard, because its doors and windows are facing north, and the lighting is not good, so it is usually used as a guest room or a house for the next person to live in.

    The so-called "inverted room" is actually the south room, and the old Beijingers also call it "inverted room". Why is the south room called the "inverted room" instead of the "south room"? This is due to traditional customs and hierarchies.

    In Beijing, whether it is a courtyard house or an ordinary courtyard, the old Beijingers call the north house "the main house", and also think that the house is "north is the top". The main house is the "center" of a courtyard, sitting north and facing south, with good lighting.

    On the other hand, the south room faces north, and the sunlight almost never shines into the house. Since the location of the south room and the main room is exactly opposite, it is called the "inverted seat room".
