2. Yes this is correct. Under the Four Symbolic Animal Concept (pertaining to the concept where the back should have `solid backing' and front `clear space') no matter where the house faces this should be the concept. (Based on Shapes and Form School of interpetation of the Four Symbolic Animal Concept).

3. Yes, this is correct under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui `where' the `bird or phoneix' can fly freely infront of the house. This signifies a good frontage for the front side of the house.

4. It does not matter if the main door is at the side of the house in the above situation. The frontage is always recognisable for a home.

5. As I mentioned in an earlier message, that due to the cold winds and `yellow' dust blowing from the North in Chinese cities, buildings avoid having a window or door at the North side.

6. While the houses usually face south. Therefore, many classic books usually just consider the situation in China and mentioned the Four Symboilc concepts with the Bird (South) and Tortise (Mountain/North) in such a situation.

7. Under the Compass School of Feng Shui, it is entirely different as usually, colours are added :-

ref: https://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm where the bird (phoneix) is Red representing South direction.

8. I also mentioned this in my book and some earlier messages that pictorial representations are the easiest to understand. This is why a few Feng Shui schools use the same concept. But if we do not have a `clear' understanding of this, may thus get very confused over the various interpretations based on different schools of Feng Shui.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
