Ba Zhai 4 Auspicious Directions

When learning Ba Zhai from different sources, the interpretation of the meaning of the Auspicious Directions always differs. So I decided to look through the ancient scriptures for their true meanings. I have compiled the common interpretations followed by the exact texts from the scriptures so that everyone can make a comparison. It is not complete at the moment but this is what I have done so far. It is not a easy task since some of the old Chinese words used in the ancient scriptures are not in use nowadays and thus not available in any dictionary.
