Why do we always say "go to the bathroom" and "go to the kitchen"? What's the point?
You should know that the ancients were very superstitious about Feng Shui, especially in architecture. When the ancients built houses, they must have built them according to Feng Shui. Ancient houses were generally built in the form of quadrangles. It is important to sit in the north facing south, so the toilet cannot be built in the south, otherwise the whole yard and house will stink when the wind blows. So the toilet will be built in the north, and the terrain in the north is generally higher than that in the south. According to the principle of going north and going south, going to the toilet comes from this.
The same principle is used in the kitchen. In ancient times, kitchens would live in the south. According to the principle of upper north and lower south, the kitchen comes from this. If you go to the kitchen, you go south. Topographically, the south is low, which means you go to a low place. This is also one of the origins of the name of the chef. However, there is another reason to go to the kitchen. People in the kitchen are generally servants in the government, and the kitchen where the servants are located is called the kitchen.
Generally speaking, from ancient times to the present, the main reasons for going to the toilet and going to the kitchen are the ancient geomantic omen in China and the overall topography of our country. It can also be seen that in ancient China, the system was strict, and the naming of a name was also very particular. China's culture is profound, a common name ignored by the public, and it also contains the wisdom and profound meaning of the ancients.
