Four elements of home feng shui-fire and water in the kitchen

Among the four factors in the first two articles, I talked about the door and bed in home geomantic omen, because the door is the vent in and out of the house, so the order of the door is first; When you enter the house, you can settle down with people as the center, so the order of beds ranks second; We are trapped in the house, and we have to solve the problem of eating. Eating is the first material basis for human survival, but we are not primitive people, so the kitchen is the third among the four factors of home feng shui. Don't underestimate the importance of the kitchen just because it ranks third. In fact, the kitchen is as important as the door and the bed, but we should have an order when we talk about things. It is impossible to complete all theories equally.

This paper focuses on the kitchen in home geomantic omen-fire and water ji ji.

When it comes to kitchen feng shui, you may think of the kitchen first. Because the kitchen belongs to fire, the history of using fire is the history of human civilization, so when it comes to kitchen, everyone thinks of it. In the famous geomantic classic "Three Essentials of Yang Zhai" in China, the kitchen in the door bed is one of the three elements. In fact, what I want to tell you is that if you look at the kitchen from the perspective of Feng Shui, you can only get half of the knowledge about kitchen Feng Shui. Because under the guidance of classicism, everyone only saw the shadow of the fire-stove, but did not see the other half of the kitchen feng shui-water. A complete kitchen feng shui must be a fire and water ji ji, and it is indispensable to talk about kitchen feng shui. Just like cooking, if you only use fire to barbecue without water infiltration, you can't cook, so water and fire are two necessary conditions for kitchen feng shui.

Of the two essential conditions of kitchen geomantic omen, fire refers to the heat source of cooking and burning, which generally refers to stove fire, pit fire or fire in ancient times. Today we all belong to the category of stove fire, such as various gas stoves, induction cookers and microwave ovens. Water is water, and it has always been an indispensable material in the kitchen. In home geomantic omen, water tanks, faucets and vegetable washing pools are all considered as water.

Since we want to understand the kitchen geomantic omen, the position of the kitchen and the water level, we must first understand the properties of water and fire. Only by understanding the properties of water and fire can we classify them according to the properties and then match them with various orientation properties of houses. Only in this way can we know the real kitchen feng shui, otherwise we can only see the wind with the wind and have no opinion of ourselves, and this is the partial disease in today's feng shui world. I hope my friends can understand.

The nature of water and fire: water is soft, amorphous and easy-going, and it adheres to other objects to form fluids, which merge into rivers, lakes and seas and disperse into rain and dew clouds; Its nature permeates downwards, it has the ability to penetrate everywhere, it changes with the changes of the four seasons, and the movement of flowing earth is the source of all life. Because water is agile, it belongs to, so water belongs to yin.

Fire is irregular, flashing and active, and its color is Zhu; Dry and fierce, its shape rises, which is the rising gas, the heat generated by combustion, heating for cooking when soft, steelmaking and metallurgy when fierce, and burning fires in all fields when dry and ruthless, which is the aura of change. We classify its agility as Yin Qi, so fire belongs to Yin.

Because of the agility of fire, water and qi, both water and fire are regarded as yin. Although they are both negative, their personalities are opposite. Water dominates infiltration and feminization, while fire dominates rising and drying. When we understand the feminine taste of water, fire and soil, we can use the theory of four images to analyze the good and bad position of water, fire and soil. In the theory of four images, the front is yin, the back is yang, the right is yin and the left is yang. Therefore, the negative place is suitable for living with negative substances, so that we can know how to put the fire, water and gas in the kitchen feng shui. After understanding the negativity of fire, water and gas, we can understand why there can't be water and fire behind the house. Why are they called "sprinkling water on flowers" and "burning"? Today, my four images theory, I believe everyone can analyze these problems.

In the application of home geomantic omen, the position of the stove and the faucet of the water tank is very important, but due to the space of interior design and various configurations of furniture, we can't completely follow the geomantic omen theory. Therefore, in the feng shui layout of stoves and faucets, I will not say where it is suitable to install stoves and faucets, but explain to you where it is not allowed to install stoves and faucets. As long as you remember the taboo positions of fire, water and gas, everything else can be used. Only in this way can it conform to the "harmonious" concept of home feng shui. Just like the bed feng shui mentioned earlier, I mainly explain the taboo of bed feng shui to you, and everything else is available. Otherwise, there are many beds in a family. If you pay attention to the suitability of each piece, I think there will be great problems with such geomantic omen.

The following are some taboos about the placement of fire and water in home feng shui:

First, the stove or water tank faucet can't be placed directly behind the house. Because the rear is yang and the fire and water are yin, it is not suitable. The rear is the backing of the whole house, and it is the male owner of the house. If you install a stove here, it will be harmful to the health of the male owner. The culprit is blood pressure or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems; If the male host is still young and strong, the host is grumpy and easy to get angry; In addition, this situation also has an impact on the family. After living for a long time, there are also cases where sons are rebellious towards their fathers, and fathers and sons are often angry. If a water tank or faucet is installed here, the effect is similar to that of "shower head water", and elderly men need to prevent stroke or encephalopathy or kidney disease. This is the most important taboo in home feng shui, where fire and water are placed.

Second, you can't put the spirit of Jiugong in the center of the house. If it is empty, it will circulate, and if it is empty, it will suffocate. Therefore, the palace is the hub of airflow in the whole house. The Theory of Feng Shui Fetal Interest says that "the house is like a heart, the house is like a heart, the house is like a heart, and the house is like a heart." This Gongbao stove, the people in the house are violent and dry, but in the body, it is mainly responsible for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, bad heart rate and so on. There are two kinds here: 1, if it is a soil stove or a big iron stove in rural areas, the main cardiovascular infarction diseases are more common; 2, if it is a modern gas stove or induction cooker, it is just strong-willed or impatient, or high blood pressure. There is water on this side, which is pervasive because of the flow of steam, which can help the popularization of gas, but it can't be the opening of wells or sewer pipes, because there are defects and air leakage!

Third, the center of the house cannot be placed in front of the stove, but the stove can be placed in front. But a big fire is not good for the house. If you sit in a position where the north faces south, you should avoid the front, so as to prevent fire. If it is a small restaurant, just put the stove in front. As long as you don't block the outlet, it is the image of rising wealth, so you should distinguish between living room and business. There is water straight ahead.
