The orientation of the stove

Every home Feng Shui environment, whether it is the living room, bedroom, kitchen, or bathroom, is inseparable from the influence of orientation and aura. In the traditional Zhouyi culture, orientation is divided into four positive polar directions: due east, due west, due north, and due south. The four positive directions can also be extended into eight directions: "Zhendong, Duixi, Linan, Kanbei, Qianxi northwest, Kun southwest, Gen northeast, and Xun southeast". In these eight directions, Li is south, which represents fire; Zhen is east, which represents wood. Both orientations represent the strong aura of wood fire. The five element attribute of the stove is fire, so it is most suitable to place the stove in these directions. However, it is not suitable to place the stove in the west or north, because the west represents the five elements of gold, which can easily cause fire and metal to conflict with each other, while the north represents water, which can easily cause water and fire to conflict with each other, resulting in blocked auras.
