Asking for advice on feng shui issues on kitchen stoves
It doesn’t matter, other layout methods are unlucky. However, we should pay attention to the questions raised by wslsl1988.
Kitchen Feng Shui
The kitchen should not be facing south. South belongs to fire, and the combination of fire and fire is unlucky. And food in the south is perishable. The east and southeast belong to wood, and are in harmony with water and fire.
The kitchen belongs to "lonely yang and dry fire"; the bathroom belongs to "lonely yin and turbid water". The two merge into one and exist in the heart of the house. Not only can they not form a harmonious combination of yin and yang, but they will become a situation where fire and water are in conflict, which is double disadvantage. A house is like a person's heart. If the center is polluted, it will not only hinder the view, but also the dirty air can easily flow to other rooms. Humidity trapped indoors can easily breed bacteria and make people susceptible to diseases.
As far as Feng Shui is concerned, the kitchen has some inherent flaws. This article teaches you how to arrange a good kitchen Feng Shui to maintain good health and prosperity. Areas that use a lot of water, such as kitchens and bathrooms, are considered unlucky rooms in the house, and the good or bad luck of their location often affects the fortunes of the family. In the process of washing and cooking food in the kitchen, a large amount of water is used, and water is a symbol of wealth, so it is not conducive to the accumulation of wealth. But on the other hand, kitchens and bathrooms have the function of suppressing evil spirits. Therefore, placing the kitchen in an insignificant or unfavorable location will be beneficial to the occupants. Adjust the location of the kitchen and the display of kitchen utensils to remove the negative factors and create a good kitchen feng shui.
1. What is a "lucky" kitchen?
The kitchen should be located in the south of the house, followed by the east or southeast.
There is a certain distance or separation between the kitchen and the next door to the master room and the toilet door.
The kitchen has enough light, preferably from the sun.
For air circulation in the kitchen, in addition to the range hood, an exhaust fan is also required, which can circulate the air and reduce the temperature in the kitchen.
Keep the kitchen dry and not humid.
The kitchen door entrance does not face the stove mouth.
There should be enough space and height on the stove, so as not to put too much pressure on the stove.
2. 16 unique tips for kitchen feng shui
The first step is the position. Feng shui teachers usually recommend placing the kitchen in the four evil directions of the parents' natal hexagram (see the introduction), which will help suppress the evil spirits of the evil directions. The yang energy generated by the fire can adjust the bad energy of the bad side and improve its feng shui. The kitchen should also be located in the back half of the home, as far away from the door as possible.
The second move is the five elements. The water vapor produced by the sink conflicts with the fire vapor of the gas stove. Therefore, the gas stove cannot be connected to the sink or refrigerator. The gas stove cannot be placed next to the sink. The stove should not be placed independently in the center of the kitchen, because too much fire in the center of the kitchen will lead to mismatch in the family.
The third move is the furnace mouth. The so-called stove mouth originally refers to the fuel inlet of the stove. For modern gas stoves, it refers to the gas inlet, which is located behind the ignition switch. The mouth of the stove should be as far away from the angry side of the host or hostess as possible.
The fourth tip is to put the mother first. If due to limitations in kitchen design, it is impossible to face the stove mouth in either direction of the parents, try to make the stove mouth face the mother's longevity side, which can enhance the harmony of family relationships.
The fifth tip is kitchen utensils and furnishings. Next, consider the display of kitchen utensils. If you use a microwave or electric pot, place it in one of your four lucky places. The sockets for electric cookers and microwave ovens should also be located on the Kyrgyz side. The same principle applies to toasters and simmering pans alike.
The sixth move is balance of yin and yang. As mentioned earlier, the kitchen is a situation where water and fire are in conflict, but if the two can be balanced to achieve an economical situation of water and fire, it can promote the harmony of kitchen feng shui. In Feng Shui, the kitchen is defined as a yin area, where food is stored rather than a place frequently used by the whole family. However, if you use a corner of the kitchen as a dining area, you can increase the yang energy of the kitchen and balance the yin and yang in the kitchen.
The seventh trick is the mirror. The use of mirrors in Feng Shui has both positive and negative effects. The correct arrangement of mirrors can promote or improve the feng shui situation, but if it is improperly arranged, it will cause great harm to the occupants.
One of the taboos about hanging mirrors in the kitchen is that the mirror cannot shine into the fire. If the mirror is hung on the wall behind the stove and shines on the food in the pot, the damage will be even greater. This is called "Tianmen Fire", which will cause fire or misfortune to the house. On the other hand, if a mirror is hung in the dining area to reflect the food on the table, it will double the wealth of the home.
The eighth move is hedging. The gas stove cannot face the kitchen door. If the gas stove faces the toilet, the toilet door must be closed. Also, it is best not to close the kitchen to the door.
The ninth source of trouble. The gas stove cannot be placed between the sink and the refrigerator. Fire between the two water sources will cause disaster.
The tenth trick is to have something to rely on. Cooking utensils should not be placed in front of or under the window, as this symbolizes the family's dependence on nothing.
The eleventh move avoids poisonous arrows. Cooking utensils cannot be placed under beams. If you cannot change the position of the furnace, you can hang two bamboo flutes on the beam with a red rope to resolve the evil spirits. Cooking utensils should also not hit the sharp corners of cupboards or tables, or face stairs.
The twelfth move is the furnace position. The gas stove should not be located in a corner of the kitchen so that the cook's back faces the kitchen entrance.
The thirteenth move is to avoid the northwest. If the gas stove is located in the northwest of the kitchen, it will suppress the parents' luck, so be careful.
For the fourteenth move, pay attention to the top. It is unlucky if the gas stove is located under the toilet on the upper floor. It is best to change the location of the gas stove. If it is impossible to change the position, you can install upward lighting to eliminate evil spirits. Gas stoves should also not be placed under water towers, because water will extinguish fire, which symbolizes the inability to gather wealth.
In the fifteenth move, the blade is not exposed. Various kitchen knives or fruit knives in the kitchen should not be hung on the wall or inserted into the knife holder. They should be put away in drawers. Garlic, onions, and peppers should also not be hung in the kitchen because these things will absorb Yin energy.
The 16th stroke brings wealth and luck. In order to attract wealth, the refrigerator should not be empty and the rice jar should be filled at all times, symbolizing that the family will have enough food and clothing. Put three money in a red envelope bag and put it into a rice vat, which has the effect of attracting wealth.
Ten taboos in kitchen Feng Shui
1. The kitchen door should not face the main door. The "Three Essentials of a Yangzhai" points out: "If you open the door and see the fire, you will waste a lot of money." This pattern will damage the health of the hostess, make it difficult to gather talents in the family, and cause repeated bad luck. If you encounter such a pattern, the only way to avoid it is to change the door.
2. The kitchen door should not face the bedroom door; smoke may easily make the occupants feel dizzy and irritable.
3. The kitchen door should not face the toilet door; as the kitchen is the source of food and drink for the whole family, it must be auspicious, and the toilet is an unclean place, and the kitchen represents fire and the toilet represents water. Water and fire are incompatible. It will lead to discord between husband and wife and unrest in the family.
4. The kitchen cannot be in the same door: In order to save space, some families allow the kitchen and toilet to enter and exit through one door, which makes the home unlucky. What's more, if you enter the kitchen first and then the toilet, it will be unlucky. The craving for food and drink is absolutely gone!
5. The floor of the kitchen should not be higher than the floors of the halls and rooms. This is to prevent the backflow of sewage. Secondly, due to the different priorities, the kitchen should not be higher than the halls and rooms. Again, starting from the kitchen When serving food in the hall, one should step up to the next level, otherwise there is a risk of losing one's wealth.
6. The balcony walkway should not face the stove: the long corridor will suppress the fire, and the owner will not gather wealth, and will easily suffer from diseases such as high blood pressure.
7. The kitchen stove should not be facing the refrigerator or sink; the refrigerator has become a place for storing and gathering wealth. Its element is water, and it is most afraid of fire attacks, which may cause health problems for the family.
8. The stove should not be placed under the beam; any place that is frequently accessed and operated should not be under pressure, especially as the stove is a platform for food preparation.
9. Do not open a window between the range hood and the stove, as it will be bad luck to leak money.
10. The stove should not have nothing to rely on: The stove owner should have something to rely on for his family health, marriage, and fame. The stove should not be empty behind him. It must be backed by a solid wall. Even if it is a glass wall, it is inappropriate.
11. There should not be beams above the kitchen. When it comes to Feng Shui, experienced people know that beams are the most troublesome, but the beams above the kitchen are the most likely to be ignored.
Basically, the beams bear the energy of the entire house, just like a huge cable filled with high-voltage electricity, which is very harmful to Feng Shui; if there are beams in the kitchen, it will destroy the aura of the entire room. If it happens to hit the stove, there will probably be problems with the meals you finish here.
Plant placement in the kitchen and dining room
1. The kitchen is located in the south, and placing foliage plants can help save money. The kitchen is located in the south and is subject to the strong red sun, and there will be a tendency to spend money unknowingly. Foliage value items can alleviate the solar energy, reduce the tendency to spend money frivolously, and help save money.
2. It is a good luck if the kitchen is located in the east. If it is in other directions, it can be placed on the table or near the refrigerator to help keep the body healthy.
3. For kitchens located in the West, placing golden flowers, daffodils and pansies by the window can not only block the evil odor of the setting sun, but also bring wealth.
4. When it is located in the north, placing pink and orange flowers can add vitality to the interior.
The lighting should be bright, and kitchen utensils, aprons, slippers, mats, etc. should be in warm colors
