Chapter 11 Door, Window, and Bathroom: Choose Wisely Where Yang Combines with Shagna Qi (4)
The floor of the kitchen is low: it means rising step by step, otherwise it has the feeling of returning wealth and luck
Feng Shui believes that residential rooms are divided into primary and secondary rooms, and the kitchen belongs to the secondary room, so it should be designed lower than the living room and other rooms.In this way, from the kitchen to other rooms, it means step by step, otherwise there will be a feeling of losing money and going to luck.From a hygienic point of view, the kitchen is lower than other rooms, which can effectively prevent sewage from flowing back.

Kitchen floors and walls: Try to use materials that are easy to clean
The kitchen is different from other rooms. It is a place dedicated to making food, so it is often filled with oily smoke and oil stains.If it is not cleaned in time, the kitchen will become a place where dirt is hidden.Therefore, the walls of the kitchen should be pasted with white and other light-toned tiles, so that it is easy to see where the oil stains are located, and second, it is easy to clean.The kitchen floor will not only be splashed with oil stains, but also may have many water stains, which will easily cause people to slip and fall, so non-slip floor tiles should be laid on the kitchen floor.But uneven stone should not be used as the floor, otherwise it will not be easy to clean.In addition, a water outlet should be set on the kitchen floor. It is best to carry out waterproof treatment on the whole floor before decorating the kitchen.

Kitchen lighting: The kitchen has sufficient light, which helps to improve wealth
Whether it is from a feng shui or a practical point of view, the kitchen should be kept bright, which requires sufficient light in the kitchen.If the kitchen does not have enough natural light due to improper construction, it is necessary to add lighting to increase the brightness of the kitchen.Generally speaking, when setting up the lighting of the kitchen, pay attention to the following points:
1. Adjustable

Kitchen lighting should be set to be adjustable so that it can be adjusted when it feels dim or dazzling to make people feel comfortable in the kitchen.

2. Multi-level

Generally speaking, the lighting of the kitchen should not only install individual lighting facilities, but should install a multi-level lighting system composed of different lamps and light sources.For example, people should place lamps on the ceiling of the kitchen to facilitate lighting while cooking.

The color of the kitchen: the color of the kitchen should be white
Whether it is from the perspective of feng shui, hygiene, or psychological impact, the color of the kitchen should be white.

From a hygienic point of view, white indicates good hygiene, and a spotless kitchen makes people feel safe about food.

From the perspective of psychological impact, the color of the kitchen is closely related to people's appetite.Color can arouse people's emotions subconsciously.Whatever emotion is aroused during a meal can suppress appetite and interfere with eating.White is the simplest of all colors and helps to calm the mood.Whether it is serving dishes or serving meals, when people walk into the kitchen, the white walls around the kitchen can gradually calm people's excited emotions, divert people's attention to the food, and thus generate appetite.

In addition to choosing white as the color of the kitchen, you can also choose other colors according to local conditions.

If the kitchen space is small, it is advisable to choose a color with high brightness and light tone, which can make people feel comfortable and spacious.Conversely, for a spacious kitchen, you can choose a darker color for treatment to remove the spaciousness of the kitchen.

The kitchen faces north, so you can choose warmer colors to increase the sense of temperature in the room and increase your appetite.

In order to avoid the heat caused by direct sunlight in summer, the southeast-facing kitchen can be decorated with cool colors as much as possible, which will not only appear spacious and comfortable, but also achieve the effect of cooling and cooling.

Stove orientation: If the orientation of the stove is incorrect, it will lead to loss of money

To install the stove, you should choose an auspicious position. When setting up the stove, you should also pay attention to avoid some places where it is not easy to install the stove.

1. Do not place under the beam
As a place for cooking food, the stove should not be placed under the beam, otherwise it will not only feel oppressed, but also the heat emitted by the stove will go straight to the beam, indicating heat on the head and causing uneasiness for the whole family.

2. Do not place under the water pipe
The stove should not be located under the water pipe, otherwise the water and fire will clash, which will affect the fortune.

3. Do not place it under the toilet

The stove should not be located under the bathroom on the upper floor, as the dirty gas in the bathroom will affect the stove.

4. Don’t leave the stovetop alone
When placing the stove, there must be a solid wall behind it, and it cannot be placed on a glass wall or other unsupported places.Otherwise, there will be nothing to rely on behind the stove, which will affect the health, marriage and fame of the house owner.

5. Don’t place it in the center of the kitchen
The stove is not suitable to be set in the center of the kitchen, otherwise it will lead to excessive fire in the center of the kitchen, which will affect the emotions of the family and lead to family disharmony.

In addition, do not open a window between the range hood and the stove, otherwise money will be lost.

The orientation of the stove: represents the wealth, food and health of the occupants
When setting up the stove, try to find the direction of the signs, because the kitchen represents the wealth, food and health of the occupants, and its position will affect the health and development of the family.In general, it is auspicious to set it in the south, east, and north directions.

Feng Shui Analysis of Stove Position
The east is good for gathering wealth, avoiding theft and fire, preventing family members from wasting, and helping to form an atmosphere of diligence and thrift.

The south has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, not only can make the family healthy and live long, but also can make the children in the family grow up strong and full of energy.

The southeast prevents the scourge.

In the north, avoid floods, fires and other accidents, as well as lawsuits and disputes, to ensure family safety.

The orientation of the stove: Do not be opposite to the orientation of the house

Regarding the orientation of the stove, avoid facing the door when cooking.This is because in Feng Shui, the orientation of traditional stoves is towards the entrance of the firewood, while the orientation of modern stoves is towards the switch of the stove.As far as the kitchen is concerned, the diagonal position of the kitchen door is the direction of gas gathering. Installing the stove here can make the stove face to the door obliquely, which will not conflict with the door, but also ignite the gas coming in from the door. Good for house transportation.

The specific installation of the stove should also be determined according to the situation of the entire house.The direction of the stove should not be opposite to the direction of the house. This is the opposite of the house, which will easily lead to gossip, family disagreements, and money outflow.If it is impossible to face any auspicious side of the house owner due to the layout of the kitchen, then you can face the stove to the prolonging side of the "hostess" to promote family harmony.

The north side belongs to water. In order to prevent water and fire from restraining each other, the stove should not be set to face south to north, nor should it face the air outlets such as doors and windows, otherwise it will cause the fire to flow backwards and cause a fire.

The best orientation of the stove: Combining house life and personal fortune to determine the orientation of the stove

To find the best orientation of the stove for the family or individual, people should combine the stove with the fate of the house or personal fortune, that is, use the good and bad directions of the four houses and the four lives to determine the orientation of the stove.

The Bazhai school believes that the arrogance of the stove can suppress evil spirits, so the stove should sit in the direction of the evil, so as to suppress the evil spirit and absorb the auspicious energy.According to the characteristics of the stove sitting on the ominous side, the forbidden directions of the East Si House and the East Si Ming are exactly the suitable directions for the West Si House and the West Si Ming.

Cato's Complete Works of Feng Shui

Stove and sink: it is advisable to place the stove and sink vertically
According to the five elements of feng shui, stoves belong to fire, so items belonging to water should be avoided to avoid conflicts between water and fire, which will damage the fortune of the homeowner.In the kitchen, the most obvious item belonging to water is the sink. Therefore, it is advisable to place the stove and the sink vertically. If they are placed in a row, at least a buffer zone for cutting vegetables should be left in the middle.If a buffer zone cannot be set, at least a potted plant should be placed to ease it.In particular, it should be noted that the stove cannot be placed between the sink and the refrigerator, otherwise the double water will catch fire, which may lead to continuous disasters.

In addition, electrical appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines are also water, and should not be placed next to the stove.The attributes of the refrigerator are more complicated. It has both the attribute of water and the attribute of gold, so the stove should be kept at least 30 cm away from it.

Stove-to-bed implantation: May lead to eye disease
If the stove is facing the bed, it may cause eye diseases.Stove belongs to fire among the five elements, and its nature is dry and hot, which is dry fire; the five elements of eyes also belong to fire, and the addition of the two is like adding fuel to the fire, making the eyes sick due to excessive fire.Even if there is a wall between the stove and the bed, if the stove is behind the wall against the head of the bed, there will be the same Feng Shui disadvantages, and the bed should be moved away from the stove as soon as possible.

The stove is placed on the balcony: It will seriously affect the luck of the family and lead to financial leakage

Due to the limited housing area, some families will make full use of the balcony and place the stove on the balcony to expand the living area, which will seriously affect the family's luck, and lead to financial leakage and unstable fortune.Therefore, it is best not to place a stove on the balcony. If you must place a stove, you need to place 36 ancient coins around the balcony to stabilize the aura.

Place the stove in an auspicious side: yearn for fire, which will help improve the fortune of the homeowner

The kitchen is a place of fire, so it is advisable to place the fire stove in the auspicious place of the kitchen, yearning for fire, which will help improve the luck of the homeowner.Range hoods, stoves, microwave ovens, rice cookers, pressure cookers, toasters, etc. should all be arranged in the four auspicious positions, and even the corresponding electrical outlets should be located in auspicious positions.Taking the rice cooker as an example, the direction of the rice cooker is based on the direction of the switch.

Feng Shui Analysis of Rice Cooker Switch Orientation
Facing north means that fire faces water, which is an auspicious omen for the prosperity of water and fire, which is good for the safety of the family.

Facing the northeast is fire facing the earth, and the earth and fire are born together, which is a sign of good luck.

Facing east or southeast is a sign that the fire is facing the wood, which is a good omen for the wood fire to be bright, and there will be noble people to help.

Facing the south is the fire facing the fire. Although the anger is too strong, it is also fueling the anger, which is considered Xiaoji.

Facing southwest is a fire-prosperous disease symbol, which can easily cause family members to get sick.

Facing west or northwest means that fire is facing gold, and fire can overcome gold, causing family luck to repeat, which is a minor evil.

Hanging cabinet: it is best not to be located above the stove, so as not to affect the health of the housewife
Whether it is from the perspective of Feng Shui or from the perspective of personal safety, it is best not to place the hanging cabinet above the stove.Because when the housewife cooks, the cabinet is like a beam pressing on the head of the housewife, which will affect the health of the housewife.It is not suitable for the cabinet to be too close to the stove, otherwise the oily fume may not be effectively dispersed, and the oily fume will drill into the cabinet from the gap to form oil stains, which is not only harmful to health, but also affects the appearance.There is preferably a distance of 80-100 cm between the cabinet and the stove.

Installing a mirror in the kitchen: increases the fire in the kitchen, which may lead to fire or misfortune

With the wide application of glass products in modern home decoration, many people like to use glass to decorate their living rooms.At the same time, in order to better enhance the brightness of the kitchen, some people choose to install mirrors in the kitchen to visually change the narrow and dark impression.However, Feng Shui believes that installing mirrors in the kitchen is a taboo in Feng Shui.

It is taboo in Feng Shui to reflect the mirror on the stove, especially when the mirror is installed behind the stove.In terms of Feng Shui, this pattern is called "Tianmen Fire", which greatly increases the fire in the kitchen, and it is easy to cause fire or misfortune.

Under normal circumstances, the home is the hostess of the kitchen, so the stove also represents the hostess of the home.If the mirror shines on the stove, it will make the hostess grumpy, and the reflection of the mirror will make two stoves appear in the kitchen, which means that there will be two hostesses in this home, which may imply that the husband is having an affair.

Drainage pipe network: Do not allow sewage to flow around
As the saying goes, "disease enters through the mouth". As the place where every household cooks food, the kitchen is especially required to be clean, and sewage should not be allowed to flow around.In addition, the kitchen belongs to fire, and Feng Shui says that fire and water are incompatible, so the layout of the drainage pipe network in the kitchen is particularly important.When laying out the drainage pipe network, make sure that the sewage is discharged from the front to the back.In particular, it is taboo to let the sewage from the bathroom flow through the bottom of the kitchen, let alone set up a stove above the sewer.

The kitchen and the bathroom come in and out through the same door: leading to incompatibility between water and fire, causing disharmony in the relationship between husband and wife at home
As the source of food for the whole family, the kitchen needs to absorb a lot of auspicious energy.The bathroom is the filthy place of the house, and it will emit an ominous atmosphere.Moreover, the kitchen is a place of fire, while the bathroom is a place of water, so using the same door to enter and exit the two will lead to incompatibility between water and fire, and cause disharmony in the relationship between husband and wife at home.In addition, from a hygienic point of view, the bathroom is close to the kitchen, which is also likely to cause various bacteria and virus pollution, which will damage people's health.

The kitchen and the bathroom should be separated as far as possible, otherwise the filthy gas from the bathroom will rush to the kitchen, and of course money will not be kept.At this time, you can set up an L-shaped screen to export the dirty air, or hang a long curtain on the door of the toilet, and place a group of five emperor coins on the threshold of the toilet for defusing it.It should be noted that the length of the curtain should exceed the height of the gas stove and the height of the toilet. The material of the curtain should be invisible. Do not choose lace or bead curtains.

In addition, even if the bathroom is temporarily unavailable, you can't take off your clothes and wipe your body in the kitchen. This is disrespectful to the Kitchen God and will affect your wealth.

The kitchen faces the balcony: Difficult to gather wealth at home and affect the unity and harmony of the family

If the kitchen is facing the balcony, it will form a "piercing heart" in Feng Shui, which will not only make it difficult to gather wealth in the family, but also cause financial loss, and seriously affect the unity and harmony of the family.

In order to resolve this "through-the-heart" pattern, you can put potted plants between the balcony and the kitchen, or make a flower stand full of vines, which is both beautiful and can separate the two spaces.For balconies with floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, try to close the curtains.

On the premise of not affecting the movement, it is also a feasible solution to set up cabinets and screens between the kitchen and the balcony.
