High marks in kitchen feng shui,

Basically, your writing can be divided into two types of information, judging whether it is good or bad according to the orientation, nine palaces and eight diagrams, and judging whether it is good or bad according to the geomantic omen of eight houses.

Among them, judging from the gossip attribute of Jiugong itself, it falls with the middle palace and with the northwest. There is indeed a saying in ancient books that Zhonggong kitchen belongs to "heartburn". However, the kitchen is in the northwest, which is a bit far-fetched. Its theoretical basis is that the northwest is the dry place, the dry belongs to gold, the kitchen is on fire, and the fire can kill gold, which is considered to be burning Tianmen (dry also represents heaven and father). But generally, burning Tianmen means that nine purple's star falls into the northwest when it breaks down (it can only be judged by the calculation of flying stars in the sky, which ordinary people can't simply judge), and it is not a simple northwest kitchen that is bad for father.

Others, such as anger and five ghosts, belong to a set of geomantic methods of Bazhai. The eight directions except the middle palace are called: lying position, anger, prolonging life, heavenly doctor, six evil spirits, disaster, detachment and five ghosts. Some schools directly call the "heavenly doctor" a financial position and the "six evil spirits" a peach blossom position. Therefore, in your quotation, except for Zhonggong and Northwest, everything else refers to the eight directions of Bazhai.

How to get to the eight directions of Bazhai? Mainly depends on the direction of your gate. Note that when we say "direction" here, we do not mean "direction". Standing in the house, the vertical line facing the door is the door direction. As shown in the figure below, the doors of units A, B and C all face south. However, the orientation of the door of apartment A is due south, the orientation of the door of apartment B is southwest, and the orientation of the door of apartment C is due west, but their directions are due south. We judge the sitting orientation according to the "direction".

After determining the sitting direction, you can figure out what posture the doctor of heaven is and what posture the five ghosts are. However, the algorithm needs to have a certain understanding of gossip, so I don't intend to explain it in detail. Instead, the calculation results are directly represented by pictures, and the corresponding pictures are found according to the direction of the door. For example, if the gate faces northeast, you can see that evil is in the east, five ghosts are in the southeast, six evil spirits are in the south, and lying position is in the southwest ...

In addition, there are eight different schools with slightly different theories. However, it is generally believed that the four directions of heavenly medicine, crouching tiger, anger and prolonging life are four auspicious faces, and the four directions of five ghosts, destructive gods, evil spirits and six evils are four fierce faces-basically different schools have no objection to this. It's just that some schools think that six evils are not fierce, but they are not helpful (nor harmful) to health, but beneficial to popularity and peach blossom luck. There are also schools of thought that anger, prolonging life, breaking bad luck and evil belong to the equal position, but anger and prolonging life are just a little luck in the equal position, while breaking bad luck and evil are slightly fierce in the equal position, while the heavenly doctor, crouching tiger and six evil spirits belong to the positive position, and the five ghosts belong to the fierce position. The statement is slightly different, but generally it is rarely considered that squatting is a fierce posture.

There are three most important places in a villa: door, room and stove, that is, door, master bedroom and kitchen of the whole house. Every family must have an auspicious position and a fierce position, so try to let these three places fall on the auspicious position. No matter what feng shui method or genre, there is basically no difference.

As for those who think that the kitchen must face south and the toilet must face northeast, that's completely nonsense. The position of each house needs to be calculated. If you simply think that going south is good, you don't need a feng shui master, and anyone can live together. Houses whose kitchens are not due south can be described as everywhere. Are they all bad? ! Eight-house method is a simple calculation method, but in fact, many geomancers do not agree with it. For example, the method of flying stars in the sky is more complicated. What's more, just saying a specific direction or orientation, there will be no such statement in Feng Shui.
