Especially the kitchen cannot be changed randomly and the orientation cannot be mistaken. , otherwise it may have a negative impact on the owner's health or financial fortune. The following is a complete explanation of kitchen Feng Shui taboos for your reference. Complete explanation of kitchen Feng Shui taboos 1
1. Kitchen Feng Shui common sense:
1. If the kitchen is in the northwest of the house, it is the "Fire Burning Heaven Gate", and the northwest belongs to Qian; Qian is Heaven, if there is an open fire in the kitchen (even cooking without fire still has heat and the appearance of fire), it means "Fire Burning Tianmen". When applied to people, dryness represents the father of the family, that is, the head of the family. The male head of the family is affected by it. Ke, if you fail to handle your responsibilities as a father, how can you, as a mother, take care of yourself? You will definitely have to work harder and harder on everything at home.
2. If the kitchen is in the south of the home, which is already a place where fire is strong, the kitchen in this position will cause heat to increase and dryness to increase, which will easily affect the health of the family and easily lead to Critical illness, especially mothers who work long hours in the kitchen, has the greatest impact.
3. There are other reasons that have nothing to do with pure Feng Shui. For example, some friends put a lot of electrical appliances in the kitchen, which makes the electromagnetic waves in the kitchen extremely high, especially if they store some old appliances. I have used an electromagnetic wave detector to detect microwave ovens. When the microwave oven is operating, the electromagnetic waves it releases are extremely high. How can it be good for your health if you cook in this environment every day?
4. Feng shui attaches great importance to the front, especially the situation outside the house. If you see a building with a pointed roof outside the kitchen, you will see a fire-shaped front. If three greens (belonging to wood), four greens (belonging to wood) and nine purples (belonging to fire) are in this position, they will have the opportunity to activate the fire sign and affect the health of the family, especially the housewife, because she stays in the kitchen. The longest time.
5. Open kitchens and removing kitchen doors are taboos: both Feng Shui and fortune telling attach great importance to cold, heat, dampness and dryness. In Feng Shui, they are regarded as the flying astrolabe of the original situation. In conjunction with the Flying Star Disk, if there is a sign of fire and earth dryness, and it is triggered by the fire in the kitchen, it is easy to cause some critical illnesses. If the kitchen is open and the kitchen door is removed, the entire unit will become hot and dry. , making the whole family prone to physical problems; it would be better if it was not an open style, but the kitchen door was not installed.
2. The interior decoration of the kitchen:
1. The most important thing is the arrangement of the stove. The stove should not be facing the road or the door. direction, which can easily lead to quarrels among family members.
2. Secondly, the stove should not be close to the sink or the refrigerator. The water vapor produced by the sink and the coldness of the refrigerator will conflict with the heat of the gas stove. Water and fire will help each other if they are in their proper places, otherwise water and fire will easily create big waves when they intersect.
3. Furthermore, it is best to place the refrigerator and sink on one side of the stove. If there is a fire between the two water, disasters will continue to happen in the house.
4. Furthermore, if the kitchen window faces the west, you must pay attention to whether the west-slanting sunlight can shine directly on the stove when the sun goes down. If it can, it means that the fire is too strong and needs to be blocked. , so that direct sunlight cannot reach it.
5. Other kitchen utensils should not be placed in front of or under the window, as this will seem to indicate that the family is helpless. If the dining table is placed in the kitchen, it is best to place the food cabinet, sideboard, refrigerator, etc. close to the dining table. On the one hand, it can be easily accessed, and on the other hand, it can also serve as decoration. role. But under normal circumstances, do not place a mirror in the kitchen. If the mirror is hung on the wall behind the stove and shines on the food in the pot, the house will suffer from fire or misfortune. This is the so-called "Tianmen Fire". However, if the dining table is outside the kitchen, you may wish to place one on the surrounding wall to reflect the food on the table, which will double the wealth of the home. In order to attract wealth, you can also put more food in the refrigerator. The rice jar should not be empty, which symbolizes that the family has no worries about food and clothing. As for colors, warm colors should be the main color in the kitchen, which can also neutralize some of the yin energy and make the dining environment more friendly and harmonious.
3. How to arrange the kitchen:
1. Kitchens cannot be used in irregular houses, as this will affect the health of the family, which is the most important thing to avoid.
2. Secondly, the kitchen is a symbol of wealth and must not be opposite the door. The door is the entrance to the Qi, where family and friends come and go. If the door faces the kitchen, the wealth will be exposed and lead to financial constraints.
3. Third, it is best not to place the kitchen next to the master room. In Feng Shui, the kitchen is defined as a yin area. Being close to it for a long time can easily cause the family’s temper to become gloomy and their personality to change. If it is too deep, it will affect the stability of the home.
4. The kitchen is a good location in the home. The kitchen has the function of suppressing the evil qi from the bad side. The strong yang energy generated by the fire can adjust the bad qi from the bad side and play a role in reconciling yin and yang.
4. Taboos in kitchen Feng Shui layout
1. The gas stove (ie: gas stove) is not against the wall:
Many people like the island style In an open kitchen, the gas stove is even installed on the center island. If there is no gas stove against the wall, the oil fumes will fly around, causing poor indoor air.
2. The gas stove on the first floor is located on the drainage ditch:
Many residents on the first floor like to build a house at the back of the house, and put the kitchen on the built-in side. Although it can increase the space of the house, it often causes the gas stove to ballast into the drain.
3. The gas stove is located under the beam:
If the gas stove is under the beam, the cook will be weak and sick, suffer from stiff shoulders and headaches all year round.
4. There is a window between the range hood and the gas stove:
There is a window between the range hood and the gas stove. Strong outdoor wind will blow out the gas stove fire and cause gas Leakage can easily cause accidents.
5. Leaking faucets and sewer pipes:
Faucets are often not closed properly and water keeps dripping, which will cause unnecessary expenses in the home, money cannot be kept, and money continues to be lost.
6. Various tools and sundries are piled everywhere:
Pots, bowls, ladles, basins and other tools are placed everywhere, making it messy and giving people a headache. It is easy to transmit germs and make you sick easily if you eat it.
5. What are the taboos in kitchen Feng Shui?
(1) Avoid shining kitchen mirrors into the fire
There are pros and cons to the use of mirrors in kitchen Feng Shui. effect. The correct arrangement of mirrors can improve or enhance 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 they shine directly 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 "Tianmen Fire" pattern will cause fire or misfortune to the house in terms of residential Feng Shui customs. On the contrary, hanging a mirror in the dining area will reflect the food on the table, which will not only stimulate appetite but also increase the wealth of the home.
(2) The kitchen should not be located below the bathroom
If the stove is located below the toilet on the upper floor, you will hear the flushing sound of the toilet upstairs when cooking. , which will ruin the mood of the family and is very unlucky. Because the stove is a place for cooking food, and the toilet is a place that is exposed to filth, it is not appropriate to face each other up and down. If the gas stove is facing the toilet, the toilet door must be closed.
(3) Avoid using hollow ceilings in the kitchen
If you choose a hollow pattern ceiling during home decoration, it means that it cannot be cleaned. Because the oil fumes have penetrated into the hollow flowers, it is difficult to clean. However, flat ceilings do not have this problem. You can wipe them with a cloth or brush. Many people who have cleaned kitchen ceilings have this feeling: the cleaning effect of flat ceilings at the same time with the same cleaning materials is much better than that of hollow ceilings.
(4) The kitchen and bathroom should not go in and out from the same door
Because of the small area of ??some houses, the kitchen and toilet are accessed through one door. Whether you go through the kitchen to the toilet first, or It is not appropriate to go through the toilet to the kitchen first. Because the kitchen is a space for cooking food, and the toilet is a place for sewage discharge. If you want to go to the kitchen, you will bring in the stinky smell from the toilet; if the kitchen door is opposite, the stinky smell from the toilet will flow directly into the kitchen, and the food prepared by the most skilled chef will be unappetizing. If you live in this kind of house and the stove is directly opposite the bathroom, you must remember to keep the bathroom door closed at all times.
(5) The joints of kitchen floor tiles should not be too large.
The floor should be made of non-slip and thick material, and the joints should not be too large, otherwise it is easy to accumulate dirt and make cleaning difficult. Materials can be selected according to the personal preferences of the designer and owner. Worktops made of glazed tiles, artificial stone, stainless steel, ceramic tiles, marble and other materials are all good choices because they are easy to clean, flat and smooth, and have certain waterproof and anti-corrosion properties.
(6) Avoid the opposition of water and fire in the kitchen
The water vapor produced by the sink conflicts with the fire vapor on the stove. Therefore, the stove cannot be opposite the sink or refrigerator. The stove should not be next to the sink, nor should it be placed independently in the center of the kitchen, because the central location of the kitchen will be too hot and detrimental to family harmony. The goldfish bowl cannot be placed in the kitchen. The five elements of the goldfish bowl are water, and it is also a highly water-based item. Especially if it is facing the stove, it will cause a battle between water and fire, so the goldfish bowl cannot be placed in the kitchen.
(7) The kitchen should have a balance of yin and yang
The kitchen is a place where water and fire conflict. If yin and yang can be balanced and harmonious, it will be beneficial to the prosperity of the home. The kitchen is a yin area, where food is stored. Although it is not an area frequently used by the whole family, if you use a corner of the kitchen as a temporary dining area, you can increase the yang energy of the kitchen and balance the yin and yang in the kitchen.
(8) The kitchen stove should not be "facing away from the house"
The most important piece of furniture in the kitchen is the stove. Generally speaking, the direction of the stove cannot be opposite to that of the house. The orientation of the stove is the direction of the stove switch, and the orientation of the house generally refers to the direction of the door of the house.
What is "backward and reverse"? For example, if the door faces north and the stove faces south, south and north are opposite, which violates the taboo of "facing the house in the opposite direction".
(9) The opening of the kitchen door should be moderate
The opening of the door is an important part of the house. The opening of the door refers to the narrowest distance after the doorway is completed, that is, the narrowest distance after the door frame is completed. The clear width of many doorways is 0.7m to 0.8m. This clear width is most inappropriate for kitchen doors and must be adjusted. If conditions permit, you can consider widening the kitchen door to 0.805m~0.9m and 1.98m high.
(10) The kitchen door should not be opposite to the bathroom.
The kitchen is a place for supplementing nutrients for the human body and belongs to fire in the five elements; while the bathroom has a heavier Yin energy and is in the five elements. Being water, water and fire are incompatible. If the kitchen door is opposite to the bathroom door, the odor from the bathroom will rush into the kitchen and affect appetite. The confrontation between water and fire is also unfavorable from a Feng Shui perspective. A good solution is to strengthen the ventilation of the kitchen and bathroom, and try to keep them dry. The doors on both sides should also be closed frequently. If you hang a curtain, the effect will be better.
(11) The kitchen should be located in the east or southeast.
It is good luck that the kitchen is located in the east or southeast. Because the east is the direction of sunrise, and red represents the meaning of the color of the sun, it can create a warm feeling in the kitchen. The kitchen is originally a place for fireworks, which belongs to fire. The east is the Zhen Gua of Bagua, which belongs to Wood. The southeast is the Xun Gua of Bagua. If it is in other directions, you can place safflower on the refrigerator or other objects to resolve it.
(12). The kitchen ceiling should be of flat type.
The kitchen ceiling decoration should be of flat type. First, there is room for choice in color, and it can make your own. The kitchen has a unique charm and can give you a good mood; secondly, it is easy to clean, which is the most important. There will inevitably be a lot of oil fumes in the kitchen. Even if you cook less often, you will obviously find that the color of the kitchen becomes darker after a year or two. When you want to clean, the ceiling is a very important project, and almost 70 to 80% of the oil fumes will be on the ceiling. Taking all factors into consideration, flat-panel ceiling decoration should be used.
(13) The kitchen should not be located in the center of the house.
It is not suitable for Feng Shui to build a kitchen in the center of the house. Because frying food will produce a lot of oily smoke, if the kitchen is located in the center of the house, firstly, the oily smoke will be difficult to dissipate, and secondly, the oily smoke will spread into the living room or bedroom, which will be filled with a strong oily smoke smell, affecting healthy.
(14) "Water" should be avoided in the kitchen
Feng Shui believes that the "fire" qi of the stove fire is not in harmony with the damp and cool "water" qi. The so-called "water-fire" "Incompatible", too much water will interfere with the cooking stove and indirectly affect the appetite of the whole family. In fact, this principle is very simple. If the water vapor in the place where the fire is lit is too heavy, moisture will be generated, and the moisture will affect the burning of the fire.
(15) Avoid "wind" in the kitchen
Feng shui emphasizes "hiding wind and gathering Qi". In particular, the kitchen should avoid wind blowing, and the kitchen stove should be given priority. It is best not to place the stove directly opposite the door, and it is not advisable to open a window behind the stove. Otherwise, the fire in the stove will be weakened by the wind outside the door or window, or even blown out.
(16). The kitchen door should not be facing the main door.
The kitchen is where the wealth of the family lies, and the main door is the entrance to the Qi, where family and friends come and go. When the door is facing the kitchen door, everything in the kitchen will be visible at a glance, and the wealth will be exposed, which is detrimental to the family's wealth.

1. The kitchen should not be completely enclosed in the house:
At least one side of the kitchen should face an open space (such as a balcony, patio, backyard, etc.) , do not close it or place it in the center of the room.
This situation often occurs when a house is built afterwards. The kitchen was originally located at the back of the house, but after being built at the back, it becomes the middle part of the house. This not only hinders hygiene, but also affects family luck.
2. The kitchen cannot be located between bedrooms:
The kitchen must not be located between two bedrooms. Doing so will be detrimental to the people living in the bedrooms on both sides.
3. Avoid washing clothes in the kitchen:
Because the ancients regarded the kitchen as the place of the Kitchen God, which is very sacred. Washing unclean clothes there will affect luck.
4. If the fire at home is turned outwards, the family fortune will suffer:
The kitchen should not be built in front of the house, and it is most taboo to have the fire facing outwards, otherwise the family fortune will suffer.
After moving into a newly built house, if the hostess suddenly falls ill, becomes angry over trivial matters, has a tendency to become hysterical, or falls into an abnormal state of mind, this is not caused by physical or mental fatigue. . This may be because the kitchen is located in the north, or in the northeast or southwest of the ghost door (viewed from the center of the new house).
