Kitchens have always been the focus of attention, but the stove has never been considered. Today, Huayi Fortune-telling Network will take you to understand the various taboos about the placement of kitchen stoves.

Taboos about the Placement of Kitchen Stoves

One: The location of the stove has its own rules; don't underestimate it.

The best position for the stove is to be placed close to the wall.

1. The stove should not be placed with an open space behind it. It is better for the stove to be against a wall, not in an open area. If there is transparent glass behind it, it is also not auspicious, because as ancient books say, "Any stove should avoid being illuminated by window light, which leads to misfortune."

2. The stove should not face the bedroom door.

3. It should not be too close to the bedroom: the stove produces heat and oil smoke from cooking can be harmful to human health. Therefore, it is not auspicious for the stove to face the main door of the house, especially the bedroom.

4. The stove should not be placed over a water pipe. The stove belongs to fire, while water pipes are for drainage. Fire and water are incompatible, so they should not be close to each other. If the stove is placed directly over a water pipe, it is inauspicious.

5. The stove should not be close to the sink.

6. Do not place mirrors in the kitchen.

Mirrors are not to be placed randomly in the home. It's best not to put them in the kitchen, especially not behind the stove, as mirrors reflecting the fire can be problematic. Smooth glass can also be considered half a mirror. In feng shui, this can cause instability in the house and bring negative energy or bad luck.

Two: The direction of the stove relates to feng shui; the placement has its own rules.

Seat in the auspicious direction, facing the auspicious direction

If the stove is placed in the auspicious area of the house, and the button faces the auspicious direction of the house; if the stove is placed in the auspicious area of the person's birth year, and the button faces the auspicious direction of the person's birth year (excluding cases where the stove is in the auspicious area of the house and faces the auspicious direction of the person, or the stove is in the auspicious area of the person and faces the auspicious direction of the house), this is called "seat in the auspicious direction, facing the auspicious direction," which is considered "neither auspicious nor inauspicious" in the Eight House Feng Shui theory.

Seat in the inauspicious direction, facing the inauspicious direction

If the stove is placed in the inauspicious area of the house, and the button faces the inauspicious direction of the house; if the stove is placed in the inauspicious area of the person's birth year, and the button faces the inauspicious direction of the person's birth year (excluding cases where the stove is in the inauspicious area of the house and faces the inauspicious direction of the person, or the stove is in the inauspicious area of the person and faces the inauspicious direction of the house), this is called "seat in the inauspicious direction, facing the inauspicious direction," which is also considered "neither auspicious nor inauspicious" in the Eight House Feng Shui theory.

Ten Taboos About the Placement of Kitchen Stoves

1. The direction of the stove should be based on the master's fortune elements; if it is a forbidden element, it may be harmful to the master's health.

2. The stove should not face the bedroom door. The fire energy will create a negative effect, which may harm the family's health.

3. The stove should not face the kitchen door. A stove facing the kitchen door may lead to family disharmony, irritability, and financial loss.

4. The stove should not be placed in the center of the kitchen. If placed in the center, it has no support on all sides, which may cause instability in the family and mental pressure, indicating potential financial loss.

5. The stove should not be placed without support behind it. The stove should be placed against the wall, giving the master a sense of security when cooking, representing family stability and health benefits.

6. The stove should not be near water. If it is close to a faucet, water and fire may interfere, creating danger. It should also not be close to the refrigerator, as the stove's heat and the refrigerator's coldness may clash, causing energy waste. For rural areas with water tanks, the stove should not be placed next to or directly facing the water tank, as water and fire are incompatible, which may negatively affect the house's fortune.

7. The stove should not directly face the altar. Facing the altar with the stove is disrespectful to the gods and may bring trouble and misfortune to the household.

8. The height of the stove has its own rules. Too high makes it difficult to cook, and too low makes operation difficult. A height of 85–95 cm is ideal.

9. The stove should not be placed under a window. Dust and sand from outside can make it unhygienic, and wind may blow out the flame, causing disasters.

10. The stove should not be placed with the back against the toilet. Water and fire may clash, and the toilet may attract insects and carry impurities and bacteria.
