It is also the positive energy (Khi) that ward off the dark energy (sickness, evil spirits, bad luck). The stove is the center of the family because it is responsible for cooking up the foods that feed and grow (physically and emotionally) the family and its members and keep the relationships warm.
The sink, if directly opposing the stove, possibly can put out the fire that keep the family healthy, properous and living in harmony.[/quote]
Jimmy, I noticed that nice houses in Asia have kitchens outside the house. A breezeway separates the kitchen from the dining room. The food is prepared in the kitchen and that keeps the smell away from the main house. The houses have Americans style kitchens just for drinks (like a large wet bar area).
So if you have those big Viking stove thing in an open kitchen in the middle of the house, is that bad?
Is it a good or bad thing to have the kitchen the central focal point the house?[/quote]
This is more for practical reasons than anything else. Chinese cooking stinks up the entire house. Best to do it outside. That, or you buy an industrial sized range hood, like the ones made by San Yang Pai Sorry, most of you won’t get it. Chinese people will know.
These things sound like a jet engine when they startup.http://www.sanyangpai.com/RangeHoods.asp?CatRangeHoodID=1

April 1, 2010 at 9:24 PM #534353edna_modeParticipantOK, feng shui aside, why are so many kitchens designed with such poor layout? they put the stove, sink and fridge in a line maximizing how many steps you have to take to do anything. some put the stove, dishwasher and fridge in such a way you can’t open more than one (you try putting leftovers away while another person does the dishes); others put a fridge AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS to the basement (try catching that round object that has spoinged out of the veggie drawer); others put the dishwasher so that it blocks the one path OUT of the kitchen.
and don’t even get me started on what kind of sadistic designer thinks it was ever ok to put the laundry FAR AWAY from where all the laundry is generated, i.e. the bedrooms and bathrooms. that is changing, but it really doesn’t jibe with the way people live.
and how the heck do handicapped people find anywhere to live?
