Dear Anon,

1. Thank you for bring up such an interesting question.

2. To help everyone understand better, one of this options can be related to a particular Chinese `custom'.

3. Before we go into this question, it is interesting to understand this...

3.1 When the communist took over China, Feng Shui practises were suppressed in that country. Many Chinese fled to two major countries i.e. Taiwan and Hong Kong. (Many more fled to the Far East).

3.2 But it is interesting to note here is that the majority that fled to Taiwan are the Hokkiens from Fukien province.

3.3 While those that fled to Hong Kong are from Canton, the Cantonese.

4. Since, Hong Kong became a British colony, where English is an important language, many of today's `Western' Feng Shui are dominated by Cantonese or Hong Kong Masters. Who most probably are cantonese.

5. Even in Singapore, many Cantonese like to place a mirror at their dinning table. Here, they hope that the food in the dinning area can be of abundance or that the mirror bounce back twice the amount of food.

6. If one can draw a parallel, many FS practitioners who either studied under such Cantonese practitioners would also conclude that placing a mirror at the kitchen would also symbolise abundance of both food and fire.

7. Therefore, in my opinion, it is more of a belief than anything else.

8. On a commonsense approach to Feng Shui, it is NOT PRACTICAL to place a mirror in the kitchen. Since the kitchen can be quite oily the mirror can easily be coated with the oil.

Under Para 8, I personally believe, that it is really not worth placing a mirror in the kitchen. And a mirror so close to the stove may also crack especially given the Chinese way of cooking with high heat and wok.

What can be worse...a cracked mirror (which many of us feels that it is bad luck).

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
