Altar for Kitchen GOD

[user283850]

Dear cecil and robert,
Can you explain the story behind Kitchen God.
Why his altar is kept in kitchen since altars
are supposed to be kept at clean and scared place and kitchen is a place where cooking
and cleaning of pots and pans takes place.

Again, this is a Chinese religious belief. For the Chinese, there are many "gods" or more appropriate "deities or fairies".
You see in the Chinese due to many novels etc, Chinese believe in the various deities or fairies are originally some person who in his life time done something significantly great, thus, in future generations the Chinese began to worship them as a sort of symbol.
Kitchen god is one of them. However, I have not really tell you that story, as I have not read on it, maybe you can look it up in the library.
But in terms of Feng Shui, the kitchen is often regarded as an important place also, due to the fact that it represents the creation of the food which feeds the family.
The most important thing you need to know related to stove or sink, which you can do a search in this forum for a detailed explanation by Cecil in previous messages.
Warmest Regards
