There are numerous theories explaining the significance and origins of the Lo Ban measurements. However, regardless of the theory, this measuring tool is commonly used in architectural design and geomancy practices.
Typically used for measuring houses, people use a 43cm-long ruler divided into 8 sections: Wealth, Health, Separation, Righteousness, Relationship, Life, Harm, and Root. The favorable sections are marked in red.
When applying the Lo Ban measurements to assess objects like furniture or tombs, a 390mm-long ruler divided into 10 sections is used: Stability, Harm, Prosperity, Constraint, Righteousness, Relationship, Offspring, Prosperity, Affliction, and Wealth. Consisting of 6 favorable sections and 4 unfavorable ones, they are also distinguished by red and black markings.
In addition, there's another ruler measuring 530mm in length, divided into 8 equal sections: Nobleman, Danger, Heavenly Talent, Divine Talent, Human Fortune, Solitude, Celestial Rogue, and General.

With these symbols, one can easily measure door sizes corresponding to favorable sections. When measuring houses, if you want to ensure accuracy, you can use both types of rulers, 520mm and 430mm.
Application in Measuring Kitchen Cabinet Sizes:
For the height of your kitchen, you should neither make it too high nor too low. It depends on the height of the main cook and other family members to choose a size that is suitable. Typically, the height from the floor to the kitchen shelf should be between 89cm and 91cm.
For the height of kitchen cabinets, it's best to choose within the range of 182cm to 185.2cm.
The most ideal distance from the kitchen shelf to the bottom of the cabinet is between 62cm and 65cm.
The width of the kitchen shelf should be between 48 and 50cm. If you prefer a wider shelf, you can choose between 55 and 62cm.
Additionally, it's advisable to design the kitchen space in U, I, or L shapes. This allows for space optimization while providing comfort and convenience during usage.
