Which seat is it?

"Dam mat" is a unique traditional folk feast in rural areas of Sichuan and Chongqing. During weddings, funerals, and Chinese New Year holidays, there will be seats, ranging from a few tables to dozens of tables, to entertain relatives and friends in rural areas. The scene is grand. Banquets are usually arranged on the dam of the house, so they are called "bazi seats" [1] The most popular dishes on Bashang summer sleeping mat are "Jiumen Bowl": soft fried steamed pork, steamed ribs, steamed beef with flour, steamed turtle, steamed mud chicken, steamed mud duck, steamed elbow, sand meat and salted water boiled in white.

Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan are all plateau hills, and it is rare to have a flat open space. To repair or build a house, you have to get a whole flat land called a dam or a courtyard dam. Earth dam can be used as a drying dam for drying grain if the ridge is paved with slate or concrete. When there are many guests, a few or dozens of tables will be set up for convenience and excitement. When the master can't sit down, we will pull up the extra or borrowed tables and put them in the dam.
