Why did people in ancient China eat with square tables? Now many families and hotels use round tables.

China people pay attention to the harmony between heaven and earth, which is caused by traditional culture. The round table in the hotel is to seat more people, because the circle is the most space-efficient. You should pay attention. In fact, in ancient China, round tables were also used for dining on important occasions, such as bureaucratic family gatherings. Usually, the dot facing the door is where the highest-ranking person sits, and others follow the circle according to their status.

China was a feudal dynasty in ancient times, and the concept of hierarchy was deeply rooted in people's hearts. The square table can be divided into up, down, left and right, southeast and northwest, so we can distinguish between the chief seat, the second seat, the side seat and the partial seat, and distinguish between the young and the old, the seniority and even the status and identity.

Although the round table has different positioning, the people invited are all balanced. For example, the "round table" refers to an equal and conversational consultation meeting. This is a meeting where participants sit around a round table. In the practice of international conferences, the seats of the president and representatives of all countries are equal, which can avoid the contradiction that some representatives are in the front, middle and the other are in the back and side, and better reflect the principle of equality and the spirit of consultation among countries.

The "round table" has no edges and corners, but it cuts off the high and low between people (just like the round table is still used in international conferences now); The "round table" has no language, but it expresses everyone's desire for equality. The "round table" has no weapons, but it contains the highest principles of justice in the world. The "round table" has no decorations, but it combines the beauty of human reason and the light of the soul.

In addition, in terms of space, the round table has a larger space and can accommodate more people.
