How to divide the table position?

Taking the etiquette of Chinese dining seating as an example, it shows that traditional Chinese dining usually takes round table or square table as a template.

1, respect rights:

Usually, when the host invites you to dinner, you should arrange everyone's seats according to the angle of "right high and left low", which is generally considered to be the upper seat on the right and the lower seat on the left. The host should let the guests sit on the right, and then the host will sit on the left, because restaurants in China often serve food clockwise. In this case, when a dish is served, guests can taste delicious food first, and then the host can taste the food.

2. Use the middle seat as the upper seat:

When eating in a restaurant, if there are fewer people in the same company and everyone doesn't know how to sit, the middle seat is usually the upper seat, and then the others on both sides are the lower seats. For example, if you go out to eat with a leader, you can take the initiative to ask the boss to sit in the middle, and then it is more appropriate for subordinates to sit on both sides. Or go out for dinner with your family and let your elders sit in the middle.

3. Take the position near the main platform as the upper seat:

For example, we can attend a wedding reception or a birthday party. On this occasion, there is usually a concierge desk to hold the ceremony. Traditionally, we regard the seat near the concierge desk as an upper seat, which can highlight the status of the guest of honor and facilitate better viewing of the ceremony. The rest of the guests can sit in the back seat of the guest of honor. If there is no guest table at the scene, you can choose a seat backed by the main background wall as the upper seat.

4. Take the seat facing the main entrance as the upper seat:

If you eat in a private room, when you enter the private room, you will usually take the seat facing the main entrance as the first seat. Usually when we eat, we can also notice that the guest of honor is sitting facing the main entrance, which can also show respect for the guests; At the same time, when serving, guests will not be anxious because of serving, and the host will not lose the rules.

Select attention

First of all, it is necessary to determine the size of the dining area, whether it is a special restaurant, a living room or a study as a restaurant. First of all, we must determine the maximum area that the dining space can occupy.

If the house has a large area and an independent restaurant, you can choose a heavy dining table to match the space. If the restaurant area is limited, the number of diners is uncertain, and the number of diners may increase on holidays, you can choose the most common style in the market-telescopic dining table, that is, there is a movable board in the middle, which can be placed in the middle of the table or taken down when not in use. Don't buy an extra-large dining table for only three or four parties a year.

In a small family with limited space, a dining table can serve many roles, such as a writing desk and a mahjong table for entertainment. In a family without a separate restaurant, the first thing to consider is whether the dining table can satisfy all members of the family; Is it convenient to clean up? Therefore, the common foldable dining table on the market is more suitable for choice.
