How is China's seating arrangement?

On the dining table, right in front of the main entrance is the main seat, which is revered.

1. the position of "main escort": the main escort is the first rank of the party who treats guests, that is, the person who treats guests in the highest position or the most distinguished person who accompanies wine. The position is in the front of the front door. The main function is basically the owner of the manor, grasping the time of this banquet and the degree of drinking.

2. the position of "deputy escort": the deputy escort is the second in line of the guest, and the second distinguished person among the guests. The position is opposite to the main escort, that is, back to the door. Traditionally, this position should be taken by the person who pays the bill.

However, with the prevalence of corruption in entertaining guests in recent years, under normal circumstances, the guests are rushing out, so in fact, it is not necessary for the second-ranked guests to personally pay for such a small matter, so this position is more about driving guests to drink.
