Why do Nanjing people taboo "turtle seats"?

"Turtle seat" refers to the situation that when six people dine, the seating order is set to put two chairs on opposite sides of a set of square tables and one chair on the other sides. Generally, people in Nanjing are afraid of "eight kings".

The key to prevent "turtle table" is to ensure that the number of chairs placed opposite the square table is not equal. If you use a round table, there will be no "turtle table" problem. With the great progress of society, people's ideas are constantly updated, and now most people are no longer taboo about "turtle banquet".
