Round table culture

After coming back from her family last time, Pippi clamored to change the dining table at home. I asked her, "Why?" She said I needed a round table to sit down. Now that I'm grown up, look at Pan Tianbang's home (mine). It's round and I can sit anywhere. So I don't like this square table.

After hearing what she said, I think what she said is really reasonable. At present, most restaurants are connected to the living room. In order to save space, most families choose square tables. This has also led to the fact that small families rarely have the opportunity to tolerate outsiders. In the past, when we invited people to dinner, we often said, "Come on, come on, isn't it just paying more for chopsticks?" On the other hand, the square table is different. Adding one person means eating alone and putting it in the corner of the table makes people feel particularly uncomfortable. I think it makes sense for the ancients to have this design.

It seems that children are the closest to the truth! We always think that children don't know anything, and we are too self-righteous. What do you think is the difference between the square table and the original table? Only children are naive and closest to the sky, so they are close to reality.
