This seat is usually the theme, not the owner's. Well, usually this seat is the seat of the host or hostess.

This seat faces the door. The one facing the door is usually the theme. This seat faces the door of this room.

Seats can also be distinguished according to the style of napkins. People can also distinguish the seats on the dining table from the way napkins are folded.

No matter what style the napkin is folded into, the seat corresponding to the tallest napkin must be the theme. No matter how the napkins are placed. , the top arrangement will always correspond to the main seat.

A small table for four or five people, opposite the door corresponding to the host's seat, is where the invited host and guests sit. Next to a small table, a table for four or five people, the seat directly opposite the host's seat, and the seat over there, with its back facing the door, are the seats of the main guests.

Of course, if the table is larger, such as 10 to 12, you can sit next to it because it is inconvenient for the host to talk to the guests, and the table is separated by the sea. In this case, they can sit next to each other, which is more convenient for the host to talk with the guests. But usually. This is a bigger table, which can seat 10 to 12 people.

So you can reach the food without standing up, because it is impolite to stand up and take the food. I can pick it up without standing up and reaching out, which is not appropriate at China's dinner table.
