Seats at the party

The old-fashioned square table seats for family banquets are usually four benches for eight people:

Sitting north to south is the largest;

Then it is east, west and south in turn;

Each stool is divided into different sizes. The seat on the left of the north stool, that is, the seat near the east stool, is the main guest, and the seat on the right is the main guest. Seats near the east and west sides (north) are larger than those near the south; The two seats in the south are regardless of size.

The big round table seats in hotel boxes generally have eight to twelve seats:

The two innermost seats facing the door are the host and the guest. The guest sits on the left and the host sits on the right.

Other seats are the same as those for family dinner.
