What shape is the best for your dining table?
In Feng Shui, the shape of the dining table also has very important significance. Because the traditional Chinese concept of the universe is "the sky is round and the earth is round", most of the daily utensils are round and square. The traditional dining table is like this, either round or square. The traditional dining table is shaped like a full moon, symbolizing the harmony and intimacy of a family of old and young; it can also gather people and set off the atmosphere of eating well. Therefore, it is best for the dining table to be round or oval, and sharp corners should be avoided as much as possible. If it is a round or oval dining table, it can symbolize the prosperity and unity of the family business.
There are large and small square dining tables. The small one can only seat 4 people and is called the Four Immortals table; the large one can accommodate 8 people, so it is also called the Eight Immortals table. It symbolizes the gathering of the Eight Immortals and is very auspicious. . The square dining table is square and stable, symbolizing the fairness and stability of the family. Although it has corners on all four sides, it is not lethal because it is not sharp, so people are happy to use it.
Generally speaking, wooden round tables or square tables are suitable for families with a small population, while oval or rectangular tables are suitable for larger families.
In addition, it is most taboo to have sharp corners on the dining table, and the smaller the angle of the sharp corners, the sharper and more lethal they will be. This is a big taboo in Feng Shui. A triangular dining table can also cause discord in the family and affect the physical and mental health of the family, while a diamond-shaped dining table can lead to leakage of money. If for some reason you must use a dining table of these shapes, avoid sitting at the corner of the table to avoid being hit by evil spirits. There are also some wavy water-shaped dining tables, which can be used reluctantly because they have no sharp corners. But round and oval shapes are always the best for dining tables.
