Is the dining table facing the gate?
The dining table is used by family members for dinner, so it should be placed in a relatively quiet place to ensure that family members have a calm and happy mood when eating. First of all, we should avoid putting the dining table in front of the gate, which will easily make people in a hurry and lead to the leakage of vitality. If you must do this, you must also use the porch.
Residential feng shui pays attention to "turning around, avoiding going straight". If I do something wrong, it will lead to exhaustion and feng shui will be greatly affected. If the dining table and the door are in a straight line, you can see the family eating outside the door, which is absolutely inappropriate, so don't let the dining table face the door.
The shape of the dining table
China's traditional cosmology is a "round place", so most of the daily utensils are round and square, and the traditional dining table is a typical example. The traditional dining table is shaped like a full moon, which symbolizes the reunion and intimacy of a family. It is very popular and can set off a good atmosphere for eating, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As for the square dining table, the small one can only seat four people, which is called the Four Immortals Table. The big one can seat eight people, also called a square table. Because it symbolizes the gathering of the Eight Immortals, it is also auspicious, square and stable, symbolizing fairness and stability. Although there are horns on all sides, they are not sharp and lethal, so they are readily adopted.
Because the shape of the dining table will affect the atmosphere of eating, it is suitable to use wooden round table or square table when the family population is small, and oval or rectangular table when the population is large.
