The position facing the door is the seat of the main guard, and the auxiliary guard is the opposite position facing the door. There is a seat on the right hand side of the main escort, commonly known as "big guest", two seats on the left hand side, three seats on the right hand side of the assistant escort and four seats on the left hand side. The host will arrange the guest's position according to the guest's identity. Except for these specific positions, other guests can choose their own seats.

Table manners:

The problem of catering etiquette has a long history. According to the literature, at least in the Zhou Dynasty, the catering etiquette had formed a fairly perfect system, especially praised by Confucius in the ceremony of offering wine to Lu, which became an important aspect of showing the face of a big country, a state of etiquette and a place of civilization in successive dynasties. As a tradition of Han nationality, ancient banquet etiquette has its own set of procedures: the host is invited to meet the guests temporarily outside the door. When the guests arrive, they greet each other, introduce them to the living room and provide refreshments.
