The origin of square table and the arrangement of seats

First, the origin of the square table:

The origin of the Eight Immortals dining table is related to the Eight Immortals. The Eight Immortals, that is, "the Eight Immortals crossed the sea", "The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers" and "A dog biting Lv Dongbin doesn't know how to be kind to people" are the old saying.

There are many versions of Eight Immortals, including Tie Guai Li, Zhang, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu.

It is said that in that year, the Jade Emperor held a birthday party for immortals from all over the world, and the Eight Immortals gladly went to the party. Although they can fly at high speed, they are carefree because they missed the beautiful scenery on the earth. One day, when I arrived at a famous mountain, I saw towering old trees, exotic flowers and fragrant grass. Zhang suggested taking a break, showing their magical powers, and made stone tables, stone benches, fragrant teas, fresh fruits and so on. Enjoy the scenery.

This stone table is called the Eight Immortals Table because it was used by the Eight Immortals. In pursuit of good luck, people call the dining table the Eight Immortals Table.
