It is not good for the dining table to face the entrance door, which will make people feel uncomfortable subconsciously.
The dining table is used for family members to gather to eat, so it should be placed in a relatively quiet place to ensure that family members are calm and happy when dining. First of all, avoid placing the dining table directly opposite the door, as this can easily lead to leakage of vitality. If you have to do that, you must use a porch to block it.
Residential Feng Shui emphasizes that "it is preferable to turn around but not to rush forward". If there is a collision, the energy of the Qi will be easily released, and the Feng Shui will be greatly affected. If the dining table is placed in a straight line with the door, stand on it. It is not appropriate to see a whole family eating right outside the door, so don’t let the dining table face the entrance door.
The shape of the dining table
China's traditional cosmology is "the sky is round and the earth is round", so most daily utensils are round and square. The traditional dining table is a typical example. The traditional dining table is shaped like a full moon, symbolizing the closeness and intimacy of a family, old and young. It can well set off the atmosphere of eating and 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 and is called the Four Immortals Table. The larger one can seat eight people, also known as the Eight Immortals table. Because it symbolizes the gathering of the Eight Immortals, it is also very auspicious. It is square and stable, symbolizing fairness and stability. Although there are corners on the four sides, they are not sharp and have no lethality, so people are happy to use them.
Since the shape of the dining table will affect the dining atmosphere, a wooden round table or a square table is suitable when the family has a small population, while an oval or rectangular table is suitable when the family has a larger population.
