Can I have a table under the beam? Can I have a table under the beam?

1. The table can't be placed under the beam, which is a superstition. In the traditional geomantic omen in China, it is really taboo to put tables, chairs and bedding under the beams.

2. However, from a scientific point of view, it makes sense that there is no platform under the beam. Because, in the traditional architecture of our country, beams are used to bear the load, and beams are all made of wood, which is easy to break under the pressure of weight. Therefore, in a house, the safety under the beam is less than that in other positions. In modern architecture, the beam is no longer made of wood, but placing a table under the beam will make people feel more or less depressed when eating, which will affect their appetite and destroy the dining atmosphere. Therefore, you can't put the table under the beam.
