The dining table in the living room can be placed horizontally or vertically. There is nothing particular about this, mainly depending on the size and layout of your living room. But sharp corners are forbidden on the dining table. There should be no beam above the place where the dining table is placed. Just don't point it at bathroom door. After all, no one wants to see the toilet while eating.

Dining custom
As far as diet is concerned, China people are a little different from westerners. Westerners like to taste the food in front of them, while China people have certain dining rules. They like to order some dishes and put them in the center of the table. Everyone has a bowl of rice to eat these dishes, which can be added after eating. Picked dishes are usually put into your own rice bowl first, and it is impolite to put them directly into your mouth.
According to the usual practice, guests will not eat all the dishes on the table when attending formal or traditional dinner parties, so as not to make the host family mistakenly think that the dishes are not ready and feel embarrassed.

The arrangement of daily meal is to put a rice bowl, a pair of chopsticks, a spoon and a plate of sauce on each seat. After a meal, guests are usually given a hot towel instead of a paper towel to wipe their hands and mouth. All dishes are served in the center of the table at the same time, and everyone uses their own chopsticks to pick up food directly from the dishes enjoyed by each dish; A big pot of soup is served, and everyone drinks a pot of soup.
Guests must not "fly across the river" when eating, and pick up the dishes placed in the distance. Because China people like to enjoy all the dishes, their dining tables are mostly round or square, rather than the long dining tables used by westerners.
