1. Respect the right. The arrangement of tables and seats mentioned above has already mentioned the principle of respecting the right, and the arrangement of seats also respects the right and the left is humble. Therefore, if the male and female host sit side by side, the male is left and the female is right, and the right is the biggest. If there are two tables in the seat, and the male and female hosts preside separately, the right table will be the largest. The arrangement of guests' seats is also the same, that is, the right side of the host and hostess is the largest and the left side is the smallest.

2. The person with the highest position or position is respected, and the person with the highest position is seated, which is determined according to the position, that is, the rank, and cannot be exceeded.

3. If the positions or positions are the same, they must be positioned according to the traditional habits of official positions.

4. Observe diplomatic practice. According to the practice of various countries, when the head of a government, such as the president or prime minister, gives a banquet for foreign guests, the ranking of foreign ministers is ahead of other ministers.

Round table seating

The dining table style popular in hotels and restaurants since the mid-Qing Dynasty is also widely used in families today, especially in the catering industry and government canteens. Its seating position generally depends on the orientation and decoration design style of the restaurant or room, or the orientation of the door, the sunrise, or the center of gravity and prominent position reflected in the design and decoration style of the hall and room.

Usually, when the waiter sets the table, the mouth cloth is folded into flowers, birds and other shapes, and the first shape will be very eye-catching, making people know at a glance. For grand banquets, seat cards (seat tags) are often placed in front of each table seat, and the invitations are marked with the table number of the banquet. In this way, it is not easy to make mistakes, either by the master of ceremonies, or by following the map and taking a seat accordingly.
