There are many ways to determine the main position of a table, but here are some common ones:
Observe the shape and design of the table: usually the main seat is reflected directly in front of the table. If the table has a clear front and back distinction, such as a distinct front and back, the front can be considered the main position. If the table is in the same direction in all four directions, you can judge the main position by looking at the placement of other objects or decorations, such as placing particularly eye-catching objects or markers.
Feng Shui Compass: Use a Feng Shui compass (also known as a compass or compass) to measure the direction of a table. Make sure the compass is placed above the table to get an accurate orientation reading. Generally speaking, the direction in which the compass pointer points is the main position of the table.
Light and space: Observe the light conditions in the room or office space where the desk is located. Generally speaking, the direction towards bright and open light is where the main seat is. If the table is located in a corner of the room, the side near the corner can be considered the main seat.
Other Feng Shui Considerations: Based on your knowledge of Feng Shui or the advice of a Feng Shui consultant, other Feng Shui points can be considered to determine the main position of the table, such as Bayake Feng Shui, Bagua Orientation, etc.
There are various theories about the origin of the main seat of the table. According to one theory, the main seat is derived from the ancient banquet culture, when the main seat was usually the seat where the host sits, and was used to show respect and welcome to the host. Another theory is that the main throne has its roots in the ancient culture of warfare, when the main seat was usually the place where the general sat and was used to command battles. In modern society, the head of the table has evolved into a ceremonial and cultural tradition used to show respect and welcome to guests. Regardless of the origin, judging the main position of the table is a manifestation of cultural traditions and etiquette, and the position of the main seat should be judged according to the specific situation and occasion.
