There are many different shapes and sizes for Chinese tables. However, we can divide them into five main styles: square tables, round tables, long tables, short tables and side tables with drawers.
For square tables, we have got 4 people tables and 8 people tables. Round tables allow more people to sit together. It also means "reunion" in Chinese. Altar tables are the most common long tables. They are usually long and narrow and used to be placed against the back wall and carried offerings to the gods and ancestors. Before Tang and Song dynasties, people sat on the ground at home, so tables were very short at that time.
