May I ask a question? What does it mean for the sky to be round and the earth to be square?
The concept of ‘round sky and square earth’ is generally used in pipelines – for example, at the point where a device’s outlet connects to a pipeline. The device has square-shaped openings, while the pipeline is circular; in such cases, the ‘round sky and square earth’ connection is used. Conversely, it’s called ‘round earth and square sky’.

The concept of a round sky and a square earth is often used in fans.
I heard about it for the first time and thought it was a chat post, huh :L :L
The transition between square and round shapes draws on the concept of \"the sky being round and the earth being square\" – square connecting to round; this concept is further extended to \"the sky being square and the earth being round\" – round connecting to square
