What it really means
A specific booked seat, shown on your ticket as a coach letter and seat number (like "Coach C, seat 42"). Screens or paper tags above seats show reservations. If someone is in your reserved seat, it is normal to politely point it out.
Chinese explanation
订座信息，票上会写车厢字母和座位号（如"C车厢42座"）。座位上方的电子屏或纸条会显示预订情况。有人坐了你订的座位，可以礼貌地指出来，这很正常。
