What is a rose chair?

Why the rose chair is named rose chair can be said to have a deep understanding. ?

"Rose" culture has a long history. "Ross"? In Kangxi dictionary, it means "colored stone". The word "rose" alone means "beautiful stone" and "wonderful beauty", which means precious. "Once"? Ban Gu Chuan? "Xi Du Fu" contains: "Because the rose is expected to be strange, it resists the red beam" and calls the "rose" a strange thing. ? Rose chair is just the name of this kind of chair by northern craftsmen, but it is often called "literary chair" in Jiangnan area. In the northern dialect, it is customary to call short things "imps", such as naughty and lovely children. I remember when I was a child, I went shopping. The shopkeeper (whose boss is from the north) asked me: What do you want to buy, little friend? "? At first, this kind of armchair was called "ghost chair" or "devil chair" because of its low backrest and short stature compared with ordinary chairs (mentioned in Yangzhou Bookstore written by Li Dou in Qing Dynasty), but because of the uniqueness and imprecision of dialect, it became "beautiful ghost chair", that is, a beautiful little chair.

Because "beautiful ghost" and "rose" are homophonic, the word "rose" echoes the graceful appearance of women, and the "beautiful ghost chair" was later renamed as "rose chair".
