Mortise and tenon structures commonly used in Ming and Qing furniture 2(2 pieces)

China's wooden building frame generally includes columns, beams, purlins, pads, truss purlins, bucket arches, rafters, surface plates and other basic components.

The "tenon-mortise" connection mode of all parts of China furniture is the main structural mode of furniture modeling. Various tenons and mortises have different practices and different scope of application, but they have the function of "joint" in every piece of furniture.

If tenons and mortises are used properly, the two wood structures can be tightly fixed together to achieve a "seamless" degree. It is a basic skill that ancient carpenters must have, and the level of craftsmanship can be clearly reflected through the tenon-mortise structure. ? [2]?
