The development of chairs

A kind of official hat chair was developed in Song Dynasty, which was named after its appearance resembling the official hat of ancient officials. There are two kinds of official hat chairs: south official hat chair and four-headed official hat chair. The way to distinguish is to see whether the brain ends and front ends of the left and right handrails are prominent, and what is not prominent is the south official hat chair. The official hat chair is mainly composed of seat surface, armrest, armrest and backrest. When we sit in the official hat chair, the weight is transferred from the legs and feet to the hips and thighs, and the weight is also distributed to the arms and head.

Furniture in the middle and late Qing Dynasty is different from that in the Ming Dynasty. Although it inherited some traditional practices in the furniture structure of the Ming Dynasty, the modeling tends to be complex, with gorgeous and heavy style, straight and hard lines and more carvings. However, the rationality of furniture structure and the coordination of human use function were ignored, so the furniture in this period was large in scale and heavy in shape, and at the same time it had the style of showing wealth and status in officialdom. People call it "qing-style furniture".
