Interpretation of classical home

The development of furniture technology in China flourished in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Before the Tang Dynasty, people used to sit on the floor, but in the late Tang Dynasty, simple tables and chairs appeared among the people. Although they were not widely popular at that time, they had a positive impact on the furniture industry in the future. At this stage, the variety and style of furniture are undergoing the transition from sitting on the floor to sitting with feet. There are several kinds of furniture in the Tang Dynasty, such as tables, cases, boxes, cabinets, cupboards, screens, chess and cards, tables and chairs, etc. Their materials are widely used. Besides some good wood, bamboo and rattan are also used. With better wood, there is also decoration. The woodcut painting created in the Tang Dynasty is an exquisite and dazzling craft. It is made of dyed ivory, antlers, boxwood and other decorative patterns, embedded in wood, very beautiful.

There are not many furniture relics in Song Dynasty. From several kinds of Song Dynasty furniture unearthed from Julu, Hebei Province, we can see that they are constantly improving and changing from category to shape. The furniture technology in Yuan Dynasty developed greatly on the original basis. From the furniture left over from the Yuan Dynasty, we can see that its style and modeling are more perfect than those of the Song Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous stage of furniture design and manufacturing technology in China. Ming furniture was developed and perfected on the basis of Song and Yuan furniture. Its greatest feature is that it is good at modeling and skillfully combines material selection, production, use and aesthetics. In the production, you can achieve a circle in the square, seamless splicing, smooth feet and so on. And according to different needs, a variety of different tenons can be used reasonably, without gluing, which is firm and firm, showing the superb skills of furniture manufacturing. Ming-style furniture pays attention to material selection, using hardwood such as mahogany, rosewood, rosewood, chicken wing wood and iron pear. Some furniture also uses hard miscellaneous wood such as nanmu, elm and camphor wood, among which Huang Huali wood has the best effect. Hardwood is a relatively precious wood. Its wood is hard and elastic, and its color and texture are beautiful. Therefore, Ming-style furniture rarely uses paint, and only transparent wax can show the texture and natural beauty of wood itself.

Qing-style furniture is famous for its decoration, which is complicated and gorgeous. Because of the different styles of its producing areas, it forms different local characteristics, and the most representative ones can be divided into Soviet style, Beijing style and Guangzhou style. Su Zuo inherited the characteristics of Ming-style furniture, exquisite and simple, and did not seek decoration. Guangzuo pays great attention to sculpture and decoration, and pursues gorgeous; Beijing School emphasizes waxwork, and its structure is scratched and hollowed out. Qing dynasty furniture handicraft industry flourished in Qianlong period, and many skilled craftsmen and outstanding folk artists appeared. The high-grade exquisite furniture they made is luxuriously decorated, unique in style and exquisitely carved, which is of great appreciation value. However, Qinghua's furniture usually only pays attention to skills and blindly pursues Furama's design. Complex carving often destroys the whole sense, and the shape is cumbersome, the feel is not good, and it is not conducive to cleaning.

Technology: classical furniture
