China Furniture in Song Dynasty (Liao and Jin Dynasties)

Song dynasty (Liao and Jin dynasties)-mature, universal, concise and beautiful

By the Song Dynasty, high-type furniture had spread to ordinary families, such as high-bed furniture, high-legged furniture, towel rack furniture and so on. At the same time, many new varieties have appeared: plush chairs, drawer kitchens and so on. The furniture in Song Dynasty is concise, neat and elegant. No matter all kinds of furniture win by simple modeling, there are few complicated decorations, and at most it is a partial finishing touch: for example, the feet of furniture are slightly decorated. (see above) but it also lacks the spirit of majesty.

The Origin and Development of Furniture

Tables and chairs: pure imitation of building wood frame, using simple frame structure, which laid the foundation for the further development of frame furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties. And a master chair named after the official rank appeared.

Screen: As almost every household must have a screen, the placement of the screen is very important. Aesthetic significance is often greater than practical value.
