What exactly is Chinese classical furniture?

1 Design concept of Chinese classical furniture

1. The feudal rule that lasted for more than two thousand years left a deep imprint on people's production and lifestyle. Furniture, as a tool of daily life, also reflects the life style and culture of ancient China people in a feudal society with obvious inferiority and strict hierarchy.

2. China people pay attention to the word "dignity", which can also be seen in the design of furniture.

For example, the Qing dynasty pursued luxury and liked to show the emperor's domineering with some superb craftsmanship. Therefore, the treasure seat in the Qing Dynasty had a large surface, with the backrest and armrest perpendicular to the chair surface respectively, and the throne was beautifully carved.

3. Corresponding to the feudal hierarchical society of more than two thousand years, the aesthetic level of ancient people in China can be divided into gaudy, subtle, melodramatic and morbid.

Among them, morbidness is the highest aesthetic realm.

China's introversion and implication have shaped the indirect way of speaking and acting, which is also reflected in the design of furniture. For example, the texture similar to Facebook formed by the scar of Huanghua pear wood was called "cute face" by scholars at that time;

In China's traditional culture, whether you get along with the monarch, father and son or friends, you should pay attention to the word "courtesy". The cultural characteristics of ancient people in China, such as communication etiquette and hierarchical order, are also reflected in the design and placement of Chinese classical style tables and chairs.

The tables and chairs of Chinese furniture are usually made of excellent hardwood. Through fine workmanship, long tables, square tables, desks and other shapes are created, which are stable and reflect the dignity of the host family.

Usually, the distance between two chairs on the dining table is about 1 m, and 1 m is the safe and polite social distance of ancient Chinese.
