Medieval furniture store furniture design with a certain style and characteristics, do you like this style?

China's history has a long history, furniture in thousands of years of civilization also continue to improve and evolve. Traditional Chinese furniture carries thousands of years of cultural heritage, but also represents a traditional culture, which is a style of furniture that I like very much, today we will talk about the three major schools: namely, Guangzuo, Jingzuo, Suzuo.

Guangzuo: Guangzuo furniture, Guangzhou-style furniture, with coarse materials, carving, Western-style, inlaid and other characteristics.

According to legend, Guangzhou-style furniture originated in the Song Dynasty, and was brought to Xinhui, Guangdong by the Song Taifu, who brought the palace woodcutting and woodcarving skills to mature in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It blends traditional Chinese and Western styles to bring life back to a rustic, simple and unhurried atmosphere. The picture below is a typical kind of Guangzhou furniture, we can see that it uses mostly large pieces of wood, beautifully carved yet simple, the chair back is painted with landscape and building patterns, providing a sense of atmosphere for the whole.

Beijing: mainly refers to the Qing Dynasty Palace Workshop of the Office of the Ministry of the Interior Manufacturing Office of the furniture made in Beijing, more than reflecting the solemnity of the Royal family, elegant and luxurious, atmospheric and noble.

In the beginning, the Beijing furniture by the "Su" and "Guangzuo" influence, the integration of the essence of the two, but the Beijing work more for the royal family, so in order to show the noble family, in the momentum of the more majestic and solemn. However, Beijing works were mostly used by the royal family, so they were more majestic and solemn in order to show the nobility of the heavenly family. We can see the picture below is a typical Beijing, it's very fine carving, the overall momentum of the magnificent carved from a large piece of wood, carving lines are very strong and powerful, giving people a sense of nobility.

Su: the representative style of Ming furniture, simple style, focus on injecting cultural connotations, generally do not have too much carving modification. Modification techniques are usually in relief, line carving, embedded wood, embedded stone and other techniques.

Su made in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, mostly made for the needs of the literati, which is why more in the production of Chinese Confucianism injected into the middle way, Zen see the nature of the mind and Taoism and the Taoist idea of nature. We can see that the picture below is a typical Su works, simple, clean, no pattern, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

I am very fond of Chinese antique furniture, which is the social lifestyle, the level of social material civilization as well as the historical and cultural characteristics of a certain historical period. This is the end of today's discussion, welcome to comment and explore.
