Brief introduction of stool:

The predecessor of stool is Mazar-e-Mazar, which is called stool by the people. It was originally used when stepping on a horse and getting on a sedan chair, so it is also called horse stool and sedan chair stool. In the popular name, there is also a kind of "martial arts stool", because people who practice martial arts sit like clocks and don't need to rely on anything.

Stools are more popular than chairs because of their simple materials and wide uses. The shape of stools is very rich, which was rectangular in the early days and continued until the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing dynasty, it became square, and there were also round, fan-shaped, plum-blossom-shaped and hexagonal stools.

Stools are imported for the Han people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the northwest nationalities entered the Central Plains, and a high-type seat called "square stool" flowed in. This kind of stool varies in size, the largest is about two feet square and the smallest is one foot.

Although the overall appearance is just a "rectangular" stool, the change of style makes people feel "moving silently". For example, some square stools in the Ming Dynasty are of the same color, some are inlaid with marble, and some are woven with silk ropes and rattan, which is considered refreshing and pleasant to sit on in hot summer.
