Introduction of traditional furniture

Ming-style furniture is the most famous traditional furniture in China. It not only has brilliant achievements in the history of ancient furniture in China, but also occupies an important position in the history of furniture in the world. Ming-style furniture spread to Britain, France and other countries after Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, which had a great influence on European furniture in the18th century.

On the basis of inheriting the tradition of furniture production in Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ming-style furniture has made great innovations in materials, processing technology, modeling design and structure. Some furniture in Qing dynasty still followed the style and craft of Ming dynasty furniture, also known as "Ming style furniture".

The existing Ming-style furniture in China is mainly produced in Suzhou, Beijing and Guangzhou, which inherits the excellent tradition of Ming-style furniture and forms three systems: Soviet-style, Beijing-style and Guangdong-style.
