What is the history of furniture development in China?

The development of high-type furniture: With the northwest ethnic minorities entering the Central Plains one after another, it has objectively led to the great integration of many ethnic groups. High-type furniture, such as chairs, square stools and round piers, was introduced from ethnic minority areas and merged with the furniture in the Central Plains, which led to the gradual emergence of high-type furniture in some areas, laying the foundation for the coexistence of sitting at the foot and sitting on the floor during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. During this period, armchairs, square stools and other high chairs appeared, and beds and collapsed tables began to increase. Part of the upper part is also equipped with a top curtain to raise dust, surrounded by a detachable low screen, and the lower part is decorated with doors. In addition to the bed, there are hidden bags with waist cushions and several stools to sit on.

Decorative style: Lacquered wood furniture is decorated with thick green paint, and the dark green background breaks the unified pattern of red and black in traditional lacquered wood furniture. The theme of furniture decoration also reflects the world outlook and strong religious color at that time, and it is exquisite and ethereal, with lotus patterns, gold and silver patterns, grass scroll patterns, flame patterns, flying patterns and other decorative patterns related to Buddhism.
