Chinese furniture will dominate the world far beyond "foreign furniture" is not a dream

Furniture is an indispensable branch of people's life. Unconsciously, all kinds of high-middle and low-grade "foreign furniture" and "foreign devil furniture" with oceanic skin have become "hot goods" in the home industry.

Although mahogany furniture is superior to foreign furniture in terms of materials, craftsmanship, price, preservation, repair, and inheritance, some people say that they do not value these things and like "culture." Because I really don't know what culture the foreign family has, I will introduce the culture of traditional Chinese furniture today, and I can compare it with the "foreign furniture culture" that you know.

"The instrument is the way to carry the road" is the artistic conception of Chinese traditional creation, paying attention to the realm through the form and language of the object. It is embodied in the relationship between man and nature, is the unity of man and nature; embodied in the social relationship between man and man, is the harmony and order of society;

Reflected in the relationship between man and thing, it is the unity of mind and matter, literature and quality, form and god, material and art, use and beauty. This kind of requirement is “in the middle of the device” in the opposite direction. Chinese traditional furniture is undoubtedly one of the best!

There are many kinds of traditional Chinese furniture, no matter whether it is a colorful chair, a simple and elegant bed, or a multi-purpose case, the cabinets of the storage and clothing, all reflect the Chinese people's cultural spirit and taste.

Chair: courtesy

The Confucian doctrine advocates courtesy and treats people, and advocates the behavior of elegance and elegance. This culture and aesthetics are clearly reflected in the layout and structure of traditional Chinese furniture, especially chair and chair furniture.

The ancients lived in harmony with the rituals. Therefore, the layout of the chair and stool was very elegant. For example, in the "Book of Etiquette", "the room is eastward and the south is in the hall."

In the furniture and furnishings of the chair and stool, "Wen Zuowu right" "East to the left, the top" "Men left female right" and other concepts fully reflect the norms of ritual. Depending on the identity, the type of seating and orientation used are also different.

The structure of the chair and stool also fully reflects the norms of the ceremony. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the Taishi chair, the backrest, the armrest and the chair surface are at a right angle of 90 degrees, and the Chinese pay attention to the sitting posture. This Taishi chair is in line with the Chinese ceremonial requirements of "just sitting in danger", making people consciously become practitioners of self-denial and ritual, and also a gesture consistent with Chinese cultural spirit and aesthetic orientation.

Cabinet: Neutralization

The Chinese pursue the moderation in their sexuality and respect the "level" and "harmony" in the aesthetic concept. This also made the traditional Chinese furniture warm and heavy, moderate and peaceful quality characteristics.

Cabinets are another major category in furniture, such as top cabinets, round cabinets, picture cabinets, and five drawers. The neutralization of the cabinets is reflected in the appropriate use of different materials. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the iron wood round cabinets are mainly made of iron wood. The five-piece four-piece core boards of the door panels are inlaid with eucalyptus wood, which reflects the beauty of different materials. Emphasize that "violation does not make, but is different." The creations can complement each other and be inclusive.

In the design of the design, it is also neutral, such as the Ming Dynasty rounded cabinets, mostly with soft curved surface shapes, few hard corners, echoing the Chinese gentle and peaceful character. The column legs of the cabinet are also made into the inner circle of the outer circle, which presents the concept of the mean. The design of the structure is complex and exquisite, so that all the structures are not exposed, which fully expresses the Confucian moral etiquette and the aesthetic features of the introverted, calm and introverted.

Bed: Heaven and Man

Ancient Chinese people very much agree with the relationship between heaven and man. Whether it is painting, architecture, garden, sculpture, or furniture, people's creation activities will reflect the concept of "Heaven and Man".

The pursuit of the unity of heaven and man in traditional Chinese furniture is mainly reflected in the use of natural things. On the bed of the material, pay attention to the natural fine wood, highlighting the natural texture of the wood; in the decoration process, its content is also taken from all things in nature, such as flowers and birds, fish, birds and beasts, landscape trees. Emphasize that beauty comes from nature, advocates inspiration from nature, and takes "natural" as the highest state of aesthetics.

In addition, the ancients said that the side of the bed is comfortable for others to sleep? The bed is a world of people, and the heaven and earth integrate the spirit of the bed into the heart through the concept of furniture.

Case: literati

Traditional furniture and the ancients day and night are the epitome of people's lifestyle. According to the different forms and functions of the ancient table, the use of different venues, the variety is very diverse, it is also visible that the ancient Chinese literati leisure, emotions, joys and sorrows.

The home that plays the guqin has a "qin table" or a "piano table". The piano table is usually equipped with a baffle at the bottom of the table top and is boring, so that the sound of the piano resonates under the table.

The ancients' love for music is not only the need to cultivate self-cultivation, but also the way to pursue artistic beauty. The piano table is simple and elegant, showing an obvious literati temperament. Incense in the interior, people usually put the incense burner on a special small, called "fragrance." The shape is beautiful, well-made, and richly decorated. Together with the “incense incense”, it constitutes an important part of the Ming Dynasty literati's leisure life.

The interesting chess table, the quaint wine table, and so on, all reflect the elegant leisure of the ancient literati. Whether it is a simple shape, straight lines, or a natural and pure wood texture, Chinese traditional furniture contains the profound traditional ideas and cultural connotations of China.

Some people say that classical furniture is the best carrier of Chinese traditional culture. It carries the civilization of China for thousands of years, and it is the spiritual realm of the Chinese people's modest ceremonies, perseverance, harmonious order and profound meaning.

This is unmatched by any foreign furniture, and no foreign furniture can be so carried and approached.
