Inheritance and development of traditional furniture


There is a difference between traditional furniture and modern homes. Traditional furniture is historic. China's furniture was formed relatively early, and China's furniture civilization is the civilization of life, so Chinese furniture has a certain development in the prevalent period. China's furniture development has several very important historical stages, so furniture is a humanistic culture.



As early as the cultural relics we unearthed, there was the prototype of Chinese furniture in the Shang Dynasty. When we arrived in the Warring States Period, we saw that the cultural relics unearthed from the Han Tomb in Mancheng had very fine furniture.

By the time of the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, China's wooden furniture was very developed, and it had formed a prototype, which created a trend in the development of this furniture and had a great impact on the future development of furniture. It can be said that every leap in furniture culture is inseparable from the historical environment, cultural environment, and economic development environment at that time.

When studying the history of these furniture, it is difficult to see except for a few unearthed cultural relics. We can only study the history of furniture from painting and calligraphy. The work of Han Xizai's last words of Han Xizai in the Five Dynasties period described Han Xizai's spare time at that time, which contained furniture such as canopy beds, tea tables , chairs, hangers, washbasin stands and so on.

At that time, the prototype of the furniture was basically the same as the shape of the official hat and chair we saw today, so this furniture culture development is compatible with the entire historical development of China, and it has its independent development origin.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially after the Ming Dynasty, our furniture was integrated with more cultural connotations, which caused a great impact on the world, including the Western European Renaissance furniture can see traces of Ming-style furniture, so China The development of furniture is inseparable from China's cultural history and economic history. Furniture is attached to several major schools in our country, including Buddhism and Confucianism.

It incorporates many philosophical thoughts, artistic thoughts, and humanistic thoughts, so we believe that traditional furniture is a culture. Especially in the middle and late period of Chinese history, the mainstream of furniture is mainly in the court, and of course there are some folk furniture. This kind of furniture becomes the carrier of culture based on the dominant culture of the palace, including the antique furniture that we mass-produce now are based on the furniture of imitation daguan nobles.

Combining furniture and wood as a very beautiful work of art is also the first of its kind in China, so China first knew rosewood and rosewood. The literati has a very beautiful description of the color and texture of rosewood. Rosewood, especially Hainan Huanghuali, described its pattern as a stack of mountains, especially as furniture, and added some scientific and humanistic content, which made the furniture of the Ming Dynasty reflect a very high artistic and cultural connotation. .

The Ming-style furniture has beautiful lines, pays attention to the unity of the world and the balance of symmetry, and reflects the doctrine of the mean in the most vivid manner, showing the very deep connotation of Chinese culture. In addition, it is very restrained and not as flamboyant as European furniture. So depending on whether a piece of furniture is done well or not, it depends on whether it can embody traditional Chinese cultural thoughts.

When it comes to inheritance and development, what is inherited? What is inherited is the traditional Chinese culture, which is the foundation of our development. It's like saying that you make a piece of Chinese furniture, and if you completely break away from the traditional ideas of Chinese culture and innovate, it is non-Chinese traditional furniture, which has become nondescript Western-style furniture, or furniture that is not foreign. Of course, we do not deny that Western countries have their own characteristics, it focuses on its design philosophy. Therefore, furniture has the characteristics of each era, reflecting the political, economic, cultural, art, philosophy and other cultural connotations of this era.

We inherit this idea and develop on the basis of traditional culture. We talk about the topic of inheritance and development is not a new topic, for many years has been the main direction of our research. Each era has the characteristics and artistic characteristics of each era. When we identify cultural relics, we also grasped the cultural characteristics of this era to identify its age. In addition, it should be studied from its modeling concept, from its surface pattern, from its structural mechanics, from its ergonomics.

I often say that the Ming-style furniture is a very important stage in the entire history of furniture development. It is relatively mature, and its cultural ideas and philosophical ideas are also relatively clear. It reflects harmony, balance, stability, and the balance of mechanics. At the same time, artistic ideas were introduced, so "Huanghuali Culture" was formed. In the Qing dynasty, the combination of philosophical thoughts and systems based on palace culture formed the "Purple Sandalwood Culture".

So as a piece of furniture, it's not just about making wood. To make furniture, we must first learn how to choose materials, how to match materials, and how to use the content of colors and textures, so that we can make very good furniture.

Although the value of wood has continued to appreciate over the years, its appreciation does not lie in wood. The rise and fall of wood is related to the growth of furniture, but it is not an absolute relationship. Although some woods are not grown in China, and good red sandalwood grows in India, but the Chinese were the first to recognize this kind of wood.

It can make use of the color of the wood, the texture of the wood and even the density of the wood, and skillfully combine it with Chinese culture to make very beautiful furniture.

Without such wood, it is impossible to form the cultural characteristics of that era, including Huanghuali culture and red sandalwood culture. Now not only the use value of furniture, but also its artistic value and humanistic value. Why a set of furniture can be sold for millions or even higher. This price cannot be sold from wood alone, because it incorporates historical, scientific, and artistic features in the connotation of furniture.

The things of the Qing Dynasty are different from the things of the Ming Dynasty, because the things of the Qing Dynasty exemplify the cultural thought, politics, philosophy, and court rationality of the Qing Dynasty. The red sandalwood used in the Qing Dynasty was very deep and beautiful. Although the color is very dark, it embodies a very solemn and deep aesthetic. The Qing Dynasty's rules and regulations decided that it must be done.

We sat on a chair in the Qing Dynasty and it was very balanced straight up and down. It was not comfortable, but it was very solemn, and it was very dignified to sit up. It was developed on the basis of the Ming Dynasty, so the most preserved furniture is red sandalwood. In terms of texture, I personally think that the furniture of the Qing Dynasty is the heyday of the development of Chinese furniture history. It not only uses wood cleverly, but also uses a variety of materials to combine, and further increases the pace of art development. There are also antique furniture.

China is a multi-ethnic country, and its culture and arts are very beautiful. But with the advancement of technology, the development of the times, and the development of the economy, these things are either eliminated or on the verge of extinction.

So we have to talk about protection, including furniture. We imitate it and develop it is also one aspect of cultural protection. However, our protection is not an inherent and blind copy. It requires innovation and development, but this development cannot be separated from our traditional culture and traditional ideas. We can use a variety of processes, and even use the current scientific technology, including our further study of its mechanical structure and ergonomics and structural art.

The origin of Chinese furniture is the same as that of ancient Chinese buildings. Our ancient buildings are made of wooden frames. Therefore, the relationship between the top columns of the buildings and the relationship between the squares created our furniture. Without this cultural foundation, the design of traditional furniture may deviate.
