The cultural color of furniture changes with the times...

Furniture is closely related to people's lives. Classical furniture shapes the posture of people sitting and standing. It is also restricted and changed by architectural space and living customs. Since then, its style, materials and functions have changed more or less, but The "Oriental Spirit" of its connotation has not changed, and continues to influence people's lives in the form of classics or changes.

Furniture and body "shape" each other

The most basic function of furniture is to be used, directly in contact with the human body. In contrast, people sit and stand, and are also restricted and shaped by furniture. The history of the development of classical furniture is also the evolutionary history of the ancient lifestyle. With the Song Dynasty as the dividing line, the Chinese from "sitting on the ground" to "sitting on the ground", the seat in the furniture also evolved from a low mat to a wooden chair with a frame structure. The mahogany furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties can be said to be the masters of Chinese classical furniture. Nowadays, the study of classical furniture can be used to understand the movements of the ancients indoors. It can be seen that the lifestyle of today's people is changing all the time, but the code of conduct that is closely related to furniture in traditional culture has been respected and respected by modern people.

Home is a place where you can relax. The most important and most used items in your home are sitting, bed and table. Among them, the seat in classical furniture is the most distinctive. In the present view, the various types of seats in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, regardless of the throne, the official hat chair, the circle chair, are not comfortable with modern furniture, such as the dragon chair, the backrest and the armrests are carved with dragon patterns, and the embossed relief is used. The craft, the body only feels uneven when it is up; and the seat of the throne is generally larger, and there is a distance from the surrounding siding, and the user is inconvenient to lean on the siding and the handrail. Its large size and complex structure are symbols of the king's noble style and status. For example, the common official hats and ring chairs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although there are S-shaped backboards and brains, can be called "leisure furniture" in mahogany furniture, but the backboard and the seat are often at right angles, it is difficult to sit up. Relax completely.

Up to now, the seat materials and styles of the modern family are diverse. In the living room, the sofa is the mainstream seat, but it is because of the "uncomfortable" of the mahogany furniture, but it becomes the common furniture in the study room and restaurant furniture in the modern Chinese style. In modern Chinese style, the backrest also often appears as a dining chair. In the Chinese style layout, the dining table is often rounded to facilitate the formation of the enclosed space. The backrest chair has no armrests to occupy a small space and is easy to place, and allows the user to keep the back straight, not sitting on the seat, and not relying on the back. On both sides, the correct dining etiquette is maintained, which is convenient for creating a high-end formal dining environment.

The evolutionary history of "house belly"

There is a folk saying that "furniture is the 'house' of the house'", the form and regulation of the building also determines the change of the internal furniture at any time and in the region. Chinese classical architecture is generally composed of beams and columns, which constitute a single building in units of “between” and then a courtyard with a single building. This kind of house with wooden structure is often divided into four columns. The more the opening, the higher the level. Because the weight of the house is often carried by the wooden structure, the wall is not bearing the weight. Compared with today's concrete reinforced concrete materials, there are few cement walls inside the room as a cover, which is more natural and transparent. As the architectural form changes, the furniture used in the house is naturally changing, but the ancient charm of the classical furniture is also passed down in various forms in modern architecture.

In today's home decoration, not only in the traditional Chinese space, screens often appear, but also appear in ordinary space. In the large-scale villas and flat-rise houses, the design of screens and windows and doors breaks through the structure of reinforced concrete, and the enclosed indoor space is cut through the way of immersing in the way. style of. Even in the ordinary residential space, the similar design is often seen between the entrance and the living room, ensuring the transparency of the space and giving the rhythm of the space.

At the same time, with the change of living space, some traditional furniture is no longer suitable for modern life. For example, the extremely closed canopy bed and the stepping bed are often composed of columns, railings and bed tops, which are suitable for the ancient buildings with high height and top structure, and in the modern family space, such complicated furniture. Not only is the size larger, it seems to be a space, and it gives people a sense of oppression. In the modern Chinese bedroom space, there are beddings that retain the characteristics of classical beds, but the number of columns is reduced, often four wooden columns at four corners, plus a simple beam connection, with a curtain, also Without losing the charm of classical grace.

Furniture culture changes with the times

Furniture restricts the posture of people sitting and walking, and the lifestyle of people also chooses classical furniture. The connotation of today's mahogany furniture not only respects and inherits the materials and styles of classical furniture, but pursues its deep meaning, and it is also a respect for the elegant and dignified lifestyle of the ancients at that time. Therefore, in the process of inheritance, classical furniture is also subject to the choice and change of the modern lifestyle. Some styles of furniture have changed in size, some of the functions of furniture have changed, and more furniture forms and display concepts have not yet Change has been re-emphasized by today's people.

In the living room of a contemporary Chinese-style family, there is often not enough room to display the symmetrical display seat, the long wall against the wall, the hanging screen for decoration, the decoration of the Arhat bed and the small embroidered pier, and the casual meaning. Furniture, on the other hand, has the opportunity to board the "Great Hall."

In addition, some classics in classical furniture, although after nearly a hundred years of historical faults, modernity has been valued and appeared in other forms. For example, the small things used in ancient study rooms are full of plates, one plate can hold a variety of things, some are single-layer and multi-layer styles, and also have drawers, simple and beautiful and practical, generally surrounded by railings, this stationery and today The stationery storage boxes on the common desks are very similar in style.

The value of furniture, in addition to its practicality, is more important than the cultural value it contains. Any furniture often embodies certain social forms, production methods, living customs, humanistic concepts, aesthetic concepts and values, thus combining practicality and artistry, with distinct characteristics of the times, local characteristics and national style. These are the embodiment of culture.

Broadly speaking, all material civilization achievements and spiritual civilization achievements created by human society are cultures, including food culture, wine culture, tea culture, costume culture and other cultures closely related to customs and habits, including philosophy and sociology. Literature and various cultural and artistic categories. As a kind of soft power, culture plays a huge role and cannot be estimated.

From a broad perspective, or from a narrow perspective, furniture carries culture and has rich historical and cultural connotations. Compared with general daily furniture, the cultural value of traditional furniture and mahogany furniture is often higher than its practical value. However, it is regrettable that for a long time, people have always regarded furniture as a kind of real thing, thus burying the meaning and value of furniture, and naturally hindering the development of furniture to a certain extent. This bias has caused a lot of damage in the appreciation of furniture.

Until recent decades, with the development of the economy, the progress of society, the improvement of people's living standards and the general improvement of cultural quality, people have gradually realized the cultural and artistic values ​​contained in furniture, making the appreciation of furniture a kind of appreciation. The trend has made furniture research a science, and it has also ushered in the spring of furniture development.
