The cultural charm of Chinese classical furniture

Ming style furniture has eternal cultural value

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan area centered on Suzhou became the most affluent area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, where a large number of dignitaries and literati were concentrated. They are all Chinese intellectuals who have a certain economic foundation, have a very high educational background, and are very leisurely. They have their own unique aesthetic taste for the most important part of home life. It is precisely because these scholars personally participated in the design and integrated their aesthetics into the furniture works, we were able to see the Ming style furniture that is elegant, smooth, natural and comfortable, well structured and individualized. Those smooth lines often reflect the free spirits of the literati. The Ming style furniture is mostly made of natural natural texture, natural scented huanghuali or chicken wing wood. It is slightly engraved and decorated, just like a beautiful girl, only applying light makeup, which is consistent with the aesthetic taste of the literati at that time.

If, before the Ming Dynasty, furniture was only used as a utility in people's lives, then after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the furniture had completed a transformation. For the first time, furniture not only serves as a utility, but also as an aesthetic object, giving the appreciation function as a work of art and entering people's lives. This is a revolution in the development of furniture. We can use furniture art to refer to furniture. Ming-style furniture has an eternal cultural value.

Qing style furniture is another peak of Chinese classical furniture

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the political situation was stable, economic development, and cultural prosperity. Classical furniture also completed the transition from Ming style furniture to Qing style furniture during this period.

The change in furniture during this period was first of all material. The reddish color and the fine material of the red sandalwood become the basic material of the court furniture. Second, it is the transformation of the standard. Qing style furniture no longer pays attention to the emphasis of the Ming style furniture, the dexterity of flying, but the size of the furniture is large, calm and heavy, to show the majesty and solemnity of the royal family.

The red sandalwood became the special wood for the palace furniture. For a time, the Qing Dynasty popularized “the expensive black is not expensive yellow”. The Huanghuali furniture was retired among residents, although it is still an important furniture material, but most of them are the popular method of Qing style.

In the judgment of the modern furniture industry, there is a clear gap between Qing style furniture and Ming style home. Qing style furniture is often criticized as a pile of carvings, the form of the hustle and bustle, is the retrogression of Chinese classical furniture. According to the author, Qing style furniture is not a retrogression of Chinese classical furniture, but a peak of Chinese classical furniture. The reasons are as follows:

1. Qing style furniture fully demonstrates the values ​​of Chinese people. From the various carvings and patterns of Qing style furniture, we noticed that in addition to aesthetics, there are various implications. For example, the dragon and phoenixes symbolize the dragon and the phoenix, the bats are rich, the grapes are many, the magpies are happy, the fish is more than a year old, the pine cranes are old, the lotus is clean, the peony is rich, and the plums are popular. Festival, and so on. In short, the various values ​​of the up-and-coming officials and down to the people of the city, with various artistic images, are implicitly and comprehensively reflected.

2, Qing style furniture uses the most extensive performance theme. It can be said that Qing style furniture is all-encompassing in the use of the theme, from the world to the earth, the mountains and rivers, the rivers and rivers, the birds and beasts, the flowers and fish, the trees and bamboo grass, are all brought by the artists. This kind of free use of the subject matter, free to play, and reach a hearty situation, is extremely rare in other forms of furniture.

3. Qing style furniture provides the most extensive world for art creation in various industries. In the Qing style furniture, all walks of life can be seen to participate in the production. Wood carvings, jade carvings, stone carvings, gemstone inlays, snails, cymbals, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and bronze work, all talents from all walks of life come here to display their talents. In modern terms, a pillar industry like furniture has driven many related industries and provided many job opportunities.

In terms of artistic creation, Qing style furniture is unparalleled in terms of breadth and depth.

Create a brilliant Chinese classical furniture

Chinese classical furniture is a treasure of Chinese culture. Ming-style furniture and Qing-style furniture are an inseparable whole, and they are the relationship between the front and the back. Ming style furniture introduces art aesthetics into the manufacture of furniture and enhances furniture as art. Qing style furniture brings artistic creation to an unprecedented height. Separating the two, with personal preference or aesthetics, thick and thin, or thick and thin, is not a complete and accurate understanding of Chinese classical furniture. Ming style and Qing style furniture are important contributions made by the Chinese nation to the world culture, and they are also the treasures of Chinese culture.

The profound cultural heritage of Chinese classical furniture makes it a super vitality. Ming-style furniture first benefited from the love of Westerners, and the rescuing collection of the old gentleman such as Wang Shizhen made it the first to revive. Nowadays, Chinese classical furniture has been fully revived, and no one has ever used his mahogany furniture to change Western-style sofas. In the foreseeable future, Chinese classical furniture must be brilliant.
