The origin of woodcarving screen

As an elegant decoration, the screen can beautify the lobby and change the feng shui pattern at the same time. It is a popular decoration in government agencies, factories and mines, military schools, scientific research institutes, hotels and other decorations.

The screen has flexible physical properties, which can change the quantity and flow direction of gas in the room and activate the gas field.

According to the theory of geomantic omen, the screen is the only way to enter the office, reception room and conference room. From the outside, it is a buffer zone that enters all parts of the office building. It makes the entrant calm down, and it is also the only way to introduce air into the room. The screen of the office hall not only has the geomantic function of preventing leakage and blocking evil spirits, but also has the function of decoration and beautification, so the setting can directly affect the luck of the staff in the building, especially the owners.

Screen, the furniture used for wind protection in ancient buildings, is called "wind protection". At first, the screen was specially designed behind the emperor's throne. It was called "axe and graupel".

The ancients had a soft spot for woodcarving screens. In addition to exquisite craftsmanship, the woodcarving screen is endowed with special cultural connotation.

According to historical records, Emperor Taizong once put his book of governing the country on the screen, thinking that he was encouraging himself and warning people; Some people have painted the deeds of famous emperors and generals or famous virtuous women on the screen, which played a role in praise and preaching. There are even people who admire art and carve poems on solid wood screens. This fashion is clearly reflected in the famous painting Han Xizai's Night Banquet, in which there is a big screen painted with mountains and rivers.

After a long development, the screen has spread to the halls, halls and rooms of party and government organs, factories and mines, scientific research institutes, military schools and hotels, and has become an important part of modern interior decoration.

Woodcarving screens are generally displayed in a prominent position indoors, which plays the role of separation, shelter, beautification, wind protection and coordination, and integrates practicality and appreciation.
