Chinese style furniture

The composition of Chinese furniture mainly reflects the combination of traditional furniture with simple and smooth lines and exquisite internal design, or modern furniture and classical furniture, with dark colors as the mainstay and rich books. China ancient furniture experienced a period of rapid development in Song and Ming Dynasties. In modern times, people's ideas, living habits and methods of using furniture have changed greatly, and the development of furniture must also adapt to the changing needs. New Chinese furniture is a new furniture design style, which inherits classical elements. It is contemporary furniture with oriental charm of China designed according to the characteristics of contemporary life and contemporary aesthetic requirements.

Song style furniture

Compared with the prosperity of Han and Tang Dynasties and the splendor of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Song Wenhua is the golden age in the academic history of China, which has made unprecedented achievements and dominated the development of national culture for the next thousand years.

Song Dynasty is an important development period in the history of furniture in China, and it is also an important period for China people to change from sitting on the floor to sitting on their feet. The living style of ancestors for thousands of years has experienced the influence of Buddhism in Han Dynasty, the ethnic integration in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the frequent appearance of high-type furniture in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, which fundamentally impacted the old custom of sitting on the floor. With the custom of sitting with feet down, the influence of high seats is gradually deepening and expanding. On the other hand, due to the economic development and urban prosperity in Song Dynasty, officials, nobles and wealthy businessmen dajia competed to build luxury houses and gardens. The prosperity of the furniture industry will naturally arise. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, high-style furniture developed greatly, and sitting with feet down completely replaced sitting on the floor. Great changes in the way of life in China's history have been completely completed. Today, we re-examine the source of life aesthetics in Song Dynasty. In addition to a deeper understanding of the main body of the formation of the Song Dynasty's thoughts, which changed from flashy to quiet, it also includes the Neo-Confucianism spirit of Taoism and Buddhism, the art of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty, which has been passed down from China culture for thousands of years, and the contents conveyed by different utensils.

Hardwood Ming style furniture

1the end of the 6th century to1the beginning of the 7th century was the prosperous period of the market culture in Ming dynasty. Although the northern society was in turmoil at that time, houses, gardens and palaces were being built in the southern region far from the smoke. As the main daily necessities and furnishings in the room, the demand for furniture has greatly increased. At this time, the design and production level of Soviet-style furniture and Cantonese-style furniture reached its peak, and at the same time, it also created the glory of Ming Dynasty furniture. Especially in the construction of private gardens in Suzhou, private gardens are cultural and social places for scholars to play chess, calligraphy and painting, and the owners of many private gardens are literati themselves. In this unique natural environment and cultural atmosphere, the literati's aesthetic concepts participate in the design of garden furniture, which determines the design style of Ming furniture.

From Ming-style furniture, we can feel a natural, elegant and simple design concept. Structurally, tenon-mortise structure is adopted, and different tenons and mortises are designed according to different parts, without nails and glue. In terms of material selection, I like natural high-quality wood. Because of its delicate texture, deep and elegant color, it has injected cultural connotation into furniture. For example, Huang Huali furniture has bright orange color and natural and beautiful wood grain, which is highly praised by literati in the Ming Dynasty. Huang Huali endowed furniture with simple, pure, concise, lively artistic temperament and beautiful form, which made furniture contain a sincere literati atmosphere. While rosewood is darker and cooler. Because it is suitable for fine decoration technology, it can cater to some dignitaries who advocate luxury and pursue wealth, but it is far from the aesthetic taste of Huang Huali furniture.

From the choice of wood, we can see two different cultural states, which has also become a special phenomenon of furniture culture. In decoration, the ancients combined natural things with human good wishes, and used rich imagination and beautiful meanings to run through popular mascots and auspicious patterns in furniture design. China advocates the code of conduct of modesty, courtesy, integrity and dignity. In modeling, Ming-style furniture is vigorous and refined, with smooth lines, moderate proportion, stability and generosity. In a sense, resting with Ming-style chairs may not be the best way, but it is more of a function of rest in ceremony, socialization and ethics. Ming-style chairs seem to care more about the cultural comfort of users.

Although modern Chinese furniture still uses precious wood such as rosewood, rosewood and iron rosewood, and still uses traditional manual skills in carving and painting, it is very different from traditional antique furniture. Modern Chinese furniture not only organically integrates the principles of ergonomics into traditional modeling, but also integrates some fashionable elements of Chinese and foreign furniture, taking into account the actual needs of modern people's lives. Therefore, although this kind of Chinese furniture is simple in appearance, all the functions of modern furniture are already available, which can completely meet people's convenient and comfortable life needs. Modern Chinese furniture has developed into a series of big families. Not only traditional round-backed chairs, long tables, embroidered piers and flower stands can still be seen everywhere, but also TV cabinets, telephone tables, sofas and bookcases used in modern families can still be found in Chinese furniture.

With the rise of China as a big country and the convening of the Olympic Games and World Expo, the "China element" has been widely used and swept the international fashion stage. Faced with the complex and gorgeous "features" of China and the repeated use of China elements in various products, people gradually get aesthetic fatigue. We can't help asking, are these things that have been passed down for 5 thousand years?

As a leading furniture enterprise in China, Haodian Workshop, which always takes "Let China Furniture Divide and Rule" as its cultural concept, has brought us new works that are eye-catching. In the past, the design style of Haodian Workshop was mainly modern Chinese style, which was a little neoclassical. This time, the theme furniture of "Chinatown" focuses on a group of orientals living in the west, expressing western culture, western fashion and western minimalist style from their traditional perspectives. This not only continues the post-modernism style of the Phoenix Legend series, but also integrates China elements into the current life and home mode. More importantly, it recreates western fashion with the essence of China complex and China culture, and injects more and more pure China soul into the design of modern furniture. /commentdetail.aspx？ id= 103088397。 projectid = 80200 & ampc=39

With the theme of "Phoenix", a traditional bird in China, and its mystery, auspiciousness and nobility as the theme, and based on the profound understanding of "Phoenix" in the traditional life culture of the East and the traditional culture of China, the designer repeatedly considered and refined the most representative elements such as phoenix tail pattern and phoenix feather pattern, and skillfully embellished them in the products, highlighting extraordinary artistic value and uniqueness.

In European countries, teak is used to make the most luxurious yachts. The deck of TIANIC (Titanic) is paved with teak; Hundreds of years old cathedrals and ancient buildings are also teak floors. In the west, especially in Europe, the use of teak furniture is a status symbol. In China, teak used to be mainly used for the decoration of hotels and villas.

"Ruyi Square" series products organically combine tradition with modernity, selectively extract elements of China traditional art design, and combine with the fashion trend of modern furniture to humanize elements representing China cultural spirit, such as Ruyi, Xiangrui and Moire, so that China traditional cultural elements can adapt to modern aesthetic needs and have a * * * effect with consumers, which is a reasonable inheritance and development of China traditional culture.

"Ruyifang" series products currently have three elements: wishful, auspicious and moire.

Ruyi: The word "Ruyi" comes from the Sanskrit "Ana Law" in India, which evolved from the ancient wat and the wand. It is one of the Buddhist musical instruments imported from India. The end of the handle is heart-shaped and made of bamboo, bone, copper and jade. When a mage lectures, he often holds a wishful handle and writes down scriptures on it for fear of forgetting. Also known as "ruler", "friend" or "talking handle", most of them are S-shaped, similar to the shape of the Big Dipper. Because the original prototype combined with Ruyi Head is bent and folded back, it is endowed with the auspicious meaning of "folding back to Ruyi". "A gentleman is better than jade", and the appearance of jade ruyi combines jade's unswerving virtue and ruyi's auspicious meaning, and has made a ruyi artifact with auspicious culture with China characteristics.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the wishful shape was mainly curved palm on the handle. In the Tang Dynasty, the handle developed into a flat body, the curved part at the top evolved into a neck, and the handle head was in the shape of three cirrus clouds. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Ruyi reached its peak, which was popular because of its precious materials and exquisite craftsmanship. Ruyi, with Ganoderma lucidum as its main shape, has been endowed with the meaning of auspiciousness and exorcism, and has become a valuable gift bearing good wishes such as praying for peace. Courtiers often offer blessings to congratulate royal family members on their birthdays, and royal family members also give blessings to princes and ministers. Ruyi has gradually become a symbol of power and wealth in the upper class. In the late Ming Dynasty, Ruyi became the research object of literati who advocated ancient style because of its unique elegance.

Auspicious omen, also known as "Fu Rui", refers to the patterns transformed from various mascots developed from ancient totems in China traditional culture, which are used to refer to beautiful meanings or auspicious symbols. Confucianism believes that it is a natural phenomenon that expresses providence and is beneficial to people. There are many kinds of good omen in ancient times, which can be roughly divided into five categories, that is, five grades. It was called "Lin Feng Wuling, King Jia Rui" in ancient times. It is the highest auspicious symbol. The "Five Spirits" are "Kirin, Phoenix, Turtle, Dragon and White Tiger." The following are Da Rui, Shang Rui, Zhong Rui and Xia Rui.

For example, "Dragon", a totem worshipped by the Chinese nation since ancient times, is regarded as the God of China. Legend has it that the dragon is the head of the forest worm, which can urge the rain, benefit all things, make the weather favorable and have plenty of food and clothing, so it is one of the five spirits. There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "The flying dragon is in the sky, and the cow is three." Later used as a metaphor for the monarch. So all kinds of objects decorated with dragon patterns are dedicated to the emperor. "Phoenix": the king of birds, used to symbolize Wade, a wise monarch with beautiful feathers. A symbol of a better life, usually expressing good wishes through form or meaning. "Kirin", the legendary god beast or benevolent beast. Historical records? In Biography of Sima Xiangru, Fu Lin said: "Animals have scales. Male awkward, female Lin. Its shape is a corner of the oxtail and the dome. " Metaphor is an outstanding person. Bat: The word "bat" is homophonic with the word "fu", which means good luck. Five Blessingg stands for "blessing, luck, longevity, happiness and wealth". /commentdetail.aspx？ id= 102533237。 projectid = 80200 & ampc=48

Moire: "Moire" has always been one of the favorite decorative patterns of the Chinese nation. In the concept of the ancients, "cloud" and "qi" are actually one, with the same meaning. This kind of natural gas is regarded by our ancestors as the life quality and origin of all things in the universe. It embodies the Chinese nation's understanding of the universe and contains the Chinese nation's cultural concept and aesthetic spirit.

In the process of application, "moire" has undergone different evolution. The philosophy of Qi Theory regards the Avenue of the Universe as a gasification, popularization and endless cultural concept, which makes Yun Sheng, which is natural, have humanistic significance. In China people's minds, moire is the carrier and symbol of vitality, spirituality, spirit and auspiciousness. Yun Leiwen, the earliest bronze ware of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, evolved into cirrus, straight moire, thunder ripple and water ripple. Xiangyun was also used in the design of the torch for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
