The concept of Chinese furniture in Qing dynasty to be understood by the retro style

When describing Qing Dynasty furniture , we must first clarify three concepts: (1) Ming Dynasty furniture; (2) Ming style furniture; (3) imitation furniture. The furniture of the Ming Dynasty, the time index originated from this particular historical period of the Ming Dynasty. Ming-style furniture is furniture that specifies the style of modern furniture. It can be produced in the Ming Dynasty or in the Qing Dynasty. Imitation furniture refers to modern imitation furniture of the Ming Dynasty.

Why should we clarify this problem? This is because the ancient furniture in China is a complete continuous process. The Song furniture, Ming furniture, or Qing furniture we usually refer to are furniture of this period or representatives of this period. works. The development of craftsmanship cannot be as easy to be replaced as it must be replaced, it has a continuity. For example, Ming-style furniture has continued from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. The period from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty was the era when China's ancient furniture peaked, and most of the Ming Dynasty furniture that has survived today is actually produced in that period. If we call it “Furniture of Ming Dynasty”, it is obviously inaccurate. The correct name should be “Ming Style Furniture” which lasted for a long time. It is a Ming style, such as a table for eating in the kitchen. Its style is all Ming style, and its height is similar to the case. There are also tall cabinets, circle chairs, benches, and coffee tables , all of which are Ming-style furniture made of beech wood. In recent years, Chinese old furniture has become popular, and many people in Shanghai doing this business have gone to North Jiangsu to purchase goods. It is said that many real Ming-style Huanghuali furniture was found there.

The simplicity, simplicity, elegance, and elegance of Ming-style furniture were the products of that period. It was the result of the participation of Chinese literati and the clever integration of traditional culture. Its beautiful line, quiet color, round physique, soft feel, and comfortable practical value are all manifestations of the Chinese Confucian cultural spirit. Therefore, when we review the history of Chinese furniture today, we have to sincerely admire it. We know that any historical relics and collections are carriers of historical culture. Ming-style furniture is such an artwork soaked in Chinese traditional culture.

The Qing Dynasty furniture now refers to the furniture produced after Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, according to the consensus of the history and collection circles. As an art, the Qing Dynasty furniture replaced the concise, elegant, quaint, and Wenxiu book style of Ming-style furniture with its splendid, luxurious, and rich wealth, thus forming its own face and characteristics. Therefore, we can judge that this is Ming-style only by looking at it today, because it is Qing-style, because the styles of furniture in these two historical periods are very different. However, the furniture of these two periods has a common feature, that is, both use high-quality hardwood as the material.
