The introduction of the four characteristics of "fine and simple" furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties

 

Regarding the characteristics of furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties , the usual expressions are "fine", "smart", "simplified" and "elegant". Therefore, it is often used as a criterion for distinguishing furniture from the Ming Dynasty and the former Qing Dynasty.

 

 

Sophisticated, that is, excellent material selection, superb production. The materials used in Ming-style furniture are mostly hardwoods with high texture, fine texture and deep color, such as Huanghuali, red sandalwood and iron pear wood. In the process, the tenon and mortise structure is adopted, and the reasonable connection makes the furniture solid, firm and unchanged for a long time. Due to the slow growth of red sandalwood, yellow pear and iron pear wood, these materials were increasingly scarce after a lot of logging in the Ming Dynasty, and these woods were very difficult to find until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Therefore, the furniture after the Qing Dynasty has undergone fundamental changes in materials. To identify and distinguish whether it is furniture of the Ming Dynasty, the review of materials is crucial.

 

Ingenuity means ingenious production and ingenious design. The modeling structure of the Ming Dynasty furniture attaches great importance to matching with the hall building. The overall configuration of the furniture itself is also orderly and very harmonious. The display in the hall has a clever role in decorating the environment and filling the space.

 

Jane, that is, the shape is simple and the lines are smooth. Furniture is a plastic art. Although the style of the furniture of the Ming Dynasty was varied and often changed, there was a basic point, that is, conciseness. Some people likened him to the painting of the Eight Great Mountain People, which was concise, clear and general. Several lines and combined shapes give people the artistic effect of calmness and beauty, simplicity and stability, openness and etherealness.

 

Elegance, that is, the style is fresh and elegant. Elegance is a culture, a realm of beauty. Because many literati and painters living in Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty directly participated in the design and production of furniture, and the craftsmen also catered to the elegant taste of literati, so gradually formed the "elegant" character of Ming-style furniture. The elegance is reflected in the furniture, that is, it is simple in shape, simple in decoration, and fresh and natural in color, and there is no fraud. (Editor: Peter)
