Ma Weidu said an interesting thing in the "Baijia Forum": There is an advertising company that wants to hire a CEO to advertise in the newspaper and invite "Who will take this chair", but unfortunately, the picture shows a rose chair. Unlike the "cross chair" which symbolizes the status of the top leader, the rose chair has a lower status in ancient times and is the exclusive chair for the lady's boudoir. The advertisement therefore made a joke that "no culture is terrible".  The rose chair is a short shape (mainly the backrest is relatively short), the armrest and the upper end of the backrest are not pointed out, and the side of the backrest and armrest is perpendicular to the seat drawer. Why is it called the rose chair? This is an unsolved mystery in the history of Chinese furniture . It may be wrongly written, and the origin of the name is yet to be tested. Therefore, most people speculate from its name, thinking that it is related to the female boudoir furnishings, but there is no final conclusion. | "Rose Chair" |  There are two kinds of statements about the "rose chair". Statement 1: Take the word "rose" from "jade culture"  "Rose" refers to "colored stones" in the Kangxi dictionary, as in "Shuowen": The beauty of rose and stone; the beauty of rose and pearl. That is to say, "rose" is the most beautiful in jade, "rose" is the most beautiful in jewelry, and later rose and rose often refer to beautiful jade. British collector Frakes old Tibetan beech rose chair part Statement 2: "Beauty Ghost Chair"  In the north, "ghost" can sometimes be described as cute, and this chair is small and handsome, so it is called "beautiful ghost chair".  In the ancient northern folk, it was said that the "Beautiful Ghost Chair" (beautiful little chair) was seated by women (especially young ladies) because ancient times were very particular about etiquette. The height of the backrest of the chair where people of different positions sit is different, and the height of the backrest gradually decreases with the level from high to low. Women's status is relatively low, so they can only sit on this "beautiful ghost chair" with a low back and a small and light weight.  But later, because "beautiful ghost" and "rose" are a bit homophonic, and the word "rose" has an intimate relationship with women, it seems that it can also show women's ingenious beauty and 10,000 styles, so " "Ghost Chair" was later renamed "Rose Chair". British collector Frakes old Tibetan beech rose chair  Most of the armchairs with low backs in Jiangnan area are used by literati, so they are often called "literary chairs" . Although the Ming literati improved the armrests of this low-back armchair, they also liked to sit and write and communicate on this chair. But because of its special political and economic status, it is clear that sitting on this armchair with lower backrest does not match its identity. Therefore, they are more inclined to sit in the Nanguan hat chair with their backs on the left and right and the front of the armrests. Late Ming Dynasty Huanghuali Zan back Nanguan hat chair In order to avoid confusion in the naming, the Nanguan hat chair is called the "wen chair", and the low back armchairs are collectively called the "rose chair".  The beautiful name and the mysterious origin of the name make the rose chair the most beautiful and romantic one among the Ming Dynasty furniture.  | Heritage Song Style |  Although the origin of the name of the rose chair is not recorded, it appeared earlier. A chair similar to this type of chair appeared in the literati paintings of the Song Dynasty, but only a slight change. For example, "Eighteen Bachelor's Picture " in the Song Dynasty : The picture clearly depicts two chairs with the same shape. Their common characteristics are that the armrests are flush with the backrest, and they are relatively low, only reaching the waist of the person, and just enough to support the elbow of the person. On the armrest.  This kind of chair appeared repeatedly in the paintings of the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that it was a very popular chair form at that time, and it was still used until the Ming Dynasty. See "The Ancient Picture of Bamboo Garden" by Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty:  Also in the " Eighteen Bachelor Pictures", a chair made of Xiangfei bamboo appeared, which is basically the same as the two chairs in front: The backrest, armrests and chair surface are perpendicular to each other, but the backrest is slightly higher than the armrests, and the backboard is added. The design clearly begins to take into account the need for people to rely on the back.  The so-called armchairs of the Song Dynasty were small and compact, and were initially pedaled, which was related to the Song people's craving for comfort, so that their feet could be more comfortable. But later, because the pedal is not conducive to moving, and the literati and Mok often communicate with each other, and the pedal also affects the sitting, so the pedal will be from scratch to scratch.  | Popular Yu Ming | | Inheriting Song Style In the Ming Dynasty, the literati deliberately pursued Jane Yuan ’s elegant and leisurely life, and paid attention to the artistic details of life. These details included every move of the person and every detail of using utensils.
