Hardwood furniture has been well developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, using high-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, red sandalwood , boxwood, huanghuali, beech, and iron pear as raw materials. At that time, it could be divided into Beijing style, sea style, Cantonese style, Su style and so on. So far, various regions continue to promote traditional craftsmanship and produce many high-grade hardwood furniture, mainly for foreign trade export and domestic hotels.
People in the industry said that in a narrow sense, hardwood furniture is environmentally friendly furniture . Among them, the more famous one is Beijing hardwood furniture, which was used for official rooms in the past. In the Ming Dynasty, the “royal supervisor†and the Qing Dynasty ’s “manufacturing office†used to store precious wood in the world, bringing together master craftsmen from north and south to serve the palace. This has led to the rapid development of Beijing hardwood furniture. The production of folk hardwood furniture in Beijing is best known for the "Luban Pavilion" outside the Chongwen Gate of the Qing Dynasty. In order to show the beauty of the wood itself, Beijing hardwood furniture is generally not painted, but polished and waxed using traditional techniques to make it smooth and bright like a mirror. Beijing hardwood furniture also combines cloisonne, marble and other crafts to increase artistic appeal.
In a broad sense, the so-called hardwood is scientifically expressed as a wood with a specific gravity greater than 1 and sinking into the water. The peak of the ancient Chinese furniture material culture formed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no evidence to prove that there were hardwood furniture before the late Ming Dynasty. It has a lot to do with the tool revolution tomorrow night. The emergence of flat wood tool planes made the Chinese begin to use hardwood, that is, wood such as Huanghuali and red sandalwood.
Industry insiders say that only the Chinese nation has used hardwood as furniture in the world so far. The Chinese consider the design at a low level, and the material at a high level, with the material first. Just like we do n’t want to mix other metals in gold, we need 24K pure gold. If it ’s 18K, it ’s not good. This is the most simple concept. Therefore, if hardwood is used in modern hotel furniture, the material is naturally not said. .
Hardwood was rarely used in ancient times, so there are not many hardwood villas that can be left. In general, hardwood villa furniture is more common. Hardwood materials are not suitable for building houses. Hardwood shrinks particularly hard. Building a house is particularly easy to shrink. You can only make furniture. Only Hainanese build houses with hardwood. Hainan itself is very tidal, and the wood does not swell much. Generally speaking, we can't see houses built with such hardwoods in the mountains and the interior.
Here, experts are invited to resolve a misunderstanding of most consumers. Many consumers mistakenly think that the harder wood is more resistant to decay. In fact, hard wood is not as decay-resistant as softwood. Many legs of Huanghuali tables and chairs are against the wall It's not rotten at all.
Nowadays, Hainan Huanghuali, as mentioned in the market, has no evidence to prove that it was used in ancient furniture. The climate of Hainan is harsher than that of land. Huanghua pear grows relatively slowly on the island, and the texture will be more flowery. The texture of the Vietnamese yellow pear is relatively clean. And the ancient Huanghuali furniture we saw did not have very flowery textures.
There are two problems in the historical use of Hainan Huanghuali that are difficult to solve: First, it is difficult to transport out of Qiongzhou Strait. In ancient times, no one transported wood by boat. They all used a raft to run down the water. Huanghuali is a hardwood that sinks in water. Second, places like Hainan are very prone to typhoons. Any tree that can grow up is easy to fold. The trees on the Xisha Islands are all Jatropha curcas. No matter how thick it grows, it folds on the wind and the wind grows again. If it doesn't break, it has to be uprooted. So hardwood like Huanghuali, which cannot be broken, will not grow. The subspecies of Huanghua pear used in the past should have been in a subtropical area, but it was cut down and extinct. Where is this area? It is not excluded in a certain area of ​​Vietnam. The extinction of species is actually very easy, especially the extinction of subspecies.
This special Huanghua pear was discovered by a literati in the late Ming Dynasty. Its texture is flowing and flowing, very comfortable; its material is oily and satin-like luster shines after polishing. For it, ancient times did not use lacquer, use wax. So Huanghuali furniture offers many possibilities: it can be very beautiful without paint. Compared with poplar and willow, Huanghuali is definitely a scarce resource, but it is not as difficult as imagined. Now some people in Hainan plant such trees in pieces. If it can grow forty or fifty centimeters thick in half a century and has such a high value, of course some people are willing to plant them. (Editor: Peter)
