Where does the charm of Ming style furniture span time and space come from? When we are immersed in Ming furniture, what kind of aesthetics do we care about?
This traditional art form from the East resonates with modernist aesthetics
The fascinating Ming-style furniture refers to furniture products with good workmanship from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. They are like a combination of perfect proportions, styles, and work. They are simple, elegant, subtle, and exquisite, and become an art form with oriental philosophical beauty.
The artistic status of Ming style furniture was first established in the West. In 1944, the German scholar Gustav Aike's "Chinese rosewood furniture map" collected and painted a number of excellent examples of Chinese hardwood furniture, and became the pioneering work of modern and modern Ming furniture research. "It does not wear camouflage at all, showing a pure beauty, and respect for the material" "to create a simple and calm and extraordinary", Ike in the book describes Chinese hardwood furniture represented by Ming furniture. It is this book that makes the world discover "the perfection of the mystery", thus opening up the chase of the collectors, the furniture, architecture, cultural relics, interior design, history and other fields pay attention to it. .
Since the publication of the cultural relics Wang Shizhen’s "Ming-style furniture treasures" in 1985, Ming-style furniture has really become a lively event in China. This is the first Ming furniture monograph written in Chinese. Four years later, Wang Shizhen built a basic system of related research with a nearly 300,000 words and more than 700 pictures of Ming-style Furniture Research. Through its analysis and induction, the face of Ming-style furniture was first and foremost presented in front of people's eyes. It was divided into categories, then divided into varieties, and the same variety of utensils were arranged, starting from the most basic shape, from simple to complex until it changed. body. The "16 products" of the Ming-style furniture boutiques listed in the book, such as concise, simple, dignified and solemn, have already become important guidelines for people to appreciate Ming-style furniture. Since then, the research and collection of Ming-style furniture has entered an unprecedented peak.
Ming style furniture is not accidental inside and outside the sea. In the eyes of scholars, the wisdom of the former people's furniture, the simplicity and simplicity of the Ming style furniture, and the modernist aesthetics, especially the minimalist aesthetics, resonate with each other, and both pursue a fresh, elegant, scientific and practical design. thought. For example, in the style, Ming style furniture emphasizes the beauty of lines, and the lines and lines are rich in coherence and interspersed to outline the body space, full of philosophical charm, and the turning and turning are more practical and decent. When Wang Shizhen commented on a Ming Dynasty huanghuali four-headed armchair, he once said: "If you look at the side of the chair, you can see the curve of the human body from the hip to the neck." The furniture often chooses high-quality wood such as huanghuali wood, emphasizing the simplification of the material, and making full use of the material texture of the material to restore the beauty of the material. The structural rationality even makes Ming furniture rich in the beauty of science and technology. In this regard, the collector Ma Wei has cited two cases - one case is a chair, the lower half and the upper half pay attention to the wood, the advantage is that the solid is not easy to loose; the other is the case furniture, regardless of the internal structure of the insert The shoulders are still the chin, and the pressure is getting tighter and tighter. It is commonly known as the "Wan Nian Prison". These aesthetics are actually quite in line with the aesthetic trend of modern people. Many collectors have found that Ming-style furniture is still comfortable and coordinated in modern space, and it can even withstand various fashion changes. In front of the "Fifth Avenue" in New York, An Si displayed a lot of Ming-style furniture, which was amazing across the oriental and western culture, classical and modern culture.
More attention than the beauty of artifacts is the implicit attitude of life and human spirit.
“The spacious central hall is supported by two rows of high pillars; the left and right sides, or the east and west sides are the slits created by the cabinet wood, with soft silk curtains hanging behind them. The walls and cylinders are paste There are wallpapers. The black tiles on the ground are polished. With this dark background, the furniture is placed in a regular layout. The amber or purple of the rosewood furniture, the expensive carpet and the felt or embroidered The sleek and soft colors of the satin chair cover cushions are very harmonious. The interior of the room is carefully arranged with calligraphy and famous paintings hanging on the base of the red paint. The blue and white porcelain or the bronze that has turned green for a long time. The window blocks the glare of the day. At night, the candlelight and the corner lights fuse the various colors into a wonderfully harmonious glory." Ike's book on the Chinese rosewood furniture map is a section of the home environment of Ming Dynasty furniture. Tracing, in fact, implies such a representative information--when many people fall in love with Ming-style furniture, they are not only devoted to the beauty of simple objects, but also their masters--the poetry of Chinese traditional literati
The ancient Chinese literati, such as Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, poetry, tea wine, etc., cultivated the mind and cultivated the sentimental lifestyle as the voice-over of Ming style furniture. For example, the fragrance is born in the elegant taste of the literati, who burns incense and smells the fragrance. It is small and transparent, and has a slender "squat". Another example is the use of decorations such as vases in halls or entrances.
Some researchers have pointed out that the aesthetics of life infiltrated by Ming-style furniture inherits the tradition of the cultivation of ancient Chinese literati aesthetics and is intriguing. It is not an extravagant and stimulating pursuit of beauty, but it is regarded in the book "The Long History", which is regarded as the model of the aesthetics of the literati life in the Ming Dynasty. "Ninggu is timeless, Ningpu is incompetent, and Ning is unconventional" .
It is not difficult to find out that the Ming furniture, which is a daily sitting and lying device, does not aim to relax the body. Instead, it reminds people of the correct form and thus leads to the spiritual introspection of the person. Take the most representative Ming furniture, the ring chair, for example. Its seat plate is quite large, which is not conducive to the back of the back. People can't sit in a slack posture, let alone “Ge You Liâ€. This is actually the original intention of the design of the circle chair, the center of gravity falls on the thigh instead of the buttocks, and people need to sit. So constructed, but quite ergonomic, the entire thigh and the buttocks support the body, reducing the weight of the head on the spine and maintaining the integrity of the spine. In such a chair, people can sit for a long time without feeling tired and feel comfortable and quiet at all times.
In the opinion of experts, this subtle spiritual pleasure in Ming furniture is worthy of admiration.
