When the red sandalwood meets the court, it gradually forms the distinctive style of the royal furniture. The palace red sandalwood furniture has become a singularity in the treasure house of the world art, shining the brilliance of the Chinese civilization and blooming the brilliance of Chinese culture.
Â
  Red sandalwood is a very valuable wood. Because it grows slowly, it can't be grown for hundreds of years. The color of the rosewood is heavy, steady and elegant, and the wood is hard and compact. It is suitable for carving all kinds of exquisite patterns. Therefore, it is regarded as the best in the wood, and even has the saying of “one inch of rosewood and one inch of goldâ€. The ancient Chinese understanding and use of red sandalwood began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Jin Dynasty Cui Bao "Ancient and Modern Note": "Purple eucalyptus, out of Funan, color purple, also known as red sandalwood."
Â
   The use of red sandalwood in the ancient Chinese courts was well documented and should be in the Tang Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty Li Wei, "The Old Man of the Rings of the Rings" records: "Tang Wu's post-animal white parrot, the name of the snow-coat, the spirit of wisdom, can be a heart of a volume. After the love, stored in a golden cage, not left and right. One day play:" If you want to take off, when you release the cage. 'If the snowsuit is like a leaping, you must recite it: '憔悴秋翎 is a vulture, don’t come to the banyan tree when it’s old. If you open a cage, you can read the snow. Guanshiyin '. After the hi, that is to start the cage." Later, this pet is unfortunately dead, Wu Zetian grief, the special craftsman made a small and exquisite rosewood coffin, buried this white parrot in the Royal Garden. It can be seen that the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty have been able to use the red sandalwood to create such delicate objects. A piece of rosewood inlaid in the Japanese warehouse, it is said to be a relic of the Tang Dynasty.
Â
  In the Yuan Dynasty, red sandalwood became an important material for architecture and furniture production in the palace. In the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a palace called “Purple Sandal Palaceâ€, which was designed with exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship. The building materials used were precious rosewoods brought back from Ma Baer, ​​the southern part of India, by Yuan Shizu. According to the record of "Nan Cun Gong Geng Lu", in the Yanchun Pavilion in the court of the Yuan Dynasty, there is also a "red sandalwood", which is the first record in the ancient Chinese literature that the rosewood is a seat.
Â
  In the Ming Dynasty, the red sandalwood began to enter the home of the sect, and the rosewood furniture and stationery appeared in the literati study. Before the Qing Dynasty, due to the scarcity of domestic rosewood, it was rare to see large pieces of rosewood furniture.
Â
  In the history of Chinese furniture development, the real use of red sandalwood furniture was in the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, with the extensive use of this wood, the classical furniture craftsmanship also reached its peak. If the explanatory furniture is to win with a simple shape, then the Qing style furniture pays more attention to the artificial carving and decoration. After the Qing Dynasty, due to the tireless efforts of several generations of emperors such as Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the social economy was unprecedentedly prosperous in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the national treasury was full. As a result, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty can provide enough funds to meet the living expenses of all kinds of paper drunken fans, whether it is gold and silver jewelry, daily necessities, etc. are extremely extravagant, and furniture that is indispensable for daily living is no exception.
Â
  Due to the vast territory and the increasing foreign trade, the high-quality timber in the Nanyang region has continuously flowed into the territory, providing sufficient raw materials for the Qing Dynasty furniture production . At the same time, the development of handicrafts in the early Qing Dynasty and the development of the rulers and the great mentality of the rulers The production of rosewood furniture has also played a role in fueling the situation.
Â
  From the early Qing Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, many rare things that were rare in the Ming Dynasty were brought together in the palace, such as Xinjiang jade, Burma, corals in the sea, car channels, rhinoceros ivory in the distance, and western glass, mirrors, etc. All need a kind of calm wood to set off, and the rosewood is especially valued by the Emperor's House for its unique attributes. At this time, the West was in the Renaissance of Louis XIV and Louis XV, and the Baroque and Rococo styles became popular, affecting Europe and the United States. The craftsmanship of Baroque's finely crafted and inlaid gold inlaid silver also affects the Qing Dynasty court furniture that is under development. The wood required for this craft style is the sandstone with firm texture and firm texture.
Â
  At the same time, the spiritual needs of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty also made the rosewood furniture popular in the court. The Qing Dynasty was the period when the Chinese imperial power system reached its peak. The court was ruthless and rudimentary. The Qing emperors, regardless of their intelligence, were mostly rigorous and safe, and they also attached great importance to trivial matters. This is in stark contrast to the mentality of some emperors who like to play in the Ming Dynasty. The characteristics of the red sandalwood, which is unscrupulous and steady and solemn, just cater to the psychological needs of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty paid special attention to the red sandalwood.
