When we were children, we all memorized Li Shangyin's "Chang'e", in which there is a line "Mica screen with deep candlelight shadows, the long river gradually sets and the stars sink." It mentions a traditional Chinese furniture - screen, which originated in the last week period and is still loved by some families in modern times.

The Development Process of Traditional Chinese Culture Craftsmanship

Screen, as a practical furniture, first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the screen was called "mansion" or "bamboo". It is a tool exclusively for the emperor. There is also a record in the Records of the Grand Historian: 'The emperor stood on the screen.'. It is framed in wood, eight feet high, mounted on crimson silk, embroidered with axe patterns, with white painted near the axe shaped edge and black painted on the rest, symbolizing imperial power. In addition, during the Winter Solstice Festival, the Zhou emperor set up an imperial mansion behind his back, which was decorated with phoenix feathers, also referring to a screen that had undergone some decoration.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, almost wealthy families used screens, and their forms increased compared to previous generations. The original single fan screen has developed into a curved screen composed of multiple screens, which can be stacked and opened and closed. Before the Han Dynasty, screens were mostly painted on wooden boards, and since the invention of papermaking, they have mostly been made of paper paste.

In the Song Dynasty, the usage rate of screens greatly increased. In addition to the large screens used for home furnishings, small screens can often be seen next to furniture such as sleeping mats and beds, and even some outdoor spaces may have screens installed. During this period, the craftsmanship of screens became more exquisite and unique, with greater progress in form, divided into single screen and multi screen styles. The materials used for production also favored stone with natural beauty and better texture.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, screens transitioned from practicality to decoration. Screens were no longer simply objects of shielding, but evolved into highly decorative works of art that were more aesthetically pleasing. For example, after the Ming Dynasty, hanging screens appeared, which exceeded the practicality of screens and became purely decorative items.

With the development of time, screens have evolved from simple decorations to precious cultural relics carrying profound cultural connotations and artistic values, reflecting the development process of traditional Chinese culture and craftsmanship.

The exploration boundary of the screen is not limited to this

Copper, known as the "auspicious gold" since ancient times, has been passed down for 5000 years. Copper is not only a symbol of national confidence, but also carries rich historical and cultural heritage.

In ancient times, copper was widely used in palaces, temples, and important buildings to demonstrate nobility and power. Along with it, in addition to exquisite craftsmanship, there are also exquisite patterns and stories carved on copper products, reflecting the artistic style and cultural traditions of the time. Until modern times, copper products still represent identity and nobility.
