Since ancient times, screens, as the most important indoor furniture, have the following functions.
One: Memo reminder. Similar to the role of modern whiteboard. In ancient times, people used to write some important information on the screen to remind their owners at any time.
Two: symbolizing power. In the past, whenever there was an important event, the host had to put a screen behind him. "The son of heaven should stand by and watch", and this "by" is the screen. The word "fu" in the official residence originally refers to wooden boards, not screens. At present, the state guests in Zhongnanhai met with the leaders, and there was a screen behind them.
Three: wind evil. Ancient houses were not as sealed as they are now, and there were often water currents and small evil winds blowing through them. Standing in the air duct with a screen can alleviate the suffocation of air flow.
Screen not only has the function of improving geomantic omen and making money, but also has the function of decoration and beautification.
