The moral of nave's four-piece suit of Laoyumu is nobility, elegance, health and longevity. Because in our traditional culture, people attach great importance to self-humility and sincere hospitality, so a set of etiquette system is derived from seating. In terms of etiquette, according to the traditional custom, the right host, the left guest or the left is the top, and the right is the bottom. Both the elders and the current curtain need to be seated in order. In order to show the modesty and hospitality of family style, the most distinguished seats are reserved for guests.
introduction of old elm
elm and other materials are born in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and other ancient furniture provinces, and traces of elm furniture can be seen at any time. The production of elm furniture spanned a long time, and it never stopped production from the early Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty. Its evolution process and regional characteristics were very clear.
Early elm furniture was mainly dedicated to furniture, such as offering tables and cases, shaped like Gu Zhuo, which was mostly displayed in temples, family shrines and other places, so it can be preserved to this day, especially the old elm. In Beijing's old city reconstruction projects in recent years, many old elms removed from old houses have become the wood for many old elm furniture manufacturers in Beijing.
I have a special liking for this kind of old wood with strong, non-deforming, tough quality and heavy personality, which makes many people have a special liking. The clear texture and simple color of elm contain the rough and generous taste of the north, and it has a natural and quaint charm.
These old elms, which have been polished by time, are getting stronger and stronger in their rough colors, and even their shortcomings, such as bug eyes and knots, have a shocking beauty of vicissitudes. These have a natural flavor of simplicity, vicissitudes of texture and color, revealing a profound historical and cultural heritage.
