What was the name of the ancient living room?

The living room in ancient times was called "the first room". In ancient China, the hall was the living space of the old Han folk houses. It is designed in the middle of the house, also known as the "living room", and is usually open. In some areas, it is also called "bright room" (the bedroom is called "dark room"). The hall is a place where families live and receive visitors, and ordinary people also serve as restaurants.

In addition, the living room was also called "hall" in ancient times, which was a place for meeting friends, parents' early education and festive activities, and it was necessary to control the scene. The halls of large houses are orderly and well-behaved. Based on the central axis of the main hall, it is placed symmetrically. Furniture, couplets, plaques, hanging screens and painting screens are symmetrically arranged on both sides with the central axis as the center, which is solemn, noble and very imposing.
