Maitreya is generally larger in size, and has both a waist and a waist. There is a waist and the middle of the strip is wide, and the curve is relatively large. It is commonly called "Rohan belly", so it is also called "Arhat bed". The Arhat bed has always been a popular and practical piece of furniture.
There are four types of bedding in ancient Chinese furniture, namely, couch, arhat bed, canopy bed, and stepping bed. The latter two are only used as bedding for sleep; the first two, in addition to sleep, also have the function of sitting. We know that before the Han Dynasty, the way of living of the Chinese people was to sit on the ground, so the center of life must be around the sleeping place, and the hospitality is all around the owner. Over time, it has formed a hierarchy of Chinese hospitality. Before the Qing Dynasty, and even in the early years of the Republic of China, the highest level of hospitality for Chinese people had been on the bed or captain. The main function of the couch and the Arhat bed is instead of sleeping, but hospitality.
Since the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties "Han Xi Zai Night Banquet", through the paintings of the dynasties, you can often see the scene of the ancients taking the couch or the Arhat bed as the center. In the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Qing Dynasty, this etiquette was established. Therefore, the Arhat bed was developed from the plain to the gorgeous, gradually emphasizing the decoration of the body, the three-screen style Arhat bed is an example. Originally owned by the Chinese Classical Furniture Museum in the United States, the three-screen style is filled with seven black and white marbles. The front wall is slightly higher. The clear features of this bed are obvious, but the basic features of the Ming style are still preserved. For example, the front wall is filled with three pieces of marble, but it can still be used in the long flat style. It is different from the low style of the middle of the Qing style. The front wall is only slightly higher than the two sides of the square. This is in the Ming Dynasty. It is very common during surgery.
The Qing-style Arhat bed often presents a mountain-shaped wall in front of it, and the steps are often used on both sides to form a certain drop. This requires a frontal enclosure, especially if the middle section is high, so that the perimeter should not be too short. In the Qing Dynasty, the Arhat bed, the five-screen style, the seven-screen style, and even the nine-screen style also appeared, which forced the front wall to heighten and embarrassed. According to this line of thinking, the shorter the Arhat bed is, the older the age.
There are many differences in the production of the Luohan bed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. First of all, the use of marble as a wall is not seen in the furniture of the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, the form of stone in the surrounding area is also quite different from the construction method of the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, craftsmen often used the core board to clamp the marble and then put it into the frame. The Ming workmanship often loaded the stone directly into the frame. Sometimes, because the stone plate was not flat, the frame groove was also curved with the shape. Generally earlier.
The Arhat bed has a large degree of bending and a force, commonly known as the "cane leg." From the bed legs, you can also distinguish between clearing and clearing. The difference between the Qing style drums and the Ming style is that the understanding of the Rahan bed legs is powerful and subtle. Is it powerful and exaggerated? In general, the Ming-style Arhat bed is dug and leg-footed, giving people Strength but very subtle, the Qing-style Arhat bed is similar to the legs and legs, and it is more lively and exaggerated.
There is no convincing explanation for the name of the Arhat bed. It is speculated that it is related to the Mingle’s so-called Maitreya. Maitreya is a large seat, short and not lying; and the Arhat bed is also a function of sitting more than lying. The custom of the ancients before the Sui and Tang Dynasties was sitting on the ground. Although the Song evolved to sit down, the habit of sitting cross-legged has been preserved. Maitreya, the Arhat bed are all kinds of furniture reserved for the old customs of the country. Another said that "Rohan bed" is the evolution of the original Han couch (the seat of the Han Dynasty). "Arhat bed" is the predecessor of the "Throne" of the court of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a small couch, such as the modern "sofa."
Ancient Chinese sleep has two kinds of big sleep and nap, big sleep is formal sleep at night, nap refers to lunch breaks, etc., couch and arhat bed for nap, can be used for hospitality, while canopy bed and pedicure bed for big sleep Can not be used to treat guests.
