Furniture in Dunhuang murals

Dunhuang, after vicissitudes of life, has risen and fallen several times. The catastrophe in modern times has covered it with a mysterious veil. The splendid ancient culture bred by a long history has flown away from home and abroad, and has faltered through the miles of the 5,000-year-old ancestors. It is no exaggeration to say that the exquisite Dunhuang Grotto art, as a treasure house of Chinese traditional culture, has always been the source of inspiration for many artists and designers.

The development of traditional furniture in China has a long history. The culture and art of different periods have a great influence on the development of furniture. Dunhuang murals inadvertently record the origin and development of furniture from the side. Dunhuang was founded in Beijing during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it lasted for more than 900 years. Dunhuang Buddha's mural paintings support the characters themselves. Not only have vivid stories, such as the story of the nine-color deer king, but also can reflect the life and cultural conditions of the people from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty from multiple angles and levels, and the living utensils are inevitably in the murals. It has been reflected. For example, the No. 130 Cave of the Tang Dynasty, "The Dudu's Lady Taiyuan Wangshi Li Buddha Map" can intuitively reflect the characteristics of the costumes at that time and the rich life of the people; while some living utensils, such as the 285 cave murals of the Western Wei Dynasty, were divided into two chairs. The picture on the screen can be used to examine the origin of the chair. The name of the chair was first seen in the Tang Dynasty, and the image of the chair was traced back to the bed of the north when the Han and Wei were introduced. The long-term national integration not only enriched the cultural and artistic life of shouting people, but also enriched their material life. In today's furniture industry, it is necessary to understand the origin and development of traditional furniture and explore more historical, cultural and national characteristics. This is also a kind of "innovation", which is a contribution to the development of art and furniture.

The painting murals can focus on the use of various kinds of furniture such as ancient beds, couches, screens, tables, chairs, etc.: due to different furniture functions, decorative patterns, crafts, decorative effects also have their own characteristics, different times have different Features. It can be said that the teaching of mural paintings provides a concrete basis for the study of the ancient ways of using, materials and production techniques, which can effectively supplement the deficiencies of written materials and physical materials, and provide a reference for today's furniture design workers to break through innovation. Inspiration. In ancient and modern China and foreign countries, color is the inheritance and display of beauty. In the furniture industry, it can completely draw original inspiration from the traditional Dunhuang color and pattern, especially its exaggeration, deformation, suitable creative methods and color. The use of etc., enlighten our original service plan, form the style of Chinese characteristics and the source of the pattern. The art of grotto is closed to the color, the beauty is in the form of exaggerated art clothing, and the beauty is inspirational and inferior. I have to praise the ancients for their abandonment of the spirit of distracting thoughts.

At the end of the 19th century, the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang suffered from catastrophe, so that later domestic scholars could only go to the Western National Museum for photocopying, which made the study of Dunhuang studies in China lag behind the West for many years. In the simple search, there are about 54 academic studies on Tang Dynasty costumes in Dunhuang research, and only 29 on furniture research. Obviously, research at home and in the field is weak, while Japan is in architecture, art, painting, medicine. , language and other aspects have been doing very well. Walk in front of us. Today's Dunhuang art is borrowed and quoted by designers from many foreign industries, and domestic designers are more responsible for carrying forward the Chinese treasures that have lasted for thousands of years. Emphasizing and excavating Dunhuang will be a great spiritual wealth.

From the precious images left by Dunhuang, we can see the face of ancient Chinese traditional furniture. They have various uses, outstanding practical effects, unique design style, rich details, distinctive national characteristics in color and ornamentation, and practical. The perfect combination of sex and decoration shows the different styles of traditional furniture development. Learning tradition is to apply what is learned, to develop innovation, and to draw lessons from modern design. If the style and color of traditional Chinese furniture are effectively applied to today's furniture design, it can better express the self-confidence, openness and prosperity of traditional culture, and it can make modern furniture design rich and profound cultural heritage. China facing the world needs national characteristics and national spirit more, and more needs the harmony between traditional culture and modern civilization. This is the significance of revisiting the ancient civilization of the millennium today and regaining the splendid treasures of ancient times.
