Jianmu furniture takes you to understand the Luohan bed
The Lohan bed and the Maitreya couch are generally larger in shape, with or without a corset. There is a corset and the middle of the tooth bar is wider and the curve is larger. It is commonly known as "Arhat Belly", so it is also called "Arhat Bed". Arhat bed has always been a popular practical furniture.
The ancient Sui and Tang dynasty's life customs were sitting on the ground. Although Song has evolved to sit on the foot, the habit of sitting cross-legged has remained. Maitreya and Arhat beds are all kinds of furniture reserved to adapt to the old customs of the Chinese people.According to legend, the Luohan bed was first used by monks to practice meditation. Later, after continuous changes, it was widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It can be seen that the origin of the Arhat bed is relatively noble. The Arhat bed is different from the general seating, not only as a chair, but also as a single bed. It is equipped with a small table on the top and a couch on the bottom. There are enclosures on three sides of the bed. People sitting on it are quite distinguished. It is one of the highest-level seats for hospitality.
Statement 1: Regarding the origin of the Arhat bed, a speculation is related to what the Ming people called Maitreya.
Statement 2: The Arhat bed is an evolution of the original Han couch (the seat of the Han Dynasty). The "Arhat bed" is the predecessor of the "throne" of the Ming and Qing courts, and is a small couch like a modern "sofa". In ancient China, there are two types of sleep: nap and nap, nap means formal sleep at night, nap refers to nap and other naps, couch and Arhat bed are used for nap, can be used for hospitality, and canopy bed and babu bed are used for nap , Cannot be used to entertain guests.
Statement 3: Because the early Arhat beds were mostly high-level people in the temple, such as abbots and abbots, they meditated on it during the day and slept on it at night. The general monk is a sleeper, and there is no Arhat bed in their room. Only a monk with an identity can sleep. The monk called it "Arhat", so he called it an Arhat bed.
Statement four: The origin of the Arhat bed, there is another argument, which is based on the structure of the legs and feet of the Arhat bed. Because the legs of the Arhat bed curve outwards and have a larger curvature, much like the bellied Arhat in the temple, it is commonly known as the "Arhat bed".
The origin of the Luohan bed There are four types of bedding in ancient Chinese furniture, namely the couch, the Luohan bed, the canopy bed and the babu bed. The latter two are only used as bedding for sleep; while the first two also have the function of sitting besides sleep. In ancient China, there were two types of sleep: nap and nap. A nap is a formal sleep at night. A nap refers to a nap and other naps. The couch and Arhat bed are used for naps and can be used for hospitality, while the canopy bed and babu bed are used for naps. , Cannot be used to entertain guests.
We know that before the Han Dynasty, Chinese people lived on the floor, so the center of life must surround the sleeping and sleeping places, and the hospitality was all around the master sleeping and lying. Over time, a hierarchical view of Chinese hospitality was formed. Before the Qing Dynasty, and even in the early years of the Republic of China, the highest level of Chinese hospitality was always on the bed or on the kang. The main function of the couch and the Arhat bed is not to sleep, but to treat guests.
Since the "Han Xizai Banquet Picture" from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, through the paintings of the past dynasties, you can often see the scenes where the ancients treated guests with a couch or an Arhat bed. Since the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Qing Dynasty, this kind of etiquette has become a formality. Therefore, the Arhat bed has developed from simple to gorgeous, gradually emphasizing its own decoration. The three-screen Arhat bed is an example. This entertainment was originally collected by the American Museum of Classical Furniture in the United States. It is a three-screen style with seven black and white marbles in the frame. The front wall is slightly higher. The characteristics of this bed are clear, but it still retains the basic characteristics of the Ming style. For example, although the front wall is filled with three pieces of marble, it can still adopt the long flat style, which is different from the Qing style. The middle and high two ends are low in decoration style, and the front wall is only slightly higher than the side walls. This is in the Ming Dynasty Luohan It is common during surgery.
There are many differences in the making of Luohan bed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. First, the use of marble for the enclosure is unprecedented in Ming Dynasty furniture, and secondly, the form of the enclosure stone is also very different from the Qing Dynasty construction methods. In the Qing Dynasty, artisans often sandwiched the marble with the core board, and then loaded it into the frame, and the Ming style workmanship often installed the stone directly into the frame. Sometimes, because of the uneven slate, the frame slotted also bent along with the shape. Generally earlier.
The legs of the Arhat bed have a large degree of bending and turn around, commonly known as "scented cane legs". From the leg of the bed, it is also possible to distinguish between clear and clear. The difference between the Qing style drum leg Pengya and the Ming style big excavation work is entirely in the understanding of the Luohan bed legs. Is it powerful and implicit, or powerful and exaggerated? In general, the Ming-style Arhat bed digs out missing legs and feet, giving people strength but very subtle. The similar leg-foot of the Qing-style Arhat bed is more lively in strength and seems exaggerated.
Arhat bed size Arhat bed size is divided into sizes, commonly used sizes are mainly the following:
Generally, the size of the Arhat bed is 210X90X48CM;
The size of the Arhat bed used for large smokers is generally 220X125X50CM;
The size of the modern antique mahogany Arhat bed is more flexible and comfortable. The main dimensions are: 100X200X45CM, 120X200X46CM, 90X200X45CM
Arrangement and function of Arhat bed From the size of Arhat bed, Arhat bed is a larger seat. Arhat bed placement is also very particular, usually placed a few in the middle of the Arhat bed, laying cushions on both sides, elegant style, solemn form. Arhat bed is more casual in use, either outdoor or indoor. Arrangement of Arhat bed is mainly in the living room, study room and boudoir.
Because the Arhat bed has both the functions of a bed and a seat, the Arhat bed can be placed in the bedroom, which can be used to sit on two people, play chess and talk, or lie down alone, enjoying a relaxing time; Arrange the Arhat bed It is also a good choice to put in the living room. Arhat bed placed in the living room can also be in harmony with the modern style sofa in the living room; the study may be the most suitable place for the Arhat bed. The aroma of tea blends into one body, fully demonstrating its rich ancient charm.
