The main characteristics of "Xianzuo" classical craft furniture are: first, elegant style, second, rigorous structure and third, exquisite materials. Xianyou classical craft furniture has a high degree of specialization, forming a certain scale cluster.

First, it is a clever combination of Chinese painting art, sculpture art and furniture making skills.

Li Geng, a modern painter of Xianyou, painted a huge screen "Dongfanghong Songqing Hebai" for the State Guest Hall of the Great Hall of the People. His works "Dharma" and "Peach and Plum Garden on a Spring Night" were collected by the Palace Museum and China Art Museum respectively. Xu Beihong commented: "It is surprising that there is a winner. Li is the first to bear the brunt. He can trace the ladle, and he has no talent in the Central Plains." 1959, Li Geng founded the Chinese Painting Institute before his death, and trained a large number of Chinese painting talents. Li Xia, a painter of Xianyou in the late Qing Dynasty, won the gold medal in Panama World Expo for his work Eighteen Arhats Crossing the River. Wu Changshuo, a famous painter in China, spoke highly of Li Xia's paintings, calling them "the first among paintings". During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, Guo Huai, a Xianyou, was a master of stone carving and was called "the ancestor of sculpture". he

The existing stone carving work Dongmen Shifang can be called "the first of the eight wonders in Fujian". Xianyou's furniture making skills can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the first time to make palace furniture in the Northern Song Dynasty. Obviously, Xianyou classical craft furniture is a clever combination of China traditional painting art, carving art and furniture making skills, which is highly praised and appreciated by many experts, scholars and people in the industry, and is called "fairy furniture" and "art furniture".

The second is the inheritance and innovation of the classic style of Ming and Qing furniture.

Walking into the exhibition hall of "Immortal Works", what you see is the beauty of preciseness, elegance, nature, stability and harmony. What you vaguely hear is the natural chord of Zen and Qin-"fairy sound"; Let us relive not only the romantic time of the nobles in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also the distant legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is a remarkable independence after the waves recede and a pleasant tea tasting after the glitz disappears. "Fairy works" travel through historical time and space to witness modern civilization. Elegance and luxury cannot be the ultimate pursuit of "immortal works" History itself can't bear too much decoration, and art itself doesn't need too much makeup. "Ancient rhyme and nature" is her eternal pursuit. "Immortal works" are characterized by inheritance and innovation. The application of modern scientific and technological achievements and clever integration of fashion elements are both classic and can meet the aesthetic needs of modern people.

Thirdly, it contains the cultural concepts and aesthetic tastes of several generations of Xianyou people.

Xianyou's folk art has a long history and rich humanistic atmosphere. Known as "seaside Zou Lu, a famous literary country", "hometown of drama", "hometown of track and field", "hometown of martial arts", "hometown of traditional Chinese painting" and "hometown of arts and crafts". There were pottery wheels and brick-making techniques here more than 3000 years ago. In the Five Dynasties, the Tianzhong Wanshou Pagoda in Fengting was a national first-class cultural relic protection unit. Li Geng is a master of China's classical figure painting in the 20th century. He was once called "Southern Li and Northern Qi" together with Qi Baishi. It can be seen that Xianyou classical furniture is the accumulation of cultural ideas and aesthetic interests of craftsmen in previous dynasties. It is this magical land with extremely profound cultural accumulation that provides a steady stream of nutrients for the "fairy work" industry.

Fourthly, it realizes the harmonious unity of "form, material and art"

No matter from the technology, culture, appreciation and collection value, it is a model of China furniture. Modeling mainly refers to the overall aesthetic feeling of furniture in modeling and structure. In the selection of materials, the pursuit of natural beauty, clever use of the natural color and texture of wood beauty, without too much carving. "Xianzuo" furniture has reached the peak of Chinese classical furniture art, and the key to its success lies in plastic arts. Every successful piece of furniture incorporates the designer's thoughts and personality, which reflects the designer's views on art and life. It has a unique charm and elegant style, and a wonderful realm between the lines, which is the embodiment of China's ancient humanistic thought represented by Taoism in classical furniture.

Fifth, it is an artistic furniture that pursues the unity of practicality, appreciation and collection.
