Screens are generally displayed in a conspicuous position indoors, which plays the role of separation, beautification, wind protection and coordination. It and classical furniture reflect each other and complement each other, becoming an inseparable whole of Chinese home decoration, showing a harmonious and quiet beauty.

The origin history of the screen

Screen is an important furniture and decoration in ancient China. Its shapes, patterns and characters all contain a lot of cultural information, which not only shows the elegant taste of literati, but also contains the profound connotation of people praying for good luck. Various pictures also condense the creative wisdom and ingenious technology of craftsmen.

As a kind of practical furniture, screen first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it was not called screen at that time, but called "house" or "city". With its wide and universal use, its types are also increasing. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the screen changed from practical to decorative. Screen is no longer a simple shelter, but has evolved into a decorative work of art, which is more ornamental. Although the shape is small, the connotation is extremely rich. In modern times, the screen has been divorced from practicality and exists as an art form. It has played a role in embellishing the environment and beautifying the room.
