Westerners say it was invented by the west, while orientals say it was invented by the east. It's really hard to say. After all, the most basic needs of life are like pots and pans. When people feel the need to sit down, they have chairs. The Metropolitan Museum of New York has an ancient Egyptian chair in BC 1479, and the above answer also mentions the chair in the ancient Egyptian murals. However, these chairs are not only tools for sitting, but also spiritual loads. At this point, the eastern and western cultures are strikingly consistent. Since the chair was invented and used, it has more meanings besides practical functions, such as symbolic status. This is clearly reflected in the Chinese vocabulary "number one, chief" and the English vocabulary "chairman". As for how questions were first invented, where did people sit before they were invented? Humans have been looking for places to sit down since they can walk upright, such as natural stones, mounds and so on. Later, archaeology discovered a simple stone bench with three stone slabs, which was considered as the original prototype of the chair. The hot climate in ancient Egypt may have accelerated the invention of this tool. After all, sitting on the floor was popular in ancient China.
