The 3-part series named “Chinese Furniture Down Through the Ages” is about furniture, and how it changed and evolved down through the centuries in China. The history of Chinese furniture can be traced back roughly three thousand years, to the Shang Dynasty when rough low tables and sleeping mats were first used. The golden age for furniture in the country was undoubtedly the Ming Dynasty, between seven and four hundred years ago. Yet Chinese furniture of virtually every period has its distinct appeal, thanks to the fine craftsmanship and rich variety of designs that have been a constant theme throughout history. And the fact is that furniture and furniture making are an important part of our traditional Chinese culture. So stay with New Frontiers to explore more about Chinese Furniture and traditional Chinese culture. Only on CCTV International
