Just as Chinese rosewood classical furniture holds a prominent place in the history of Chinese furniture culture, doors and windows also embody profound cultural significance in the annals of Chinese architectural and decorative art. In the eyes of ancient people, doors and windows were like a delicate curtain separating heaven from humanity.
Windows, historically also referred to as "chuang," were especially prominent in ancient China—particularly during the Ming and Qing dynasties—as intricate decorative window panels that combined symbols of wealth and prosperity with a refined Confucian elegance. Not only did they embody deep cultural significance, but their exquisitely crafted designs also provided viewers with immense visual pleasure.
In ancient times, doors and windows were typically crafted from exquisite nanmu and cypress wood, carved with intricate designs that remained perfectly intact—even after more than a century—while prolonged use actually enhanced their natural luster, making them even more polished and radiant over time.
The carving techniques are also remarkably intricate, with each component—doors, windows, and partitions—decorated with distinct patterns. Most notably, these include auspicious motifs such as "Fu" (the bat symbolizing good fortune), "Lu" (the plum deer representing prosperity), "Shou" (the qilin embodying longevity), and "Xi" (the magpie signifying joy), alongside traditional Han Chinese motifs like peonies and orchids.
Some homes even adorn their ornate windows with thin layers of gold leaf to signify wealth and prosperity—leaves that, after centuries, remain strikingly visible today. In scholarly households, doors and other wooden panels are intricately carved with poems, calligraphy, and paintings; meanwhile, families devoted to Buddhism often feature door panels adorned with iconic Buddhist motifs like cloud-shaped gongs, parasols, and images of the benevolent Buddha Maitreya. Indeed, simply by examining these decorative elements, one can often get a clear sense of the family’s background and personal tastes.
