Isomorphism in Seating Environments and Furniture Design during the Wei,Jin,and Northern and Southern Dynasties
The purpose of this paper is to explore the artistic characteristics of seating environments and furniture design during the transformative period of the Wei,Jin,Northern,and Southern Dynasties.The study aims to use the traditional aesthetic design principles as a thread to conduct a comparative analysis of the living spaces and furniture design from the Wei,Jin,Northern,and Southern Dynasties.Employing an interdisciplinary approach,this research corroborates documentary evidence with visual analysis,examining data from both the social environment and living habits of the period.It investigates the factors influencing furniture design transformation during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.The primary reasons for the transformation of seating environments and furniture design in this era are attributed to three main aspects:the evolution of ritual concepts,the legacy of traditional artefact concepts,and the impact of Huhua living habits.The study delves into the artistic features of seating environments and furniture design in the Wei,Jin,Northern,and Southern Dynasties,highlighting the significant influence of traditional culture on artefact design during periods of social integration and transformation.It suggests that in the contemporary design milieu,traditional views of artefacts serve as an essential foundation for forging new pathways in modern furniture design.
