01 /Planning
The use of uncarved wood and bamboo and the use of heavy lacquers are well-known Chinese styles. It is worth noting that Chinese furniture varies dramatically from one dynasty to the next.
02 /Prototyping
Chinese ornamentation is highly inspired by paintings, including bamboo trees, chrysanthemums, water lilies, irises, magnolias, flowers, and branches of cherry.
03 /Producing
Animal ornaments include lions, bulls, ducks, peacocks, parrots, pheasants, roosters, ibises, and butterflies. The dragon is the symbol of earth fertility, and of the power and wisdom of the emperor.
