These images vividly reproduce the use of chairs and stools by bureaucrats and aristocratic families in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although the furniture at that time had the shape of chairs and stools, people used to call it "Hu bed" because there were no chairs and stools at that time. In temples, it is often used for meditation, so it is also called a Zen bed.
After the Tang Dynasty, the use of chairs gradually increased, and the name of chairs was widely used and separated from the category of beds. Therefore, when it comes to the origin of chairs and stools, we should start with Hu Chuang in the Han and Wei Dynasties.
