Usability is the original source of the screen. Liu Qian recorded the screen that "screen can block the wind" in "Shi Ming. Shi Bed Account", which first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was placed behind the house to resist the cold current behind the emperor. The windshield is the first practical function of the screen. Another function of the screen is to separate the space and act as a shelter. "Post-Hanshu Biography of Zheng Hong" records "When the emperor asked to know the reason, he listened and placed a mica screen to separate them." Ancient records indicate that the screen has the function of blocking space and sight. The mica screens were built temporarily because the emperor wanted to question them, which also showed the flexibility of the screen layout.
Ancient buildings are mainly made of brick and wood, and the buildings are relatively tall. To keep out the cold in winter, screens are used as moving walls to keep out the cold and wind. The freedom and flexibility of the screen can guide the space without damaging the entire space. Compared with the wall partition, in addition to the screen can move freely and flexibly, there is also a good "separation and continuous" effect. Even if it is separated from the wall, it can still speak, so it is used to protect privacy and block sight when communicating.
The screen is the symbol of the right symbol. At the beginning of the screen, only the emperor can use it, representing the supreme authority of the emperor. By the Han Dynasty, screens were widely used in noble families and wealthy families. At this time, the screen is a symbol of power and wealth, showing the identity and status of the owner.
Cultural and social backgrounds of different times inevitably have different art forms. The screen contains the spiritual value and aesthetic pursuit of ancient China. People's aesthetic appreciation is mainly reflected in the decorative effect of the screen. A wooden color painting screen was unearthed at Mawangdui Tomb No. 1 in Changsha, Hunan. Fine workmanship, perfect match of red and black, dazzling. It reflects people's enthusiasm for the decoration of red and black collocation and clever color collocation during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
As a carrier of culture, the screen reflects the traditional culture and artistic style of my country in a specific historical period. Specifically, the way the screen is placed reflects the lifestyle of people in a particular era. The craftsmanship and decoration of the screen also reflect the contemporary social atmosphere and technical level. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the combination of screens, low furniture, and curtains reflected the lifestyle of people sitting and lying. The screens of calligraphy and painting popular in the Tang Dynasty are often decorated with calligraphy or proverbs, such as Han Xizai's banquet map, which also reflects the current social situation of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty.
The material, color and texture of the screen are the embodiment of its decorative function and an important form of expressing its artistic personality. The screens of the Tang Dynasty were exquisitely made and highly decorative. After the Song Dynasty, the aesthetic function of the screen was far greater than the practical function. Combined with other furniture, it accentuates the indoor atmosphere and becomes an indispensable interior decoration for ancient interior spaces. According to the decoration requirements of the Qin and Han dynasties, people mostly used natural wood materials and decorated the surface of the screen with paintings and carvings of forest wood paint.
