Although the emperor is called the real dragon emperor of the Nine Five Years, the term "dragon chair" did not appear until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Moving forward, the chair the emperor sits on is called "throne" or "throne"
”, but the meanings are the same, representing this supreme authority.
In the early years of the Jiajing reign, the Manufacturing Office was ordered to design the True Dragon Throne. The Manufacturing Office took the order and spent nine months designing the first draft, three months selecting materials, and another year and six months before it was completed.
At this point, between the two red gold pillars of the Jinluan Hall, there were seven days and seven lifespans, a gold-lacquered dragon-patterned Jiangshan Sheji screen, and the world's best chair with carved dragons and a gold chair.
This project was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the finished product was as powerful as a rainbow and fully reflected the royal majesty. At this point, the first and only legitimate dragon chair in the feudal dynasty was born.
This dragon chair, both in terms of design and craftsmanship, has reached the ceiling of the industry. It can be said that it cannot be copied. Therefore, even if the emperor changes, or even the dynasty changes, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties take charge of the world, this dragon chair still sits firmly in the Golden Palace.
.
After the Manchus came to power, they successively replaced furniture and equipment that they liked. However, none of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were willing to replace this dragon chair. By the late Qing Dynasty, this dragon chair in the Forbidden City actually became the symbol of the previous dynasty.
The only piece of furniture we created, regardless of its quality or historical significance, this large chair carved with dragons and painted with gold is a well-deserved national treasure of China.
But unfortunately, during the Republic of China, a super prodigal son appeared in China.
After Yuan Shikai's restoration, he didn't know whether it was because he wanted to adhere to his reform ideas or because he felt it was unlucky, so he threw away the unique and precious gold chair with carved dragons and embroidery. It would have been better to replace it with a better one. But Lao Yuan actually built a Chinese and Western
Incorporating a nondescript chair as a symbol of one's royal power is simply ridiculous.
Fortunately, in 1959, Mr. Zhu Jiaxin found this dragon chair again in the warehouse where worn-out furniture was stored based on old photos. However, due to neglect and vandalism, this valuable treasure was seriously damaged. Later, Mr. Kong personally took charge and gathered all the old treasures.
It took skilled craftsmen more than a year to complete the restoration of this important treasure, and then brought it back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where it once again glowed with its past glory. It is precisely because of this that people today are lucky enough to see its true appearance. This is
The pride of Gubo is also the achievement that Mr. Kong is proud of. Mr. Kong mentioned this journey to Lu Fei more than once.
Before, Lu Fei occasionally found a dragon chair among Wei Zhongxian's treasures, but no matter the style, significance or status, there was no comparison with this Chinese national treasure.
And now, in Zhuo Feifei's workshop, Lu Fei saw this "dragon chair" again. However, this is no longer a piece of rosewood carved with gold, but Zhuo Feifei used her skillful hands to weave it piece by piece.
As of now, this piece of work has basically been completed, and all that remains is polishing, polishing and coloring.
Even though it may look like bamboo weaving art, it is a one-to-one exact replica of the national treasure in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Even if it is not completely completed, just taking a look at it is enough to make your blood boil.
"How's it going? Is it okay?" Zhuo Feifei said with a proud smile on her face.
But unfortunately, at this moment, Lu Fei regarded her as nothing. He only had this beautiful work in his eyes. A little dazed, Lu Fei strode forward. He was regarded as nothing, but Zhuo Feifei regarded her as nothing.
He stamped his feet angrily.
When he came closer, Lu Fei stretched out his hand and touched it gently, looking at it carefully bit by bit, and rarely even took out a ruler to seriously measure it.
The throne is 172.5 centimeters high, and the base is 49 centimeters high. These are extremely fine dimensions, and they are exactly the same as the real thing.
The whole body of the throne is carved with dragons and painted with gold, and the decoration is as sacred as possible. The seat surface is square with a circle in the middle and plain.
The waist is girded below the seat surface, the legs are swollen and the teeth are bulging, and there is a mud support.
The backrest and armrests are made into a seven-panel style and installed with movable tenons. The entire throne is decorated with lotus flowers and lotus leaf patterns. The thick and thin bamboo on the backrest and pillow is woven into a lotus leaf shape. The technique is natural and rounded. With Lu Fei's memory, he can be sure
, the appearance is almost exactly the same as the real thing, so strict that it surprised Lu Fei.
Looking at the craftsmanship, he was even more amazed. All the patterns and decorations were completely made of hand-woven bamboo. The widest bamboo strips were less than one centimeter, and the tiniest ones were as thin as hair. This craftsmanship, this endurance,
This ability makes him, a skilled craftsman, a little disappointed.
Since the throne is made of bamboo, the inside must be hollowed out, but Zhuo Feifei made a special design and made thousands of tie bars inside to reinforce it, and each tie bar has been specially processed by art to follow the interlacing rules.
It is even more painstaking. When you look into it, not only does it not feel inconsistent, but it even adds some extra bonus to this work.
The upper part of the throne adopts an armchair-style backrest, and the lower part supports a wide "Xumizuo"-style seat and footrest. The design adopts the most noble form.
Thirteen golden dragons are distributed and coiled around the back of the chair, and the remaining parts have fire bead patterns, cloud patterns, curly grass patterns, etc. The only flaw is that there is no gold foil wrapping and gem inlay, but this is not what Zhuo Feifei's ability can do.
However, all the inlay openings and seats that should be left have been reserved. This has been refined to the extreme and is simply perfect. Although the emperor is called the real dragon emperor of the Nine Five Years, the "dragon chair"
This word did not appear until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Going further back, the chair the emperor sat on was called "throne" or "throne", but the meanings were the same, representing the supreme authority.
