The exact time of the appearance of the bench is unknown, but it existed before the Ming Dynasty, and the bench is a rectangular stool. The shape of the stool is rich, and it was rectangular in the early days of its appearance, which continued until the Ming Dynasty.
The stool, the earliest is not the stool we sit on today, it refers to the pedal, equivalent to the pedal. It served as a seat for a later matter. This type of seat developed into the Song Dynasty and was more commonly used.
In the seating, the level of the stool is slightly inferior to the chair, and there are many forms of stools in the Ming and Qing dynasties, including large square stools, long square stools, long benches, round stools, five-square stools, plum stools, etc.
Among the seats, the maza was the first to appear, the predecessor of the stool, and the addition of a backrest to the stool evolved into a chair. The stool is called the stool in the folk. Originally, it was used when stepping on a horse and getting on a sedan chair, so it was also called a stool and a sedan chair.

Tang dynasty. The origin of the chair (bench): At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a folding bench called "Hu bed", similar to the current Maza, was introduced to the Central Plains from the northern nomadic areas, and changed people's sitting posture for the first time.
People gradually began to abandon the uncomfortable posture of kneeling. By the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Hu bed gradually evolved into the chair with a backrest and an armchair that allowed the legs to hang down naturally.

It first appeared in the Tang Dynasty and was called Hu Stool.

A bench can also be called a bench, which refers to a type of wood made of glossy flat surface, without a backrest or armrests.
Because there are not so many materials for the bench and the production process is very simple, it has become popular.
To say that the origin is from ancient Egypt 4,600 years ago, according to historical records, a folding bench appeared during the ancient kings of ancient Egypt.
It is said that because Egypt is a tropical region, it is hot and rainless, and it is impossible to sit underground, or it is too close to the ground, so high stools appeared.
Slowly, craftsmen used their creative ability to change the monotonous and unornamental stool to a large seat with a backrest and armrests.
Decorated with various status, identification items, to declare their dominance to the world.
Later, ancient Egypt occupied West Asia and brought the stool and bed culture into West Asia, and West Asia brought these cultures to Africa and Greece.
In the end, Greece brought culture into Europe, and a hundred years later, the famous Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty in China sent an envoy to the Western Regions and saw this culture.
And he brought Hu Bed back, brought it to the Western Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the ethnic minorities, and integrated into it. Later, Bangu from the Eastern Han Dynasty also went to the Western Regions and learned some new culture. Take it back with you.
Finally, it was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who promoted Hufu and Huren culture, which opened up our own style stool and Hu bed culture.
At the beginning of the introduction, there was a lot of rumors and a lot of opposition. But once the culture is integrated, it is not easy to be stripped away.
Hu beds and stools entered the Central Plains and began to be sinicized. After all, we have our own style, and we can't use foreign things all the time.
Soon the bed evolved into an object that could be sitting, lying down, and viewing.
This point was vividly exerted by craftsmen during the Tang Dynasty, when the Hu bed had been transformed by ourselves, which was a large rectangular chair lower than the stool and higher than the ground.
The bench has also been transformed into a ground seat, a large stool with no stool legs, direct contact on the ground, a backrest, and armrests.
Generally, it is made of high-quality pear blossom wood, or golden silk nan wood, and high-quality mahogany, and is decorated with gold and various gemstone inlays.
Therefore, although the bench originated from foreign countries, it still plays its own value and exquisiteness in China.

Song dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, there was already a "bench", but the bench at that time was called Hu bed. From the time of Tang Mingzong, benches with backrests began to appear.

The predecessor of the table was the Jihe case, and it was also the earliest furniture used in ancient times, which appeared before the Han Dynasty and was widely used in the Western Han Dynasty.
In ancient times, the "several" was not for people to sit on, but for people to rely on. The case is divided into two types: book case and food case, which shows that in ancient times, the case was used for reading, writing, and eating, and the size of this kind of case was relatively small.
The name "table" appeared very late, according to Shang Binghe's "Examination of Social Customs and Things in the Past Dynasties", the name "table" officially appeared in China in the Song Dynasty.
It is not very clear which dynasty the stool first appeared in, in 1959 in the tomb of Zhang Sheng of the Sui Dynasty in Anyang, Henan, two of the earliest porcelain stool models in China were unearthed to prove that the rectangular stool had at least in the Sui Dynasty, and it was inferred from the consistency of the width of the stool legs and the stool surface, it may have evolved from several.
