Furniture(B)The development of traditional Chinese furniture went from the simple to the intricate,and was closely linked to the Chinese lifestyle and cultural and economic changes in China.In early antiquity,the Chinese sat mostly on straw mats on the floor.After the Warring States period(475-221 D.C.),beds and couches began to come into widespread use as seating.During the Wei-Chin(220-420 A.D.)and the Northern and Southern dynasties(420-589 A.D.)period,Western-style chairs,folding stools,and other seating gradually entered China.From this point on,Chinese everyday living began to be conducted from chairs rather than sitting cross-legged on floor.Straw mats came to be used as covering for beds and couches.Traditional Chinese Furniture(B)intricate adj.复杂的 antiquity adj.古代，古物

the late Qing dynasty,foreign living styles began to be adopted in China,with the result that original predominant Chinese style furnishing gradually became collectors items.Not only chair,but also
