Taishi chair is the name of a kind of chair in modern society, and it is also used as a kind of Feng Shui in the shape of Taishi chair. These two situations are not only modern, but also in ancient times, and are also related to the traitor and Taishi Qin Hui What is interesting is that Yue Ke, a descendant of Yue Fei who was killed by Qin Hui, also mentioned the various relationships between Qin Hui and the Taishi Chair in his "History of Qin".
The earliest record of the Taishi chair is in Zhang Duanyi's " Gui'er Ji ". Zhang Duanyi lived in the Southern Song Dynasty Song Lizong period and lived around 1235 AD. It is recorded in that the imperial chair in the Northern Song Dynasty had only one style, which was shaped like a castellated tree. Officials of all sizes like to use it. How did
become associated with Qin Hui?
The shape of the chair is similar to a castellated tree, which is a container made of wicker and shaped like a bucket, also called a bucket.
is related to Qin Hui. There is another allusion here. One day, Qin Hui, who was already a grand master at that time, according to records, "Today's school chair is also the ancient bed , and it has always been only a castellated chair." In this way, the prime minister and his attendants all used it. Because Qin Shiyuan was in the imperial palace, he bowed his head and dropped his scarf for a while. In order to flatter the prime minister, he deliberately made forty lotus leaves to carry to the imperial palace. So, the remaining craftsmen immediately added it, and all the ministers and attendants used it, so they called it. The Qin Shiyuan mentioned in the article is the traitor Qin Hui who was the Grand Master at that time. When he was resting on the high chair in the Imperial Palace, he raised his head and dropped his turban, Jingzhao Yin Wu Yuan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. The man was also very discerning, so he secretly designed a lotus leaf mop head, ordered the craftsmen to make it according to the pattern, installed it on the chair, and named it "Taishi Model", which was specially designed by Jingzhao Yin Wu Yuan for Designed and built by Qin Hui, the name of the Taishi chair starts from Qin Hui.
Not only Zhang Duanyi recorded this incident, but Yue Ke, a descendant of Yue Fei who had a grudge against Qin Hui, also mentioned the chair with a lotus leaf holding the head in the "History of Qin", and the names were "Lotus Leaf Chair" and "Taishi Chair" . There are also Wang Ming and Qing dynasties in the "Three Records of Huizhi" recorded the use of the Taishi chair by other people at that time, and said that high-ranking officials used it, which shows that this kind of chair spread quickly. Of course, it is also related to Qin Hui being the Taishi. Does it work from top to bottom? ! There is nothing else that can spread faster than this!
The Taishi chair is a chair named after an official position, which represents power and status. Even if it is placed at home, it can also show the status of the owner. The function of this kind of headrest is similar to the headrest on the backrest of modern cars and airplanes. One is a treacherous minister, and the other flatters the treacherous minister, creating a noble chair among chairs. I have to say that things in the world are very strange.
The Taishi Chair is not only used as a chair, but also later was cited in Feng Shui. In Feng Shui residences, the best Feng Shui terrain is called the Taishi Chair. It probably means that the backing behind this kind of house is higher, like the back of a Taishi chair; the left and right sides are wrapped around, lower, like the armrests of a Taishi chair; and the house is in the middle, like the seat of a chair. This is the most ideal and reasonable layout in Feng Shui terrain.
So later, the Taishi chair was not only a kind of chair, but also was cited in Feng Shui.
