Xiangfei Bamboo Pattern Zen Chair

Xiangfei Bamboo Pattern Zen Chair

Xiangfei bamboo, also known as spotted bamboo, is a creature of natural beauty, celebrated for the love story of Emperor Shun and his two Xiangfei consorts. A thousand years have passed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, yet the Xiangfei bamboo along the shores of Dongting Lake still tells the tale of that ancient hero and love.

This Xiangfei bamboo-patterned Zen chair perfectly embodies the elegance of spotted bamboo branches. The combination of lacquer and bamboo wood reflects the thoughtful design, charm, and artistic conception of the object, as well as the aesthetic taste and sentiments of literati.

Since ancient times, Chinese literati have cherished the carefree life of picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and have had a special fondness for the proud and upright bamboo, seeing it as both bamboo and a symbol of sentiment.
