One of the most important part of Chinese architecture is the Great wall of China. This wall runs 5500-13000 miles. This was made of lots of different materials including brick, stone, mud, brick and earth. This great wall was made along to border and was made to protect the boundaries of China. This influenced the architectural aspect of watchtowers to keep have an added protection to the towns. The interiors of the Chinese are highly based on the colors red and gold. The furniture is very unique too because they typically sat on the floor and that made the tables very short. This is called a Kang table and it was made out of Huali wood, lacquer, bamboo and ceramic. (shown below)
Another piece of furniture they use is when they finally did make chairs they made some more progressive folding chairs. They also have a very iconic piece of furniture called a Yoke Back chair, this is something that is still relevant today.
