Classic Ming Furniture 经典的明代家具



（Sabrina向James介绍明代家具风格的特点，却被Lily挖苦说太老土，白在美国留学几年了。而James坚持除了硬质的沙发不用明代的之外，其它的都要。家具店老板最后给James配了一套典型的明代家具组合。）



Sabrina: I know a little bit about furniture of the Ming Dynasty. I have an aunt who works with antique furniture. She told me that Ming furniture is very simple. Not so much decoration on them as Qing Dynasty furniture. Qing design over-does it sometimes so you lose the feeling of simplicity.



Lily: Please! You have lived in America for 2 years but you are still as unfashionable as ever! Everyone likes the excess of Qing decoration now!



James: I think I like the simpler style too. This furniture is exactly what I hoped to find. Hand carved, solid wood… (James sits down on a Ming couch) Ouch. Ok, well I think I like everything except the sofa. (Everyone chuckles as James rubs his bottom)

Mr. Zhang: I think if you want to use traditional Chinese furniture to decorate your flat, you should buy 1 tao of them.
