| Abstract | Up to the Tang，Chinese for the most part sat on the ground，
on mats. Through the Han，while various sorts of low couches and platforms
came into use，chairs were unheard of. In the Tang all of this began to
change. We have a few scattered references to chairs in the Tang，as well
as a representation of a figure seated in a chair in an early Tang tomb
mural. More evidence appears in the late Tang and Five Dynasties period.
By the Southern Song，use of the chair had spread throughout Chinese
society，and has continued to maintain its position as a basic element
in Chinese interiors ever since. Already in the Song，thoughtful writers
contemplated the origins of the Chinese chair，and modern scholars have
proposed a number of theories for the chair's origins as well.
In my paper，I begin by tracing the rise of the chair in China, and
recounting the various proposals for its origin. Next，based on evidence
in the Buddhist canon，murals, steles, poetry and travelogues, I argue
that the chair was first brought to China by monks as a form of monastic
furniture，and eventually spread from monasteries to the rest of Chinese
society. In my conclusion，I reflect on the significance of these findings
for our understanding of the impact of Buddhism on Chinese culture. |
