The Chinese *ping feng* (folding screen) is a traditional Chinese furniture(家具). It dates back to the Han Dynasty. *Ping feng* means “keeping away from wind”, which tells us its use right from the start.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens there is usually a dragon. It means light, growth, and water that gives life. It also stands for nobility(高贵)and power. The peacock(孔雀), a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens too. It's a symbol of long life. Beautiful flowers, which mean being rich and good luck, are also a popular design of *ping feng*. All the designs carry people's beautiful wishes.
Behind *ping feng* lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family should not see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male(男性)cousins. When a young man came to visit, she could secretly watch him from behind the screen which completely hid her. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If both the daughter and her father liked the young man's poem and his looks, she might agree to marry him.
Today *ping feng* is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical(实际的)use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.
