Beside the round-backed armchair let's have a brief view on some other most common traditional Chinese chair styles and their use with characteristics.

Official Chair:

Another popular chair is official hat chair. It's named since Song dynasty. It's top back looks like Song dynasty's official's hat. The 2 top ends are extended.

South Official Chair:

Later another kind of chair like official chair appeared. There's no extention but with 4 round edges. It's called south official chair. There's no evidence to prove that it's started from China south. But generally it came behind of official chair.

Rose Chair:

Rose is a kind of flower. So it's not named by the chair's shape like others. It's the most shortest one among all chairs. It's generally not higher than the windowsill to let the light in from outside.
