Jiao Chair originated from an early form of seating: the Hu bed. The Hu bed is the first high-type seat in the history of the mainland, it is composed of eight wooden sticks, can be folded, easy to carry around, and is a seat introduced by nomads. "Southern History, Western Regions, Slippery Country": "There is no city, the yurt house is the residence, and the account is opened in the east. The king sat on the golden bed, turned with the Tai Sui, and sat with his wife to receive guests. The gold bed here is the chair with gold ornaments. Gao Cheng of the Song Dynasty quoted "Customs and Customs" in the "Chronicle of Affairs": "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is good at Hu clothes, Jingshi is a Hu bed, and the porcelain covers its beginning, and the chair is also today." Song Zeng Sanyi's "Because of the Words": "The rope bed that is said to be relied on is made by Yidi, and Ou Gong is not royal." "The Ming Dynasty chair inherits the Song style, can be divided into two kinds of straight back and round back, mostly set up in the hall of the prominent position, for the seat of the Venerable, there is the tendency to override the four seats, so the folk saying has "the first chair", after entering the Qing Dynasty, it is gradually used less and less in actual life, and the maker is becoming scarce.
