				This is the equivalent of the parlor in western homes. It is a formal room used to entertain<br />guests, hold weddings or funerals, and was not normally used for daily living.<br />
				A long narrow table with recessed legs for serving was placed in front of a moveable wooden wall.<br />Chairs were placed in symmetrical rows facing each other. Often another side chair or folding chair was<br />
				placed in front of the table. The scroll painting could be rolled up and stored. It could be changed easily to suit the<br />
				occasion or the season. Rugs and hangings could be added and stored when the room was not in use.<br />
				Most of the furniture is huanghuali wood<br />
