In March this year, the 16th Conference of States Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES Convention) opened in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. More than 2,000 representatives from 177 countries and non-governmental organizations attended the meeting. The conference announced a new revised list of appendices, Dalbergia philippinarum, Dalbergia mesoamerica, Dalbergia dipterocarpa, Dalbergia davidiana, and Dalbergia rosenbergii are listed in Appendix III to Appendix II. So far, the seven tree species in the "Redwood National Standard" have been included in Appendix I and Appendix II of the CITES Convention. These tree species must have an import and export license or a re-export certificate before they can conduct international trade.   In June this year, the newly revised "CITES Convention" came into effect. With the import and export of scarce wood restricted, the price of domestic rosewood raw materials rose, and the pressure on enterprises began to appear. Small and medium-sized enterprises that hoard few raw materials will face severe challenges.  The new reality clearly tells people that the era of "rich but not expensive" mahogany furniture is over! At the same time, it also raises a question for the design, production, and operators of mahogany furniture: how to get rid of that time in the face of the new situation Contrary to the low imitation, high imitation and lack of foundation, the production and operation mode, actively innovate, keep making progress, improve development, and ensure the glory of the industry.  It is undeniable that the mahogany furniture industry had a good period of "making money". In the early stage of reform and opening up and even a longer period afterwards, the mahogany furniture industry is booming and profitable. You should know that this is due to the low price of materials and high profit of finished products at that time, not the cultural and technical content of the goods we made. The reason for the situation that occurred at the time: not that our abilities were superior, but to catch up with a good era. This remark is harsh. It should be noted that at that time, many people who bought mahogany furniture were largely from the occupation and display of materials, but less concerned about the cultural heritage of furniture. At the same time, the education level, knowledge and literacy of the practitioners in the design, production and operation of mahogany furniture were not very high. Growth experience and lifestyles often determined the taste of a person and his enterprise and commodities. many.  Financial laws and commodity laws tell us that the value of money determines purchasing power. In plain language, the explanation is: With the increasing scarcity of mahogany furniture's precious raw materials and rising prices, the prices of its commodities will rise sharply. In this way, ordinary consumers have to withdraw from the ranks of buyers of mahogany furniture, and this layer is exactly the "backbone". The consumer groups reshuffled, and the newly emerged buyers often have their requirements and vision, and it will be difficult for them to adapt to their wishes because of the "rich but not expensive" of our works, causing them to turn their eyes to Western furniture. This can not be said that they are "Chongyang fans", but we should seriously reflect on ourselves, how to constantly make progress to adapt to the times.  Under the new situation, the mahogany furniture industry must have the courage to break the wrists of the brave men and carry out a complete self-abandonment to change the "rich but not expensive" situation and promote new development and new leapfrogging in the industry.  First, get rid of "rich but not expensive" and establish the luxury product status of mahogany furniture products . Nowadays, there is less and less precious and rare wood. If we cannot design and create masterpieces that can be handed down to the world, and continue to stay on the low level of "rich but not expensive", there is no way out. International luxury products have the quality attributes of fashion and exquisiteness, hand-made and cultural content, brand accumulation, limited production and so on. At present, in China, mahogany furniture can be regarded as the only luxury utensil that can be in line with international standards. This is mainly due to the precious and increasingly scarce production materials, as well as the rich heritage, cultural accumulation and other extended values. Therefore, to include the design and production of mahogany furniture in the category of high-end and exquisite luxury products is undoubtedly the best breakthrough to enhance the design concept, increase the cultural content, and improve the production process.  Second, keep up with the times and adapt to the lifestyle of high-end tasters. Making scarce wood into high-end exquisite luxury furniture is the best destination for everything. Looking back on the history of furniture development and evolution, it can be seen that the relationship between furniture and life is progressive with the development of society: seats, sitting on the floor to sitting on the feet, from sitting on the front to sitting reclining; storage, from Only pay attention to practicality to the pursuit of humanities, from only emphasizing application to the pursuit of artistic charm. Everything is so advancing with the times. Does any furniture of the dynasty stay on the level of inheritance but not development?  Third, improve one's own taste and create good products handed down from the times. What kind of life will have what kind of vision; what kind of vision will have what kind of realm. The designers and creators of mahogany furniture should improve their qualities and education as soon as possible, and examine the design and creation of mahogany furniture products from the perspective of “both rich and expensive†life. The author believes that today's classics must be yesterday's fashion; tomorrow's classics must be today's fashion. If we can't create the same hand-made products as Ming and Qing furniture, we are ashamed of this era.  Inheritance is the best foundation for innovation, and innovation is the best development for inheritance. Counterfeiting, no matter how good or even better than the real product, will always be a counterfeit and can only meet the needs of a part of the market, but it will not be an advanced and eternal art after all. Innovation without inheritance is new without foundation, and inheritance without innovation is also a dead pool. Taking the most typical Ming-style mahogany as an example, its advent is the essence of the aesthetic value, practical value, and ergonomics of the furniture of countless generations of previous dynasties. The dynasty was only a driving force, which catalyzed the rich and inherited furniture style from quantitative change to qualitative change in this specific period, from gradual change to stable, from jerky to mature, forming a style, becoming fashionable, and finally completed as an eternal classic. .  Inheriting traditional culture, if it only praises its excellence metaphysically, but does not relate to specific carriers (such as Tang poetry and Song Ci, calligraphy and painting, Kunqu Opera, Ming and Qing furniture, etc.), it is basically empty talk. On the contrary, it is more misleading to equate specific carriers with traditional culture, but not to analyze the admiration of the times, the mind and mind, and the state of life. There are many carriers of traditional culture. A specific carrier only inherits a small part of the culture, a side angle, and a layer, rather than the entire culture. And these specific carriers show different brilliance in each different era, which shows that these carriers have become fashionable and classics in the future through inheritance and innovation. Once the carrier that conflicts with the changing lifestyle and fails to adjust in time, it gradually fades, even if it is then brilliant, it can only withdraw from the stage of history.  The creators of mahogany furniture design who have a correct and profound understanding of inheritance and innovation will surely recognize the changes in lifestyle brought about by social changes. The newly emerged consumer groups of mahogany furniture will certainly put forward new requirements for the creation of mahogany furniture . The applicability of furniture is a manifestation of lifestyle requirements, with strong era characteristics and social characteristics, and lifestyle is a culture, and the newly emerging consumer groups need "rich and expensive" luxury furniture to correspond to taste.  "When ancient times are not good, there are different disadvantages today", which is the calligraphy book of the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Sun Guoting, which means that the ancients did not write words that were not understood by the people at that time, but today's calligraphy creation must have some Innovate but cannot escape the characteristics of the times. After thousands of years, how profound and thorough Sun Cheating's mythology has been, it has uttered the dialectical relationship of "inheritance and innovation". If you borrow it for the creation of mahogany furniture closely related to your lifestyle, you will benefit a lot. It is a pity that some mahogany furniture products are both "good-looking" and "same as disadvantages" at the moment. This is a shame for the increasingly scarce and precious wood, which is a pity.  "Brushes and inks should be at any time", the luxury furniture created by the increasingly scarce mahogany should be like this, otherwise, no matter how noble the material is, it is still "rich but not expensive"!
