The chair is usually considered to be a transition from sitting on the floor to sitting on a chair. Before the Han and Wei Dynasties, the ancients all sat on the ground. In the Western Han Dynasty, with the frequent exchanges between the Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions, the relative isolation between the countries in the past was broken. It entered northern China and quickly became popular in the Central Plains, becoming an indispensable part of Chinese classical furniture.

Because Jiaotai was introduced from the Western Regions, it was called the "Hu bed" at that time, and the top chair came into being on the basis of the Hu bed. After the Song Dynasty, the "top spot" began to appear frequently in common sayings, novels and paintings, and the "top spot" refers to it.Editor/Ma Xue
