There are four kinds of beds in ancient furniture, namely couch, arhat bed, shelf bed and treadmill bed. The latter two are only used as bedding for sleeping; The first two have the function of sitting besides sleeping. In ancient China, there were two kinds of sleep: big sleep was a formal sleep at night, and a nap was a nap such as a lunch break. Lounge chairs and arhat beds were used to take a nap and entertain guests, while bed racks and treadmills were used to sleep, but not to entertain guests.
Before the Han Dynasty, people in China lived on the floor, so the center of life must be around the sleeping place, and all the guests are around the host's sleeping place. Over time, the hierarchical concept of China people's hospitality has been formed. Before the Qing Dynasty, even in the early years of the Republic of China, the highest hospitality of China people was always on the bed or on the kang. The main function of the couch and arhat bed is not to sleep, but to entertain guests.
