Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story.In the past the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father,brothers or very close male cousins.When an admirer paid a visit,however,she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden.Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one.If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks,she might agree to take him as a husband. Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical(实际的) use as furniture.Acting as a moving wall or divider,it can be the perfect match(相配) for modern sofas and walls,which adds style to them. The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture.
