In the long history of China, with the changes of the dynasty, furniture often reflects the different folk culture and historical traditions over the period. It also reflects the regional features and differences in different areas. Based on changes in times, society, politics, economy and culture, the furniture has been changed in the form and style. The furniture not only acts as tools at home, but also represents the historical record. The furniture of Qing style is closer to modern times with its historical positioning and influence. The components of Qing style furniture is still used and can be seen in the production of traditional furniture in Taiwan. Statistical data is used to analyze furniture component and to explore their possible development and relevance in this study. The purpose of this study includes the following three points: (1) To understand the evolution of Qing style furniture from the cultural context of Chinese furniture. (2) To explore the relevance and difference between the styles of Qing style and Ming style furniture. (3) To analyze the components and structure of each part of the Qing furniture. Theoretical foundations and data have been made for the traditional structure and form of Qing style furniture by morphology analysis. Through the study and structure analysis of Qing style furniture, the cognition of the development and influencing factors of Chinese furniture are increased. Quantitative analysis showed that 70% of the desktop end are plane shape; the table lower edges include no waist 50%, plain apron 35%, without spandrels 53% ; 69% of the leg shapes are straight; 48% of the upper leg structures are shoulder tenon-and-mortise work; 40% of the lower legs have the horseshoe shape; 58% of the table legs have no element support; 30% of Recessed-leg table side structures are outer panel; 66% of kang table side structures have no secondary structure; 57% of incense stand side structures have no secondary structure. The results of this study indicate that: 1. Quantitative analysis and forms of furniture can be used to explore its construction method and characteristics; 2. Regularities in production method of Qing style furniture are discovered; 3. In Qing Dynasty, the construction methods for furniture and table work are similar.
