The fusion of "life spirit" into the pieces is another one of Chinese furniture's special characteristics. A marble back of a chair engraved with a landscape scene or a bird or flower design, are both examples of the blending of furniture with the environment.
而椅子把手雕個龍頭，椅腳作鳳爪狀；或嵌塊畫了山水的大理石在椅背，雕一片花鳥圖案在兩根木條相交的直角上，也就是融合自然了。
