It used to be there wasn't much available to read, only Ching Dynasty Furniture published by the National Museum of History. Later the antiquarian Wang Shih-hsiang wrote such books as Treasures of Ming Dynasty Furniture and Research on Ming Dynasty Furniture. And there is a quarterly published by the Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture in Renaissance, California. All of these are of much help.
過去坊間資料有限，只有國立歷史博物館曾出過一本＜清代傢具藝術＞，後來大陸古文物專家王式襄也出了＜明式傢具珍賞＞、＜明式傢具研究＞等書，另外美國加州文藝復興鎮「中國古典傢具博物館」出的季刊，都很有幫助。
