    Although the furniture of the Song Dynasty was mainly based on the use of local cork, there are also historical records of furniture made of hardwood.

    According to well-documented information, the materials used in the furniture of the Song Dynasty are wood, bamboo, rattan, grass, stone, etc., and mainly wood, which has a wide variety of types, mostly local materials, including poplar, paulownia, fir, catalpa, apricot, elm, cypress, jujube, nanmu, catalpa and other firewood, ebony, sandalwood, rosewood (musk) and other hardwood.

    It is recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Hui Yao Manuscript" that in the 6th year of Kaibao (973 AD), the Liangzhejiang Festival made Qian Weijun pay tribute to "Jinling Seven Treasures with ebony chairs and bedbeds". Ebony is tough, and the use of it and other hardwoods on furniture shows that the furniture making process in the early Northern Song Dynasty has entered a new period, and the poet Chen Youyi in the late Northern Song Dynasty and early Southern Song Dynasty also has the saying of "rope bed ebony table" in the poem "Bodhisattva Man, Lotus". Judging from the wording of the above-mentioned "Golden Ridge Seven Treasures", the ebony production process has reached a considerable level at that time.

    In the Song Dynasty, sandalwood was also used to a certain extent, for example, Song Yang Wengong's "Tan Yuan" recorded: "Xianping, Jingdezhong, the main family made sandalwood Yizhuo a pair." This shows that in the Song Dynasty, there were already furniture made of sandalwood.

    The first volume of Lu You's "Notes on Lao Xue'an" also recorded: "Gaozong used a white wooden imperial chair in Huizong's clothes. Lord Qian entered the Hajj, saw it, and said:

    This sandalwood chair yes? Zhang Jieyu covered her mouth and smiled: "There are many tobacco fat honey locusts in the ban, and the public has already said that he dares to use sandalwood as a chair?"

    "It means that Lord Qian went to visit Huizong, and when he saw a chair made of ordinary wood, he thought it was made of sandalwood.
