China window screen- A reliable product for decoration, ventilation and lighting



Most of the Chinese window screens are from Guangzhou, Beijing and Chengdu in china and from Chinese homes in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. These window screens are now in antique markets in few locales in china but earlier in 18th and 19th century, these window screens were effectively used to decorate and protect homes. These antique pieces should be carefully selected as people have started keeping newly manufactured window screens in antique markets.
Chinese window screens are authentic antique pieces from 19th century and earlier times which are very beautiful and are used to produce beautiful wall hangings. These window screens can also be built into walls in remodeled and new homes but are hardly seen being used in new homes after breaking the old homes for re-construction. Durable China windowscreens can be paired with other screens to produce a dramatic headboard and can also be used behind the glass in a customized divider or door. 
In ancient Chinese buildings, windows are used for ventilation, lighting, shape building elevation and organizing the space. Windows function as a beautiful picture frame in ancient Chinese architecture whereas in the west, windows are used for letting in fresh air and light. Traditional window screen decoration involves a combination of use and beauty and various aesthetic structural languages such as straight lines, vertical lines, arc lines and traverse lines of different thickness and density are expressed completely. Developing over time, window screen designs include cultural connotations such as rustic folk customs and rich ethnic cultural backgrounds expressing desire for a happy, secure and joyful life in a symbolic fashion.
 Traditional Chinese window screen designs include geometrical patterns such as Buddhist swastika design, windmill design and H-shaped design.
Windmill design: There is a folk custom of manufacturing toy windmills from local materials such as grass-blade, leaf, wheat straw etc since ancient times and this is the origin of windmill design. This windmill design is gifted with the blessing of “luck and joy always” and means worshipping the “mother nature”.
Buddhist swastika shaped design: Swastika design symbolizes “good luck in everything” or “everything will take on a new look” and is a lucky and auspicious folk pattern since a long time in china. It also means paying respect and praying to the Buddha because it resembles Buddhism.
H-shaped design: A pattern of H-shape has a lot of grace, it symbolizes “a glorious future” and therefore, is admired by many people
