Chinese feudal society has a glorious history of two thousand years, which is one thousand years longer than European feudal society. Apart from the basic condition of self-sufficient natural economy, the development of handicraft industry is an important reason. Handicraft industry not only meets people's material needs, but also meets their endless spiritual needs. The craftsmanship of the past dynasties is a combination of the masterpieces of all the craftsmen in the world.

The ancients found that the cultivation of this interest lies in long-term accumulation. A round jade, pierced to tie, wearing in the body, the spiritual power followed. The literati and craftsmen felt that they had a great responsibility. Their ideas became more broad and their craft became more cautious. As time goes on, craftsmen who keep on cutting make craft an art in life.

In the Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, metal technology was also renovated. Gold, silver, copper and iron, regardless of the high and low, are hammered, carved and engraved by craftsmen, which also add color to life. Decoration is the means of aesthetics. It is a great invention of Chinese people to protect and modify perishable materials with corrosion-resistant substances. From the wooden lacquer bowl of Liangzhu Culture 7000 years ago to the bronze enamel ware of Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, the long history is constantly telling the progress of civilization to future generations.

In the Museum of Arts and crafts, there are perennial exhibitions of copper thread cutting enamel ware, copper painting enamel ware, metal statues, bronze ware, lacquerware, jade ware, wood ware, Baibao inlay and other treasures of the past dynasties, as well as a live display of "Songxi thatched cottage".

There were three climaxes of Chinese ancient architectural achievements in the Qin and Han Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, and Ming and Qing Dynasties, but only in terms of doors and windows, Ming and Qing dynasties had the highest achievements. It is simple and complicated symbiosis, gorgeous and simple coexistence, not only to ensure the appearance of wood structure building coordination and unity, but also to ensure the rich and casual interior decoration.

As the most important part of architecture, Chinese ancient doors and windows complement each other in function and decoration. For thousands of years, it not only made life convenient for the ancients, but also carried a lot of information of Chinese traditional culture. The doors and windows museum displays the ancient doors and windows, partition fans, fences and other building components of the houses in the Yangtze River and Yellow River Valley of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
