Furniture of simianping form is likely derived from the earlier method of box-construction, and it became a classic and much revered form during the Ming dynasty. For an early version of a simianping table illustrated in a painting of the Song dynasty, see Special Exhibition of Furniture in Chinese Paintings, The National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1996, pp. 50-1, no. 19.
