Yijiayan Jushi Qiwan bu 一家言·居室器玩部

The text known as Yijiayan Jushi Qiwan bu 一家言·居室器玩部 "Talks on one house, chapters on residences and on furnishings" actually comprises the chapters Jushi bu 居室部 "Residences", and Qiwan bu 器玩部 "Furnishings and fine things" from Li Yu's 李漁 (1610-1680) book Xianqing ouji 閑情偶寄. The date when this chapter was extracted and first published separately remains unknown. In 1931, the Society for Research in Chinese Architecture (Zhongguo Yinzao Xueshe 中國營造學社) issued a modern edition of this text. A facsimile of this edition was released in 1983 by the Shanghai Kexue Jishu Chubanshe 上海科學技術出版社, alongside Li Dou's 李斗 (1749-1817) construction manual Gongduan yingzao lu 工段營造錄.

The Yijiayan Jushi Qiwan bu mainly records the author's views on the interior decoration of traditional Chinese dwellings. Its content concerns the design, construction, and arrangement of houses (1 Fangshe 房舍), windows and railings (2 Chuanglan 窗欄), walls (3 Qiangbi 牆壁), hanging scrolls of calligraphed couplets and plaques (4 Lianbian 聯匾), and rockeries (5 Shanshi 山石). The furnishings chapter discusses structure and design (1 Zhidu 制度), and the arrangement and placement (2 Weizhi 位置) of furniture such as tables and desks, chairs and stools, beds and canopies, cabinets, chests and trunks, as well as collectables like antique objects, jars and vases, screens and scrolls, tea sets, bowls and dishes, and lamps and candles.
