As for why it is no longer made, it is actually related to Yongzheng's life style. First, Yong Zhengdi is a devout Buddhist. Before he became emperor, he was a well-known good man. However, a large amount of ivory is needed in the process of making the ivory pedestal, which means that a large number of elephants need to be killed, which Yong Zhengdi does not want to see.
Secondly, Yongzheng is an emperor with a simple life style, and the production process of ivory summer sleeping mat is very complicated, which will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and financial resources. The production of ivory cushion is different from other ivory products, and it is only simple grinding, and the process is very complicated. The most difficult and tedious process is to slice the ivory, and the requirements are consistent. Then, the cut ivory pieces are polished, cut into silk and finally woven. As recorded in Records of the Qing Dynasty and Records of Yongzheng, it can be seen that ivory table technology is more difficult and complicated than expected, and the cost is naturally very expensive. Yong Zhengdi, who has always been thrifty, certainly can't accept it. That's what the record says.
"Wait for more than college students. I'm in some electrical appliances, but it's simple and applicable, not gorgeous and clever, and very clear. Guangdong once entered the ivory stage, but I didn't take it, thinking it was just an accidental offering, and there was no law. Today, there are more donors, which is not my intention. The husband weaves ivory as a utensil or a round fan. His body is still small, so this system is used as a seat. Don't use a lot of materials, it will cost twice as much labor and raise luxury goods. The governor of Guangdong was told that if Guangdong craftsmen did this, they would be forbidden to make anything else. If you come from the ocean and abandon it, the wind of making will naturally stop. Guangdong ivory seats are prohibited from being purchased by the people. "
