The Taishi Chair
The Taishi Chair. This is a comfortable, round-backed armchair. An official of the Song Dynasty sought to curry favor with Qin Kuai, the treacherous prime minister, or taishi. So, he added a lotus leaf-shaped decoration to the back of Qin's chair where his head rested. The addition quickly became a fad, and was hence named after the prime minister.
