According to historical records, traces of red sandalwood appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it was only seen in the chessboard, incense burner and other fine objects in the court. In the Ming Dynasty, red sandalwood began to be valued by the royal family, and in the early Qing Dynasty, the household department set up special procurement points in South Asia and Southeast Asia for the palace to purchase red sandalwood.

In the Qing Dynasty, the small-leaved red sandalwood was named "the wood of the emperor" because of its long-term purple, and became the exclusive possession of the royal family. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty exempted heavy money, and after a hundred years, he replaced the palace furniture with red sandalwood.

However, red sandalwood grows slowly, and it takes more than 800 years to become a timber. Therefore, the red sandalwood used in the Qing Dynasty was mostly stout and unruly, and most of them were made into seats and furniture based on their characteristics.
