According to the analysis of Chinese fir usage in Song Dynasty,it is found that fir generated much deeper influences to cultural behaviors of people in Song Dynasty than previous dynasties.Fir is light and tough and resistant to insects and corrosion. Coffins made of fir can be stored well,so that bodies of dead families are protected from erosion of insects and ants. Hence,it is thus clear that people in Song Dynasty emphasized filial piety of ＂death etiquette＂. Fabrication of a seven-stringed plucked instrument made of fir indicates that people in Song Dynasty valued ＂yin- yang harmony＂during manufacture of the instrument and also developed its manufacture method and the style of composition art. Production of medicine and burning incense made of fir indicates the development of medical level in Song Dynasty and development of people ’s concept of health maintenance,creating more diversified health maintenance culture. Humanistic culture of Song Dynasty was enriched by the flourishing culture of fir.
