What are the basic layout skills of Chinese flower arrangement?

1, broken branch fixation method: some flower branches are hard and not easy to bend, such as loquat, maple, pine and begonia; Some flowers are defective or difficult to fix, so they are not suitable for wire binding. They can be treated by folding branches. The fixed shape of the broken branch is to break a part of the flower branch, but not too much, and it is best not to break it, which is slightly elastic. The method is to hold the branch with both hands, hold the thumb against the fold, and bend the branch with both hands. If the branch has strong toughness and can still bounce back to its original position after bending, pebbles or small pieces of wood can be embedded in the bend to prevent the broken branch from resetting.

2. Fixation method of clamping branches: When the flower branches are inserted into the vase, they often move and misplace, which makes the flower arranging author very nervous. If you want to put the floral art firmly in the vase, you should solve it in two ways according to the specific situation of the flower material. One way is to clamp and fix it with transverse branches. Cut a notch longitudinally at the tail of the woody flower branch to be inserted and clip a twig. The flower branches and twigs are crossed and then inserted into the bottle, so that the flower branches and vases have three supporting points to achieve the purpose of fixing. Another method is to clamp and fix it with straight branches. The clamped branch is vertical, and the length of the attached branch depends on the depth of the vase. The upper part of the attached branch is short enough to tie the flower branch, and the other end is long enough to tie it to the bottom of the vase. This method is most suitable for long vases and Jian Peijun.

3. Bottle mouth chajia fixing method: There are many shapes of bottle mouth chajia, which mainly solves the problem of fixing flower branches because the bottle mouth is too large. When the flower branches with large inclination are displayed in a big mouth vase, a cross-shaped fixing frame can be used to make the flower branches lean against the included angle of the cross of the tea stand. This way, there will be no big deviation in the branch. If the area of the bottle mouth is not too large, a Y-shaped fixing frame can be set to support the branch base on the inner wall of the bottle, and the waist of the branch rests on the notch of the tea nail.

4, incision fixation method: when using the socket to arrange flowers. Some woody flowers are thick and hard, and it is difficult to insert them into the flower base. In order to facilitate the fixation, the method of base incision is generally adopted, that is, after cutting according to the modeling needs of the flower material, several knives are cut longitudinally at the incision to form several small gaps, so that the flower can be inserted into the vase holder smoothly. This phenomenon is not only beneficial to the fixation of flower branches, but also to enlarge the wound surface, which is beneficial to the absorption of water by flower branches.

5. Oblique cutting and fixing method: In the treatment of flower arrangement materials, except for thick and hard woody flowers, general woody flowers and hard herbal flowers all adopt oblique cutting method. Such as silver willow, wintersweet, Chinese cymbidium and so on. It is advisable to insert flowers obliquely. If an upright branch is inserted, simply insert the pedicel downward to insert the flower arrangement. If you want to insert it into an inclined shape, you can first insert the flower branches into an upright shape, and then push the flower branches in the direction that needs to be inclined.
