Basic pattern of flower arrangement

Classification Overview Oriental flower arrangement is represented by China and Japanese. Different from the pursuit of geometric modeling in western flower arrangement, oriental flower arrangement pays more attention to the smart beauty of lines and shapes.

The pattern of oriental flower arrangement consists of three main branches, which are called "subject, guest, envoy", "heaven, earth, people" or "truth, goodness and beauty" according to different genres. Although the titles are different, they all express the philosophical thoughts of the orientals.

In China, we call the longest branch "making branch". Taking "Zuozhi" as a reference, the basic flower patterns can be divided into: upright, inclined, flat, tiled and upside down.

The basic pattern classification of oriental flower arrangement is upright, which makes the branches stand upright and insert at an angle of no more than 30 degrees. The pattern is peaceful and steady, and the upright pattern is often used in formal and grand occasions.

The oblique type makes the branches insert obliquely at an angle of 30-60 degrees. The pattern is leisurely and beautiful, and the works inserted at will are suitable for daily life.

The flat type makes the branches inserted obliquely from the flower mouth at an angle of 60 degrees to 90 degrees. The pattern is free and easy, with strong sense of movement and personality, and it is inserted in special occasions.

The flower brick makes the branches different from other flower patterns, and it should be "erected first and then inclined out", but inserted directly along the edge of the flower device or the water surface. The pattern is peaceful, comfortable and satisfied.

The upside-down type makes the branches protrude from the flower organ and bend below the edge of the flower organ. The pattern has a strong sense of conquest and adventure, showing a strong flavor of life. Western flower arrangement generally refers to the traditional art form of flower arrangement in Europe and America. There are many brightly colored flowers, most of which are inserted with geometric figures. The following are some basic patterns of western flower arrangement.

Hemisphere. Is this the most common pattern we see? Cut the flower material into the same length and insert it into the flower paste to form a hemisphere. Hemisphere flower is a kind of flower pattern with flowers blooming all around, which is soft and romantic and suitable for weddings, festivals and other occasions.

Triangles are divided into symmetrical triangle and asymmetric triangles. In ancient civilizations such as ancient Egypt, it was often used as decoration. Symmetrical triangle is relatively stable, but all of them are single-sided patterns, which are often used on desktop or corner furniture against the wall.

Horizontal flower is also a kind of flower pattern in all directions, which originated from the decorative flowers used in ancient Greek sacrificial altars and is often used in conference tables, dining tables, lecture tables and so on. Similar to the hemisphere, the horizontal flower is also a beautiful flower pattern on all sides, luxurious and rich.

Fan-shaped flowers are radioactive semicircles, luxurious and beautiful, just like proud peacocks. Feather and lace fans originated from the hands of court women. Suitable for porch, wall decoration and tables placed against the wall.

Waterfalls are like waterfalls. Waterfall flowers are inserted from top to bottom, flowing, soft and romantic. This is also the most commonly used flower pattern for brides besides spherical shape, right?

Western flower arrangements are conical, oval, spherical, vertical and horizontal, as well as letter-shaped S, T and L, each with its own charm.
