Six Traditional Flower Arrangements in China

Traditional flower arrangement is an artistic expression with a long history and profound cultural background. Moreover, in 2008, traditional flower arrangement was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. Its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so it has a development history of more than 3,000 years. Through the changes of illustrations in history, we can also see people's different customs and cultural forms in different times.

The reason why there are artistic forms such as traditional illustrations is that people love flowers, and different flowers have different meanings. In ancient times, immigrant poets liked to pin their feelings on flowers. For example, even the lotus shows a noble quality, which is not stained with mud, clear but not demon. Chrysanthemum represents first frost's unyielding noble sentiment, and orchids growing in the ancient valleys in the mountains represent the beautiful quality of staying away from the filth and noise of the world and not colluding with the secular world.

Traditional flower arrangement is very beautiful in shape, because the choice of flower branches is also very demanding. Generally speaking, we choose some flowers full of charm and lines. In the choice of flowers, instead of pursuing gorgeous colors and rich postures as in the west, we emphasize a kind of natural and harmonious beauty. Therefore, it is closer to nature, soft and artistic, and shows different charm through some simple lines, contrast between light and shade, and combination of reality and reality.

Traditional flower arrangement is more about expressing the beauty of artistic conception and artistic conception. Such an art form actually combines many traditional cultures, including calligraphy and painting, and shapes a more pleasing artistic expression by absorbing its advantages. Through such traditional culture, we can also show an elegant mentality and a very profound historical background.
