What is the mood of a flower arrangement?

The mood of Chinese art flower arrangement?

The art of flower arrangement is usually categorized into oriental flower arrangement and western flower arrangement in terms of its characteristics and art forms. Western flower arrangement focuses on a large number of flowers into a decorative pattern, highlighting the artificial rationality of the neat shape.

Oriental flower arrangement is represented by China and Japan, and its style mainly aims at reflecting the natural beauty, line beauty and mood beauty of flower materials, in which the creation of mood is the highest realm pursued by the Chinese art of flower arrangement, which is rooted in ancient Chinese culture and art, and embodies the natural realm pursued by the Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism cultures of Chinese philosophical thought, and integrates the cultural connotations of Chinese poems and paintings.

Thus, the beauty of mood is the contribution of Chinese flower arrangement art to the world flower arrangement art, and it is also the difficult point in the creation of Chinese flower arrangement design. The depth of the mood is also the most important standard to measure the level of Chinese flower arrangement art.

I. Interpretation of mood?

The focus of Chinese artistic flower arrangement is the creation of mood, according to the interpretation of the modern "Dictionary", mood is a literary work of life depicted in the picture and the expression of thoughts and feelings of the integration of the formation of an artistic realm.

So, the mood of artistic flower arrangement can be understood as: the content of the thoughts expressed by the creators of the flower arrangement and the flower arrangement modeling according to the theme **** with the composition of the mood of artistic flower arrangement, which are interdependent and indispensable.

Flower arrangement can be everyone, but the effect of the work is very different. In the flower arrangement works we can appreciate, some works let people see a deep impression, memorable; and some works can not give people an impression. Some works of natural simplicity, simplicity, elegance, but allows people to have a sense of beauty; while some works, although colorful, but can not attract people's interest, that is, the difference between the mood for.

An excellent flower arrangement, there must be innovative modeling. As Hong Kong's famous flower arrangement artist Zhong Yubing said, inserting a pot of good-looking flowers is not difficult, because the flowers themselves are already very beautiful, but to some of the flowers without bright colors or special forms, inserted features, leaving an unforgettable impression, it is necessary to spend more effort.

To do this can only be counted as excellent design of flower arrangement modeling, deeper beauty is the theme of the work under the guidance of people with the author's thoughts and feelings **** Ming things, and even be inspired by the scene outside the scene of the scene, outside the sound of the strings, and the two organically combined in order to achieve a higher state of the art.

As the "Bottle History" on the presentation of the elephant, feeling in the eye, will be in the heart, and the mouth can not say, the mouth can say but the intention can not be solved, the scratching of the table of my image is also the best interpretation of the art of flower arranging in the mood.

The formation of mood?

The ancients said: to know the way, must first know the history, the more you know, the deeper the love. Therefore, to study the formation of mood in Chinese art flower arrangement, in addition to understanding its cultural roots, we must understand the history of its birth in order to better develop.

China is one of the early countries in the world of flower arrangement, the history book of the Sixth Dynasty has a record of flower arrangement in front of the Buddha, which is also the earliest record of flower arrangement in China. In the subsequent history, flower arrangement formed different types with the change of the times, including Buddhist flower arrangement and folk flower arrangement in the early days, and court flower arrangement and literati flower arrangement afterward.

Among them, the literati flower arrangement, with its profound meaning, combined with elegant and graceful line modeling, established its dominant position in Chinese flower arrangement art and became the representative of oriental flower arrangement art.

The literati flower arrangement does not only regard the flower material as the element to express the beauty of form, but also uses the flower to convey the feelings, borrows the flower to make the flower clear, and makes the flower to be the transmitter to express the emotional interest. Ikebana is not only a decorative object, but also a part of life, and a sudden realization of the author's free and abundant source of mind and contact with the outside world.

Many poets and painters in Chinese history have dabbled in the field of flower arranging, such as the painter Xie He of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, the poets Yang Wanli and Lu You of the Song Dynasty, and the gardener Kei Cheng of the Ming Dynasty, who have all left poems, paintings, and theoretical writings on the subject.

The famous monographs on flower arrangement which made outstanding contributions to the formation of Oriental flower arrangement, "Three Sayings on Bottle Flowers", "Spectrum of Bottle Flowers" and "History of Bottle Flowers" were completed by the Ming Dynasty opera singer Gao Lian, painter Zhang Qiande and writer Yuan Hongdao respectively, in which the meanings of flowers, the care of flowers, the modeling of flower arrangement and the techniques were all explained in detail, and thus laid the theoretical foundation for a more systematic flower arrangement in the early period of Chinese flower arrangement.

Perhaps it was because of their intervention that Chinese flower arranging began to act according to the creative principles of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and deliberately pursued a poetic and picturesque artistic realm.

Three, the creation of mood?

Creation of mood, is the artist's aesthetic reproduction, is integrated with the image of life and the formation of the artistic realm, in a limited number of works to express the infinite and far-reaching connotations. There is a scene outside the scene, the meaning of the unexpected. Ikebana creation is called artistic creation because of the far-reaching connotation of the work and the profoundness of the meaning.

Chinese artistic flower arrangement advocates nature, learns from nature and is higher than nature, and is good at utilizing the beauty of natural flowers to entertain and touch people. Not only pay attention to the beauty of the form and color of the flowers, but also pay more attention to the beauty of the content expressed, that is, the beauty of the mood. It is a good idea to borrow things to convey the meaning of the shape of the spirit, intriguing and reverie.

Chinese literature directly related to flowers is rich in content, the ancients often give flowers a certain spiritual meaning. Such as chrysanthemums in the autumn alone, plum blossoms in the snow and frost, symbolizing the character of fearless; orchids noble fragrance, is indifferent to fame and fortune of the flower of the gentleman, symbolizing the high winds of the gentleman; lotus out of the silt and mud without dyeing, purity and innocence; pines and cypresses upright and strong, on behalf of a kind of chastity and unyielding, tenacious and upward spirit; flowers, spring flowers, spring flowers symbolize spring, spring and bright; orchid on behalf of the gentleman's friendship, the friendship of all ages! And so on.

For example, the combination of plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum and orchid is used in flower arrangements to express the feelings of braving the cold, high spirits and purity of the heart, which was very popular among ancient literati. Modern people give flowers a certain language, through a reasonable combination or harmonic expression of mood, is also a very good way.

Chinese folk often like auspicious, flower meaning often accompanied by auspicious, such as lilies mean a hundred years of good and all the best; Narcissus for the water fairy, sacred and pure; peach blossom good luck will come, there is a big show of ambition; dahlia is the meaning of great luck, great happiness; marigold symbolizes health and longevity; ivy symbolizes old age; forget-me-not is the kind of love in the flower; Niannian is a comparison of youthfulness; Bamboo for the Big rich, big, noble good luck and so on.

The realm of art lies in the beauty, so the Chinese art of flower arrangement creation, after determining the direction of creation, insert the beauty of the shape in order to reflect the beauty of the expression of the perfect mood.

After determining the direction of creation, the creator should basically have a preliminary image of the shape of the work to be completed in his mind. At this time, he can then go through the detailed image thinking, use the principles of painting to make a composition in his brain, and adjust the best proportion and position of the flower materials. The final shape of the entire work of fine detail, and then can be specific modeling, in the form of white drawing on paper, can also be directly inserted to do.

Art flower arrangement is generally just the cohesion and reflection of the author's artistic training, so the direction of the content of the creation of the work, do not need to give too much consideration to the environment and the use of the important thing is that the author wants to show what can be shown, what can be shown, and can be shown how deep, so as to decide to create a work of art of the meaning of the depth of the work.

So for creators who have certain skills in flower arranging, the accurate orientation of the creative direction is the most important, which can ultimately decide whether the author can create works with strange, high and far-reaching meanings.

According to the connotation of the mood of Chinese artistic flower arrangement, the creative direction can be determined mainly from the content of literature, the reality of the natural and man-made landscapes, and the composition of the flower arrangement of the flower materials, appliances, etc., and through the use of them or from them to inspire the inspiration to create.
