The following is the application and collocation method of peony in court flower arrangement art that I brought to you. Welcome to reading.

Application of Peony in Palace Flower Arrangement Art

Because peony embodies the wind of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is especially respected and honored as the national flower. The palace held a rigorous and luxurious peony flower arrangement. As Luo Qiu said in the earliest monograph of flower arrangement in China, "Flower Nine Tin": "Heavy top (wind), Jin Cuodao (cut), sweet spring (diffuse), jade jar (store), carved base (set), painting, turning, beauty (appreciation), new poetry. The nine procedures of peony court flower arrangement, known as "Nine Tin", are regarded as supreme, solemn and unchangeable ceremonies, just like the nine vessels given by the emperor to great or powerful princes and ministers. There are strict rules on the placement of flower arrangement, cutting tools, water quality to be supplied, several frames to be hung, and several paintings. Painting, reciting poems, composing music, and drinking mellow wine can make you enjoy the art at many levels, such as vision, hearing and smell.

The court flower arrangement in Song Dynasty was different. In the second volume of Old Wulin, Zhou Mi recorded in detail the prosperity of flower arrangement in the Southern Song Dynasty: "... As for Zhong Meitang, the appreciation of big flowers (peony) is extremely prosperous. There are three layers of carved colored columns on the left and right sides of the main hall, protected by colored peony paintings. There are jade grinders, crystals, gold pots, big food glass, palace kilns and other bottles, and each of them has strange products, such as Wei Yao, Royal Clothes Yellow and Zhao Dianhong. Don't stick big hooves between silver foils, plant thousands of nests all around. As for the Liang Dong window room, flowers are also stored in Xiangtong, and there are Chihiro. " Volume 7 still remembers that the emperor, the emperor's father-in-law and the queen mother had fun in the garden, drank wine and watched songs and dances, and "went to the Golden Hall to spend big flowers (peony). Three sides are covered with slopes, and there are about 1,000 peony plants, each with a gold-lettered tooth plate and a large blue silk screen; Don't cut a thousand erotic samples, set the flower stand, crystal, glass, azure, Ru kiln, gold vase; It is about two feet high and two feet three inches in diameter. There are fifteen red flowers in the temple of light. " Another book, The Remains of the West Lake, contains the flower arrangement for the sixth birthday: "Pick thousands of peony flowers, which are filled in crystal glass, azure, Ru kiln and copper bottles." "There is also an agarwood table and a statue of a white jade merchant, three feet high and one foot three inches in diameter, with fifteen branches inserted on it." The scale is extremely grand.

Palace flower arrangement pays great attention to the collocation of flower materials, and the choice of flower materials is often determined by its personality. Luo Qiu thinks that "Xu Lan, Hui Hui, Mei and Lian can all make packages" for the flowers with peony. "If hibiscus, hibiscus, fairies, mountain trees and weeds are just ears", they are completely unsuitable for making ingredients. Influenced by ethics at that time, flower arrangement in Song Dynasty respected Confucian laws and regarded a kind of flower arrangement as a social order. Autumn's Peony Honor and Disgrace Record is the most incisive and complete.

Material matching methods are divided into direct material matching method and indirect material matching method.

Direct ingredients: Wang, Feiweihong, Jiuqihuang, Shouan, Jiurui, Red, Red, Qianxifei, Sky Red, Lotus Leaf Jiurui, Shifu Lvye Shouan, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, First Class Red, Example Halotan Heart and Danzhou Red.

Collateral material collocation method: According to ten kinds of relations between relatives and friends, such as master, roommate, mingmu, Qiang, relatives, vegetables, Qili, Waiping, Gong Zhong and conformity, 65,438+040 kinds of miscellaneous weeds are selected for external arrangement according to grades.

For example, draw a Longquan vase with lotus ears, protect the lower body with a vase rack for picking rhinoceros, insert two-color peony on it to represent the king and queen respectively, and match a peach and an herb to symbolize the owner and the closest relative respectively. The ratio of flower height to vessel height is eight to five, and the branches are distinct, which constitutes the perfect world of conceptual flowers in Song Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty Tuben's History Table of the Bottle Moon imitates the concept simplification of the Song Dynasty mound, which is divided into flower champion (main branch), flower guest (guest branch) and flower envoy (envoy branch). Peony is listed as the first flower in March, with Sichuan Rhododendron, pear, radix aucklandiae and bauhinia as the flowers, and wooden pens, roses and cloves as the flowers. Yuan Hongdao's History of the Bottle also has the principle of peony matching flowers.

In a word, the artistic style of court flower arrangement is characterized by noble and gorgeous, plump and gorgeous, grand in specifications and magnificent. The use of flowers is precious, flowers are exquisite and accessories are precious.

Palace flower arrangement is characterized by its ostentation and extravagance, bright colors and strong decorative atmosphere. Flower arrangement works are plump and huge, with lush foliage. There are strict procedures for planting, such as selecting flowers, containers, accessories and display environment, which fully shows the power, wealth and majesty of the royal giants.
