Japanese flower arrangement, also known as flower path and Japanese flower arrangement, belongs to one of the traditional Japanese flower arrangement art * * * Floarr * *, and is the art of' living plant flower material' modeling. Japanese ikebana has a long history and a tradition of more than 500 years. It is said that its birthplace is the hexagonal hall built by Shoto Kutaishi. The following is what I arranged for you, hoping to help you.

* * *1* * Introduction to Japanese Flower Arrangement

Japanese flower arrangement originated in China, but this art has been highly developed in Japan, forming one of the artistic forms with Japanese national cultural characteristics-the flower path.

Japanese flower arrangement is booming, with many schools and characteristics. To understand the characteristics of various schools of flower arrangement in Japan, we can start with the basic shapes of flower arrangement.

In principle, the shape of Japanese flower arrangement consists of three main branches. The longest flower branch is the first, the second is the second, and the shortest flower branch is the third. The three main branches are different in height, acting on the upper section, the lower section and the middle section respectively, and adding decorative branches to realize three-dimensional modeling. Because the three main branches play an important role in expressing the form of flower arrangement, they are also called "service branches", representing the talents of heaven, earth and people respectively.

Heaven and earth people also played a positioning role in the composition of flower patterns. The position of the upper branch is in the sky, the lower branch is in the ground, and the middle branch is in people. This flower pattern, which consists of three lines of heaven, earth and people, is called "three-line flower arrangement" or "triangular flower arrangement"

According to the different positions and functions of the three branches, the shapes of flower arrangement are divided into three types: true, line and grass. "Truth" takes the form of standing posture, expressing correct and quiet aesthetic feeling; "Grass" takes the form of scribbling, indicating the beauty of freedom and unrestrained; "Walking" takes the middle form of "truth" and "grass" to express a relaxed and quick aesthetic feeling.

To sum up, Japanese flower arrangement is based on three branches symbolizing heaven and earth, and the change of flower pattern is obtained from three aspects of real grass.

The main schools of Japanese flower arrangement are: Chifang Creek, Caoyue Creek, Xiaoyuyuan Creek, Gouxi, Juji Island Creek, Yuanzhou Creek, Songyuetang Gouxi, Immature Creek, etc. The names of the three main branches mentioned above are not uniform in various schools.

The six-foot-slips are called pear flowers, and the branches used in the upper section are chastity, the symbol in the middle section and the twips in the lower section. The characteristics of Chifang flower arrangement are: "truth" is strong, "vice" is inserted from the back corner, "body" is rooted in the front, and all branches are combined into a relaxed and comfortable flower pattern. In addition, the other branches of auxiliary truth, vice and body are collectively called "treatment"

According to the bending angle of the true branch, the angle of the "secondary" branch to the back corner and the angle of the "body" branch to the front corner are determined in Chifang flower arrangement. Flower patterns are divided into three types according to the angle: truth, line and grass, and the three types of true grass change into truth, truth, truth, truth and truth respectively.

Cylindrical vases are mostly used for real flowers. The width from the socket to the outer edge of the vase and the bending degree of the real branches determine the three changes of truth, truth and truth.

This series of flower patterns adopt vases with thin face, wide mouth and pot shape. Like real patterns, the true and false lines, lines and grass are distinguished according to the width from the socket to the outer edge of the vase and the curvature of the real branches. However, a good vase has a larger caliber than a real vase; The bending degree of true branches can also be increased, and the flower shape will be more dynamic.

The floral devices used in grass patterns are divided into water basins and so-called herbal vases such as double-layer tubes, boats, moons and pendants. When using the basin, we should distinguish the truth of grass, the walk of grass and the walk of grass as we distinguish the truth and the walk of grass. However, when using plant vases, it should be decided according to the drooping degree of true branches.

② Ryutsuki Grass is the representative of the modernization and popularization of Japanese flower arrangement. When arranging flowers, we pay special attention to the sincere spirit, which contains lofty ideals, vivid patterns, harmonious colors and suitable arrangements. This is a remarkable feature of flower arrangement.

The flower pattern of grass and moon can be divided into "basic flower pattern" and "applied flower pattern". The basic pattern is the principle of pattern composition and can be divided into four types: vertical, horizontal, horizontal and vertical. The "application pattern" is derived from the change of the position and angle of the flower branches in the "basic pattern", and the harmony of flower materials, flower devices, placement positions and decorative environment should be considered. "Applying flower patterns" is an important means for flower arrangers to express their individuality and thoughts.

In the grass-moon flow flower arrangement, three main branches constitute the main body of the flower outline. The first branch is Heaven, the second is Earth, and the third is Man or Control. "Heaven" is the center of the main branch, and it is also the benchmark to determine the size of other main branches and works. The length of the "sky" depends on the caliber and height of the flower organ. Generally speaking, the large pattern is twice the caliber plus height, the medium pattern is one and a half times, and the small pattern is equal. After the decision of "Heaven", "Earth" is three quarters of "Heaven" and "Man" is half or three quarters of "Earth". Flower branches other than the main branch, commonly known as subordinate branches, can play the role of assisting the main branch and make the work perfect.

* * * 3 * * The origin of Japanese flower arrangement.

Since Chifang was a little wild girl, there have been many talented people. For example,/kloc-In the mid-5th century, a large number of people gathered to appreciate its beautiful flower arrangement. /kloc-in the 0/5th century, the Muramachi era in Japan completed the flower-standing style, which resulted in the style of flowers, blooming flowers and investment. Pear flowers usually consist of seven or nine main branches. The names are truth, truth, evil, taboo, seeing transcendence, control, flow, trunk and front. In the16th century, the pool workshop of flower arrangement theory was established, which was specialized, suitable, glorious and excellent. Then, in the seventeenth century, the second generation of red specialty was produced. Later, at the beginning of19th century, there was a pool workshop. Chifang flower arrangement has been developed for forty-five years.

China literati flower arrangement also has a great influence on Japanese flower arrangement. In particular, The History of Bottles in the Ming Dynasty spread to Japan. Many people try to figure out and study, forming and developing many flower arranging schools. Xiaoyuanxi is also one of them. At the same time, Japanese flower arrangement adopts China's Confucianism as its inner artistic thought, such as regarding the three main flower branches as the universe of heaven, earth and human beings. Another example is Wu Shengliu, founded in Meiji era, which advocates nature and is full of realistic techniques, including China's thought of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
