Bottle flower originated in China.

Bottle flowers originated in Nanqi in the fifth century.

Bottle flower is China's traditional life aesthetics. Almost everyone in ancient literati would put a bottle of flowers on their desks. It is to put a bunch of flowers on various utensils, which is full of life interest and poetic.

There are many descriptions of vase flowers in Li Yu's Essay, Shen Fu's Six Chapters of a Floating Life and Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions. But for many people, the word vase flower is still relatively unfamiliar. We may think of the art of flower arrangement or Japanese flower arrangement. But in fact, these are not vase flowers, they all originated from vase flowers. If you want to know this kind of China traditional art that has been circulating for more than 1000 years, you can start with the beauty of vase flowers.

Mr. Xu, author of The Beauty of Bottled Flowers, deputy director of Gongwangfu Institute of Chinese Studies, space art planner and director of China Flower Arrangement and Floriculture Association. There is considerable research on the application of vase flowers in art exhibitions and contemporary living spaces, and they provide exhibition and design services for related art exhibitions and cultural activities such as Gongwangfu, National Museum, China Art Museum and Palace Museum all the year round.

Xu advocates "artistic life". So how does the art of vase flowers live? This is not as simple as arranging flowers. Bottle flowers are art originally, but they can also be well integrated into our lives, adding interest and improving self-cultivation. Xu believes that vase flowers are used to show beauty, and at the same time, this beauty is integrated into its space. Therefore, vase flowers should not pretend to be masters, but should complement each other with the surrounding things.
