Art of flower arrangement: naming skills of flower arrangement works

The name of the flower arrangement work is also a part of the work. Giving an appropriate name to the flower arrangement works can strengthen and contrast the theme of the works, make the works more artistic and poetic, guide the appreciator to associate with the works, and thus achieve emotional harmony with the author. Naming plays an important role in the artistic conception of flower arrangement works, which is also an attractive and pleasing place for Chinese flower arrangement. There are two kinds of naming for flower arrangement works: prescribed proposition naming and free proposition naming.

1, naming the specified proposition

Some flower arrangement works are named first, and then created according to the name, and the materials are selected around the theme. The same proposition has different forms of expression. At present, some flower arranging competitions often stipulate some topics and evaluate the quality of the works according to them. For example, the World Horticultural Exposition held in Yunnan in 1999 stipulated the theme of "man and nature" in the flower arrangement competition, which allowed the creators to have extensive association and creativity in composition, conception, selection of flowers and materials, artistic expression, etc., and then created richer and better works with artistic skills.

2. Free proposition naming,

Some flower arrangement works are named after their creation, according to their subject matter, theme and artistic conception. The naming of flower arrangement works should be appropriate, implicit, innovative and unforgettable. It requires a certain literary accomplishment and expressive skills, and requires concise words, elegant taste and poetry, and naming also has its artistic strength. Naming method is called "expressing feelings with scenery" and "expressing spirit with form" in traditional flower arrangement creation. There are several common naming methods.

(1) Naming such flowers with their symbolic meaning and characteristics requires a clear understanding of the flower language and the creative intention of the works, such as "Ling Bo Wonderland", which takes narcissus as the creative theme to express the natural beauty of narcissus; Three Friends in the Cold Year, Looking for Chrysanthemum to Visit Plum, Gentlemen's Meeting, Yutangchun, etc. with plum, orchid and chrysanthemum as themes. Jasmine and rose have beautiful flowers, so they are named "fragrant and ethereal".

(2) naming plants with the help of seasonal landscape changes reflects the changes of the sun, the moon, the stars and the four seasons, which is seasonal and can arouse the audience's appreciation. For example, Song of Spring with the theme of Silver Willow and Winter jasmine, Golden Autumn and Independent Cold Autumn with chrysanthemum as the main materials are typical season names. In addition, there are "snow covered red berries" with starry sky as the main material, and sunflowers as the "morning light" and so on.

(3) When naming a flower arrangement work, write the spirit according to the shape, confuse the false with the true, use image thinking to expand the association, compare the real scene, and name it appropriately according to its expression. For example, rich bamboo and bamboo sticks are inserted into a windmill-shaped "wind wheel rotation". The "infinite scenery of dangerous peaks" was erected and inserted into a mountain shape with nest ferns. There are also "Lijiang River in Spring" and "Soaring Up".

(4) Named after natural landscapes, such as spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain, snow, wind and frost, morning glow, famous mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, etc., are all beautiful landscapes in nature. Taking this as the creative theme, a large number of outstanding works in flower arrangement creation have been produced. For example, the work "Flying Clouds in the Woods" based on red rosewood and calla lily mainly shows the scenery of clouds flying in the dense forests of nature, while the work "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" based on elegant lotus flowers mainly shows the beautiful lotus pond in the faint moonlight, which further highlights the author's thoughts. Return to the ship in the sky, Moonlight on a Spring River and Wild Goose in Pingsha are also works.

(5) Drawing lessons from ancient poems and songs to name the works has profound implications and long artistic conception. Making the past serve the present and expressing emotion through the past can often produce a unique artistic effect with far-reaching artistic conception. Such as "Deep Courtyard", "Stunning Photo", "Lonely Sail Far Shadow", "Sailing Across the Horizon" and "Time Like Water", these exquisite and quaint names vividly depict the works, which make people think deeply and have endless aftertaste.

(6) Naming a work with a feeling and emotion requires the usual accumulation of literature to properly express the thoughts and feelings of the work. For example, Water Knots Together, Time Wastes, Hundred Wars, Tender Feelings Like Water, Nostalgia, Ice Heart and Childhood Memories are all excellent works.

(7) Expressed in an abstract way, the freedom of naming is greater. For example, the work Running Water is an abstract way to express the natural landscape and simulate the movement of running water with the smooth extension of linear materials.

In short, naming can be considered from many aspects, as long as the author is good at capturing the specific feelings and creative intentions when creating, it can be used as the name of the work. Naming works is one of the characteristics of Chinese flower arrangement art.
