I want to learn how to arrange flowers.

Travel may make you meet yourself better, but self-cultivation and observation of the world are not only poems and distant places, but also dialogues with the soul.

There is a saying: flowers are arranged at the beginning of the year, and flowers are called Chinese New Year. "New Year's Eve" refers to the first day of the first lunar month, celebrating the beginning of the New Year and reporting the safety of the New Year. On the eve of the Spring Festival, buying some flowers and plants at the flower market to decorate the atmosphere is a good wish for the New Year and a ceremonial Spring Festival.

What flowers are inserted in the Spring Festival to better set off the auspicious and peaceful atmosphere? Ren Woxing, a reporter from Lan Morning News Travel Weekly, came to the Lotus Language School in Area C of Longneng Home on Beibinhe Road to listen to the sharing of Chinese flower arranging teachers, so that you can talk with flowers and plants on your way home and put the unique flavor of the year in your heart.

When I came to the Lotus Language School, the reporter saw a little girl 10 years old, playing with flowers in her hands in a demonstration way. Teacher Liu Mo, the founder of Lotus Language School, came to give guidance from time to time. "My mother thought I couldn't calm down, so she took me to the Lotus Language School to learn Chinese flower arrangement. Now I like arranging flowers very much. " The little girl told reporters.

Speaking of "flowers", I'm afraid no one doesn't like it, but the flower art and flower pattern that people are generally familiar with are more western-style flower art and Japanese flower arrangement. Talking about Chinese flower arrangement, Liu Mo said, "By chance, I met my teacher, Professor Li Lishu, and I fell in love with Chinese flower arrangement. Everyone knows that the origin of floral art is in China, but few people know it. Professor Li Lishu was originally a high-level teacher of flower arrangement in Japan. Later, she resolutely gave up what she had learned before, and learned the traditional flower arrangement in China from scratch. She has been teaching for about 40 years. In fact, Chinese flower arrangement has a strict system, and students can improve flower arrangement according to the contents of textbooks. "

In recent years, more and more people have begun to pay attention to Chinese flower arrangement. Liu Mo said: "Although Japanese flower arrangement and western flower arrangement are both beautiful, after in-depth study, we will find that Chinese flower arrangement is more extensive and profound. When you insert peach blossoms in spring, you will think of the' peach flies away and burns its glory' in the Book of Songs. ; When I plant lotus flowers in summer, I will think of "Ailian Shuo", which says, "Clear but not evil, straight through, not crawling, fragrant and far and clear ..." I can plant the characteristics of 24 solar terms all year round, and the process of learning is also a process of drawing nutrition from traditional culture, which makes me feel more and more responsible for inheriting China floral art. "

In China's traditional concept of flower arrangement, flower devices have special significance to flowers. China floral art can be divided into six types: plate, bottle, jar, bowl, tube and basket. Liu Mo pointed to a pot of flowers that the students were inserting and told the reporter: "This pot of flowers symbolizes the earth. There is water near the pond, which is cloudy, and the middle place is sunny. In fact, Chinese flower arrangement is deeply nourished by traditional culture and art, absorbing the essence of sister art such as calligraphy and painting, and forming the aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation. The "spirit of mountains and rivers" that the ancients in China yearned for is vividly reflected in Chinese flower arrangement. We often arrange flowers and put a fairy next to the peach grove to make the whole flower arrangement work more attractive and artistic. Chinese flower arrangement advocates nature, which is virtual and real, dry and glorious, and also leaves blank. This is the essential difference between Chinese flower arrangement and western flower arrangement. "

Flower arrangement is auspicious and festive during the Spring Festival.

Japanese flower arrangement emphasizes that it is natural, while western flower arrangement uses shapes and colors to set off the atmosphere. When talking about the differences of Chinese flower arrangement art, Liu Mo said, "Japanese flower arrangement is very simple, which is related to its mode of transmission. During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and they brought China's flower arrangement to Japan. Through the spread of monks, Japanese flower arrangement is more Zen, and the feeling of getting twice the result with half the effort is stronger, unlike Chinese flower arrangement. Chinese flower arrangement is very tolerant, it can be very prosperous, and it can also be the heart of a scholar. Among them, rich treasures can be excavated. "

Talking about greeting the New Year with flowers, Liu Mo said: "According to the weather and local conditions, China will choose different flowers for flower arrangement. Generally, during the Chinese New Year, the ancients would insert a' new dish', also called' new dish'. It is described in Ouyang Zhan's Ode to Spring Cuisine in the Tang Dynasty that people express their expectation and joy for spring by performing, walking and opening spring. Among them, inserting spring jasmine, cooking spring vegetables, hanging flowers and wearing flowers to win the life of spring is to express the interest of spring from the perspective of' flowers'. Five spices such as onion, garlic and ginger are inserted into the ancient basket to make new dishes, and lettuce is called spring dishes. Moreover, you can also hang some red happiness pendants on the flowers. In fact, traditional festivals in China are very meaningful. People in China say that the winter solstice is as big as a year, and the 15th day of the second lunar month is mid-spring, the birthday of a hundred flowers. The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month and the Mid-Autumn Festival are the festivals that China people are most concerned about, and they are also the profound meaning of' full moon'. "

"Spring Festival flower arrangement should have auspicious and festive significance. Let's talk about material selection first. Chimonanthus praecox, narcissus and magnolia are all good choices; Magnolia, peony and begonia also mean' Jade Hall is rich'; Plum blossoms, bamboo and pine trees also mean' noble and longevity'; Nandina domestica, a kind of flower with flowers and fruits, means' blossom and bear fruit'. In the Chinese world, more people like to express the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival with orthodox big red flowers and hang some red decorations. Secondly, talk about the insertion method. Chinese flower arrangement takes three main branches as the main framework, so that the branch is the mission of the flower and determines the pattern of the whole flower. The first branch can be upright, inclined or upside down, and there are also guest branches and main branches. In the process of arranging flowers, we should respect nature and pay attention to the hierarchical and spatial relationship between flowers. Chinese flower arrangement is a typical space art. If you look closely, there will be three scenes: front, middle and back, upper, middle and lower, which look flat, high and far. "

Liu Mo pointed to a dish flower work and said, "The formation and prevalence of Chinese flower arrangement are different. The vase is high, the cauliflower is deep and wide, the crock is thick and strong, the bowl is hidden in China, the crock is elegant, and the basket is dignified. Everyone inserts his own bouquet of heart flowers according to his own understanding of the world. "

Since ancient times, people in China have special feelings for flower arrangement. Blending into nature, yearning for the unity of man and nature, and smiling at flowers are the knowledge and understanding of everything, which may be the highest realm of Chinese flower arrangement.

Chinese flower arrangement art originated from the Six Dynasties 1500 years ago and is one of the important classical arts in China. At that time, flower arrangement was mainly used for festivals and religious flowers. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was called "four arts" together with "burning incense, ordering tea and hanging pictures", which became the most common and basic life accomplishment of people at that time.

There are four types of Chinese flower arrangement: landscape flower, concept flower, heart-shaped flower and modeling flower. China Floriculture is based on China people's unique taste in the beauty of flowers and trees, first of all, fun, second of all, form, and then color. For example: point a bunch of incense to the Buddha; Fold the willow and give it to others; Song Yu's parents are alive; Praise the virtue of a gentleman; Or blessing and care for friends; Or make an indescribable shape, make a fake bottle plate for the ground, and make a strange artistic expression.
