Travel may make you meet yourself better, but self-cultivation and world observation are not only poems and distant places, but also a dialogue with your heart.

There is a saying: arranging flowers at the beginning of the year is called New Year. "New Year's Eve" refers to the first day of the first lunar month to celebrate the beginning of the new year and report the safety of the new year. On the eve of the Spring Festival, it is a good wish for the New Year to buy some flowers and plants at the flower market to decorate the atmosphere, and it is also 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 Lanzhou 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.

Chinese flower arrangement advocates nature.

When I came to the Lotus Language School, the reporter saw a 10-year-old girl playing with flowers in her hand, which was very stylish. Teacher Liu Mo, the founder of Lotus Language School, came to give directions 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 flower arrangement very much. " The little girl told reporters.

Speaking of "flowers", I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't like it, but people are generally familiar with western-style flower arrangement 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 floral art originated in China, but not many people know it. Professor Li Lishu was originally a senior teacher of Japanese flower arrangement. 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 now. 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 began 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 has more depth. When you insert peach blossoms in spring, you will think of the' peach flies away, burning its splendor' in the Book of Songs. ; When planting lotus flowers in summer, I will think of "Ailian Shuo", which says: "Clear but not evil, straight through, not creeping, fragrant and clear." I can plant characteristic flowers with 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 are of special significance to flowers. Floriculture in China can be divided into six types: plates, bottles, cans, bowls, tubes and baskets. Liu Mo pointed to a bowl of flowers inserted by the students and told reporters: "This plate of flowers symbolizes the earth. The water near the pond is cloudy, and the land in the middle is sunny. In fact, Chinese flower arrangement is deeply nourished by traditional culture and art, and absorbs the essence of sister arts such as calligraphy and painting, forming the aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation. The "spirit of mountains and rivers" that China ancients yearned for has been vividly reflected in Chinese flower arrangement. We often put flowers and a fairy beside the peach grove, which makes the whole flower arrangement work more attractive and artistic. Chinese flower arrangement advocates nature, which is virtual and real, dry and glorious, and also blank. This is the essential difference between Chinese flower arrangement and western flower arrangement. "

The flower arrangement during the Spring Festival is auspicious and festive.

Japanese flower arrangement emphasizes nature, while western flower arrangement sets off the atmosphere with shapes and colors. When talking about the differences of China's flower arrangement, Liu Mo said: "Japanese flower arrangement is very simple, which is related to its mode of transmission. In the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and they brought Chinese flower arrangement to Japan. Through the spread of monks, Japanese flower arrangement is more Zen, and the feeling of winning more with less is stronger, which is different from Chinese flower arrangement. Chinese flower arrangement is very inclusive, which can be very prosperous or 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, Chinese flower arranging will choose different flowers. Generally, during the Spring Festival, the ancients would insert a' new dish', also called' new dish'. In Ode to Spring Vegetables written by Ouyang Zhan in the Tang Dynasty, people expressed their expectation and joy for spring by performing, walking and opening spring. Among them, inserting spring, cooking spring vegetables, hanging flowers and wearing flowers to win a spring life expressed their interest in spring from the perspective of "flowers". Five spices such as onion, garlic and ginger were inserted into an ancient basket to make new dishes, and lettuce was added to make new 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 February 15th of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Chunzhong and Baihua. 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' spend a good month'. "

"Spring Festival flower arrangement should have auspicious and festive meanings. 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 have the meaning of' noble and longevity'; Nandina domestica is a kind of flower with flowers and fruits, which 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, let's talk about the insertion method. Chinese flower arrangement takes three main branches as the main framework, making branches the mission of flowers and determining 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, up, down and middle, which look flat, high and far. "

Liu Mo pointed to a plate of flower works and said, "The formation and popularity of Chinese flower arrangement are different. The vase flower is high, the dish flower is deep and wide, the cylinder flower is thick, the bowl is hidden, the cylinder is graceful, and the basket is expensive and 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 flower and modeling flower. China Floriculture is based on China people's unique taste for the beauty of flowers and trees, which is firstly fun, secondly form, and then color. For example: light a bunch of incense for 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.
