Chinese traditional flower arrangement style and characteristics

Art style is an artistic expression. It is not only a reproduction of an era and a national temperament, but also an expression of the individual temperament of the artist. This kind of performance will inevitably be affected by the political, economic, and cultural characteristics of the country’s own people and the region, and it will also echo the spirit of the respective era. Therefore, the style and characteristics of any art should be a good reflection of the nationality, the time, and the local flavor of the nation and the region.

Advocating nature and teachers and nature above nature is the common guiding ideology of the Chinese traditional culture and arts, especially modeling. It emphasizes shape and soul, and pursues the artistic conception of beauty that is both vivid in shape and spirit, and full of scenes and blends. The highest goal. As a part of the outstanding ancient culture of China, the traditional flower arrangement art, in many respects, is a good grasp and embodies the essence of traditional Chinese aesthetics and continues to flourish. For example, in the selection of flower materials, Chinese traditional flower arrangements treat each leaf and each flower branch in a natural trend, either straight or curved, or up or down, ingeniously combined so that they are well-being, and they co-exist with each other harmoniously. Growing in nature, it is full of vitality and there is no deliberately created atmosphere. Even if it is pruned, no artificial traces are revealed. The natural beauty of various floral materials constitutes an artificial decorative beauty, which is the concentration and sublimation of nature. This is a typical embodiment of the traditional Chinese “artificial nature” theory. . For example, in the composition of traditional Chinese flower arrangements, whether it is a symmetry-type kerosene giant symmetry model or not, both follow the existing rules and are not formal, nor are rules that are both normative and standardized, and the proportions of shearing combinations and containers used for flower materials. Although the relationship is set at 7:5:3, the scale of the golden ratio is approximately ten, but there is no fixed formula and strict requirement for the direction and angle of the position of each flower branch; it is natural and natural The principle of the principle is that under the original natural form of preserved floral materials, flexible insertion and random modeling will achieve the realm of “although it will be done by human beings and daytime opening”.

Such as the combination of Yulan, Haishu and Peony, it is called “Yutang Fugui”; pine, bamboo and plum are called “three friends of old age”; plum, blue, bamboo and chrysanthemum are called “four gentlemen”, etc. Mei Xiangyuan, the traditional customs of the lotus harvesters in the autumn, these richly-contained and implied floral materials have given traditional spiritual flower arrangements a more spiritual significance on the basis of the natural beauty of floral materials, thus adding to the beauty of the works. Make the work more full of poetic charisma.

The use of squid as a line for modeling, especially the use of woody squid lines for sculpting is also one of the most prominent features of traditional Chinese flower arrangements. The woody squid is the most pleasing, soft or rigid, or thick or thin, or elegant or ancient. Wait. Its longevity is also long and easy to process and shape. It is free to compose pictures, showing various beautiful and vivid contours, body mass, texture and dynamics, showing the world of one leaf and one world.
