The Chinese nation has always admired nature, using exotic flowers and plants from the natural world as decorations, which has been the favorite of ancestors since ancient times.

In the Song Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, social economy, science and technology, literature, art, and life aesthetics were all a highly prosperous period in Chinese history. Even today, it is a commendable and study target. The famous French Sinologist Jacques Gernet compared the Song Dynasty to the Chinese Renaissance, which shows its splendor. It is also such a dynasty that is rich in material and spirit, which promoted the elegant and beautiful flower art to its peak.

Now with the improvement of people's quality of life, flower art has become a necessity in people's living space, room furnishings, environmental decoration and social gifts. Flower is a symbol of beauty and happiness. It is not only the art of viewing but also the art of space, which can create the beauty of space.

01.Autumn Grasses 

The fields in autumn are gorgeous. They germinate in spring, grow in summer, and wither gradually when autumn and winter come. Toshiro Kawase described them as having a kind of mature vicissitudes, having experienced the baptism of wind and rain, and completed their never-returning life at the turn of the seasons. Various flowers and plants show their last swan song in colorful gestures.

Toshiro Kawase likens the autumn grasses to the last and most gorgeous clothes worn by those who lead a simple life.Feeling deeply sad, they should be cut out for flower arrangement and let it become a Buddha. But for me, it is another insight. autumn grasses have been like a weather-tested old man, step by step through this era of thorns, and finally towards the end of life. The four seasons cycle, year after year, we use this to miss the life we have experienced.

Zhang Ailing said, "In this world, it seems that you can hear the sound of flowers falling every day. For soft and elegant flowers like cherry, pear, and peach, I never regard their falling and falling as a kind of death. They are just in the wind. In the whispering sound, realizing that they were once angels with wings, they tried to break free from the branches, tried to fly, and flew out gently..."

"The little daisy in the countryside blooms low-key, and it falls silently. Its withering is not like a storm coming, it just still nestles quietly on the flower branches, and then growing old without showing a trace. "

 

 

02.Flowers grow in nature, but remain in art

There are many genres of floral art. In the process of development, due to the differences in regions and cultures, the oriental floral art of "expressing love with flowers" and the western floral art of "natural romantic atmosphere" have gradually formed. And these two forms have derived many genres in the hands of floral masters with different characteristics and regions.

"生花" is a word for flower arrangement in Japanese. To live means to live and to live.Most of the origin of Japanese aesthetics comes from Zen aesthetics "natural, ethereal, calm, and simple", and Japanese ikebana also adheres to the same concept.Among the many theories about the origin of flower arrangement, one of them is the flower offering from Buddhism.

One of Japan's leading flower arrangers, Toshiro Kawakui has been taught the ancient ikebana way since he was a child.

He is the author of "one flower a day", "Biography of Four Seasons flower", "Flower will record" and other books. He once said: "Japan's flower arrangement originated from the 'worship to Buddha' flower, it is the human heart as a symbol of plants and flowers, just a few flowers can display a kaleidoscuro of nature."

03.Cherish every moment of opportunity and fate

Autumn is accompanied by decay and silence, always cause the feelings of sadness, but also make us know the importance of cherishing.In the past, the carriage and horse were very slow, the letter was very long, the whole life could only love one person.Now the transportation is convenient and the communication is fast, but the relationship between people is not as good as before.Please cherish the once-in-a-lifetime meeting opportunity. Like most flowers, the flowering period is short, but we should give it the best interpretation. So cherish every moment of opportunity and fate.

 

 

A generation of prose masters Lin Qingxuan in the collection of essays "all regret is perfect" wrote: He once went to Yangmingshan with a friend to see the awn flowers. During this trip, Lin Qingxuan saw the free bloom of awn flowers, which made him lament the extraordinary beauty of the small awn flowers.

04.Thanks for this space, let people meet with flowers

In many spaces, as long as plants and flowers are arranged, the space is given life and full of prosperity. Plants and flowers can make a space dignified and elegant, or romantic and poetic, or passionate.
