Traditional flower arrangement is a kind of living art that uses flower branches as materials. According to research, the traditional flower arrangement art sprouted from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. In the long-term development process, traditional flower arrangement has gone through various stages, including the initial period of the Han Dynasty, the development period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the peak period of the Song Dynasty, the maturity period of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and the decline period of the late Qing Dynasty. The traditional Chinese flower arrangement art advocates the beauty of natural simplicity, and is good at using line modeling and asymmetrical composition to create a poetic and picturesque realm, fully demonstrating the national characteristics of Chinese culture and the aesthetic consciousness of traditional Chinese people. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the traditional Chinese flower arrangement art has been introduced to Japan, which has profoundly influenced the development of Japanese flower arrangement. Traditional flower arrangement is divided into four main types: folk flower arrangement, temple flower arrangement, palace flower arrangement, and literati flower arrangement. Its conception, composition, material selection, pruning, fixation, adjustment, and display all reflect rich cultural connotations and aesthetic concepts. The traditional flower arrangement art gradually declined in the late Qing Dynasty and has revived since the 1980s. At present, the Beijing Flower Arrangement Art Research Association, headed by Wang Lianying, Qin Kuijie and others, is committed to advocating, inheriting, developing and promoting this traditional skill.
