A bowl is so ordinary, so small and insignificant, but it is closely related to our lives, and we can hold it firmly in our hands. No matter whether it is emperors, generals, or peddlers, everyone needs it and cannot be absent for a single day. The shape of the bowl can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. It was mainly round in shape, with a foot, a wide mouth and a narrow bottom. Its shape has not changed much from today, which shows the perfection and practicality of this shape. The earliest bowls were mostly made of pottery. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, porcelain gradually appeared. By the Han Dynasty, large open bowls were used as vessels for offerings during sacrificial ceremonies. China is a vast country with abundant resources. Due to the great distance between the south and the north, and the difference in climate and temperature, the bowls have also evolved into northern bowls and southern bowls, each with its own practicality but different appearance. Bowl flowers originated in Former Shu and became popular in Song Dynasty.At that time, flower arranging, making tea, burning incense and hanging paintings were the four arts of life in the Song Dynasty and were very common folk arts. People were accustomed to expressing their emotions in religious beliefs, such as presenting flowers in front of Buddha, which evolved into offering flowers, and expressing emotions through objects, which formed elegant and simple literati flowers, grand flowers during festive occasions, and so on.Chinese flower art lists the bowl as one of the six major flower vessels, and the flowers on the bowl are used to express the ethical order in society, which must be in accordance with the rules. The so-called "one trunk sticks out from the middle of the plant" and the branches are clear and closed. The flower shape is authentic when it is at the extreme. It must be done with heart. Zhu Xi, a Neo-Confucian philosopher in the Song Dynasty, said: "The heart is the master of man. People need to rely on "respect" and "do their best" to understand the truth and achieve learning. 』"Vase" flowers are high, "plate" flowers are deep and wide, "jar" emphasizes block, "bowl" seeks to be hidden in the middle, "tube" is heavy and graceful, and "basket" is noble and dignified. Bowl flowers require "hiding in the middle", and the dignified and rigorous flower shape is its characteristic.Flower arrangements in a bowl can be done in regular, regular, or cursive styles, and can also be varied using modeling principles to generate endless creativity. With the changes in the environment and the rise of environmental awareness, we use utensils full of ancient flavor and modern illustration techniques to make antiques not only evoke nostalgic feelings, but also inject more lively and vivid new artistic conception. The first type of basic bowl flowerFlowers: boxwood, canna, chrysanthemum, dianthus, banana orchid leaves, cypress, and golden pothos.Under the bright window, facing the dignified and orderly bowl flowers on the clean table, one can truly appreciate the ethical character of the ideal flowers; the neat branches and feet make people feel awe, and the combination of chrysanthemums and other colors can express the chrysanthemum's proud character in the face of frost. Figure 1 Figure 2 Completed FigureInsertion method:1. Choose boxwood so that the branch length is about 8 or 10. The boxwood needs to be trimmed first, and the branches and leaves are removed to make the lines clear. Move to the northwest and occupy the corner, with a tilt of 30 degrees.2. Use a straight and strong canna as the heart, with a length of 5, and the heart should be inserted straight.3. Boxwood is also used for the guest branch, which faces northeast and the tip of the branch should not exceed the edge of the bowl too much.4. Insert cypress as the secondary branch in front of the "heart", and then insert the main flower - chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemums should be of different lengths and slightly tilted to the right or left by about 5 degrees.5. The secondary flower is dianthus. The red-edged dianthus echoes the color of the "heart" and is inserted in the appropriate position.6. Use banana orchid leaves and boxwood on the left and right sides to create a layered beauty. Insert golden kudzu leaves on the right rear to create a different visual beauty with the banana orchid leaves.7. The base is made of cypress and boxwood. From the application of the works, we can know that the base can be made of large-leaf flowers or appropriate fine-leaf flowers.The first key point of flower arrangement is to determine the center of the flower arrangement. The center refers to the highest branch, and the center refers to the guest branch with a height of five. The three main branches do not just refer to three flowers, but include the secondary branches that match the main branches during the flower arrangement process. In other words, the concept of the main branch should be understood as a part of the entire flower arrangement. There is no specific regulation on the method of arranging the secondary branches. The principle is to make the flower arrangement look full, coordinated and beautiful, but one thing is that the height of the secondary branch cannot be higher than the main branch flower material of the main branch where it is located. The art of flower arrangement is not only a beautiful expression of creation, but also an activity of appreciation. The joy of immersing oneself in the world of flowers and plants is incomparable. With the beautiful presentation of floral art, the artistic value of the bowl is even higher. The improvement of appreciation taste has made people's lives no longer just about growing mulberry, hemp and rice.Beauty is all around us, and just a flower or a bowl of flowers can allow flower lovers to immerse themselves in a beautiful and warm atmosphere.
