Artistic flower arrangement means that the cut roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of plants are used as raw materials, and after certain technical (pruning, pruning and bending) and artistic (conception, modeling and coloring) treatments, they are reconfigured into a delicate and poetic flower artwork, which can reproduce the beauty of nature and artificial beauty. It seems simple to arrange flowers, but it is not easy to really insert a good work.

Therefore, oriental flower arrangement is famous for its formal beauty and artistic conception. Japanese flower arrangement: flower arrangement is called flower path in Japan. From the 6th century to the beginning of the 7th century, Shoto Kutaishi in Asuka sent his sister Xiao Ye to China (Sui Dynasty) to establish diplomatic relations. As a festival for sending envoys in Sui Dynasty, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism and arranging flowers in Buddhism. After returning to Japan, he developed a flower festival in front of the Buddha in Japan at that time and became a flower path in the red square. It is the oldest flower arrangement school in the history of Japanese flower arrangement. After Chinese flower arrangement was introduced to Japan, through the unremitting efforts of several generations of flower arrangement artists, more than 3,000 schools have been formed, among which Chifang Stream, Cao Yueliu Stream, Hongdao Stream and Xiaoyuyuan Stream are the four famous flower arrangement schools in Japan. Japanese flower arrangement and Chinese flower arrangement belong to the category of oriental flower arrangement, which mainly focus on the change of lines and transfer people's thoughts to flower arrangement, showing the characteristics of oriental delicacy, implication and connotation. (2) Western flower arrangement: a form of flower arrangement represented by European and American countries. It is very different from oriental flower arrangement.

Western-style flower arrangement pays attention to complexity in material selection, wins by expressing the beauty of plants, pays attention to rules in shape, gives priority to symmetrical geometric figures, is large and straight in shape, is colorful and rich, pursues block effect, and shows a warm, elegant and magnificent style. (3) Modern freestyle flower arrangement: it is an abstract, freehand and very personalized flower arrangement form. With the continuous exchange of eastern and western cultures, there are more and more exchanges of flower arrangement. Modern freestyle flower arrangement is developed on the basis of eastern and western flower arrangement, which is compatible with the characteristics of eastern and western flower arrangement. In the selection of flower materials, the determination of conceptual modeling and the treatment of mosaic color, it is more free and free. Commonly used non-plant materials, such as metal, glass, plastic, cotton fabric, etc. They are all used as foil and embellishment, and the theme of performance is often difficult to understand. The works are completely integrated into personal personality, hobbies and temperament, giving people a refreshing feeling. Second, the arrangement of artistic flower arrangement depends on the different environment, and the techniques and requirements of flower arrangement are also different. Such as exhibition halls, hotel lobbies, conference rooms and other large public places, mainly western-style flower arrangement or modern freestyle flower arrangement, which requires large volume, large quantity and rich colors. For small spaces such as the living room, oriental flower arrangement is the mainstay, and only a few small flower arrangement works are needed to embellish it, which can add icing on the cake. (1) Arrangement of flower arrangement in the exhibition hall: The arrangement of flower arrangement in this occasion is divided into regions at first. Due to the large number of exhibitors, if there are no designated places and lots, it will not only cause confusion to the exhibition, but also make it difficult for visitors to find their favorite content. For example, the "First China International Flower Arrangement and Floriculture Expo" held in Shenzhen Hi-Tech Fair in May this year was divided into eight areas according to the different exhibitors: overseas exhibition area, provincial (district) city exhibition area, hotel exhibition area, flower shop exhibition area, cut flower enterprise product exhibition area, flower betting exhibition area, home decoration exhibition area and Chinese flower arrangement and floral history exhibition area, so that exhibitors and visitors can see at a glance. Second, fill in the blanks. It is necessary to leave some space in the exhibition hall, but it is a waste or an inadequate arrangement to give up the available space in the air and walls. For example, the "Malaysian Flower Arrangement Art Exchange Exhibition" held at the Wizard of Oz International Exhibition Center in Malaysia in March this year used the walls and columns of the exhibition hall very appropriately. According to the size of the wall, the exhibitors arranged flower arrangement works with different shapes and specifications, mainly drooping. The pillars of the convention and exhibition center are concave on all sides, so the author wrote an article on the concave, hanging three silk umbrellas upside down and decorating them with flowers and leaves, which not only utilized the pillars, but also beautified the environment and enriched the space content, killing two birds with one stone. Another example is the flower ball hanging in the air in the shopping center of Hangzhou Tower. If this arrangement can be applied to the exhibition hall, it will achieve good exhibition effect. (2) Flower arrangement in the lobby of the hotel: Flower arrangement can add a little enthusiasm, beauty and elegance to the comfortable environment of the hotel and make guests feel at home. Due to the different levels of flower arrangement in the lobby and the different reception levels in peacetime and festivals, the placement methods and requirements are also different. In principle, it is required to be arranged in the center of the lobby, with several shelves and high-quality flowers; Modeling is mainly based on planned geometric figures, such as round and semi-round; Flowers are fresh, colorful, big and gorgeous; It is large in size and surrounded by western-style flower arrangements.
