[The idea of ??flower arrangement in teahouse]
The main characteristic of teahouse flower arrangement is "taking materials with intention and focusing on flowers first". Literature and art have something in common. In order to make tea art flower arrangement works integrate the beauty of nature into the tea ceremony, it is required that flower arrangement should emphasize "the intention comes first with the pen" just like painting or poetry creation, emphasizing "the intention comes first with the flower". Before arranging flowers, first make an artistic conception based on the tea ceremony theme. This is what people often call "idea." The ancients said that "if the idea is strange, it will be strange, if the idea is high, it will be high, and if the idea is far, it will be far away." When creating tea art flower arrangements, you should first strive to have a clever and lofty idea, and then choose the most appropriate flowers and plants based on the idea. 
Of course, in the creation of flower arrangement art, coming up with ideas is a very difficult process. However, if there is no appropriate intention, the flower arrangement can only become a pile of colorful colors, and even give people a chaotic feeling.
The purpose of tea art flower arrangement is to be "authentic, new, high and clean". "True" refers to sincere feelings, and the idea should first focus on the theme connotation that can reflect the true nature of tea art; "new" refers to novel, novel, and unconventional ideas; "high" refers to lofty artistic conception, thought-provoking, and artistic Infectiousness; "Clean" refers to the shape of the flower arrangement being simple, natural, bright and full of vitality.
[Selection of flower arrangement containers]
Flower arrangement containers are referred to as flower containers. Flower utensils refer to the foundation and support of flowers. The shape and artistic conception of flower arrangements largely depend on the choice of flower utensils.
After selecting the flowers, choose a flower arrangement container that matches the beauty of the theme. In tea flower arrangement, all kinds of containers can be used, such as handicrafts (such as vases, toys, bonsais, rockeries, etc.), daily utensils (such as teapots, cups, bowls, plates, saucers, small hanging buckets, small bamboo baskets, bamboo tubes, etc.), melons Fruits (gourds, small pumpkins, coconuts, apples, pears, pineapples, etc.), and even domestic waste ready to be discarded (such as wine bottles, cosmetic bottles, beer cans, fast food noodle bowls, etc.), as long as they are cleverlyIngenious ideas and originality can turn decay into magic, refreshing people. 
However, when choosing a flower arrangement container, its shape, height, size, texture, color, and shape must be compatible with the tea ceremony theme and coordinate with other contents of the cloth mat.
[Flower materials for teahouse flower arrangements]
Teahouse flower arrangement often adopts traditional Chinese flower arrangement art. The works emphasize its natural beauty, beautiful lines and beautiful artistic conception, while the colors are not too gorgeous. Traditional flower materials such as pine, bamboo, plum, wintersweet, silver willow, peach blossom, nandina, red leaves, chrysanthemums, lilies, lotus, wisteria and dead branches, roots, rattan, etc. are often used. When choosing flower materials, you should pay attention to the following points:
Choose more woody flowers and less delicate herbal flowers to extend the shelf life. Choose flowers according to the theme of the tea party, such as forget-me-nots for the farewell party and pine, bamboo and plum for the New Year party.
Choose flowers with a strong sense of season, such as spring - peach, summer - lotus, autumn - chrysanthemums and red leaves, winter - plum and camellia.
In order to coordinate the characteristics of the flower materials with the teahouse environment, pay attention to choosing oriental-style flowers and try to use as few Western-style flowers as possible (such as green onions, tulips, red and yellow roses). Generally, flowers with too gorgeous colors (such as anthurium and red rose) are rarely used.
Avoid using flowers with strong smells (perfume lilies, tuberose) and poisonous flowers (leaf wood, tiger thorn plum, oleander, etc.).
