Flower arrangement is to insert cut flowers into containers such as bottles or plates. The various shapes of flowers, trees, branches and leaves in nature are used to outline different shapes and create colorful works of art through the length and thickness of their lines, their curvature, their strength and softness, and their density and density. The flower materials used are roughly branches, flowers, leaves, fruits, calyxes, etc.
Traditional Chinese flower arrangements reflect the theme of the work through the cultural connotations contained in different flower materials. We strive to have a comprehensive and clear understanding of Chinese flower arrangement through its composition, type, and aesthetic rules. 
"Three main branches", the center of Chinese flower arrangement
1. Shi branch: referred to as "Shi", symbolizing a general, a soldier, and an envoy. It is the longest branch in the whole work and has a wide range of activities, representing positivity and enterprising spirit.
2. Kezhi: referred to as "Ke", symbolizing the prime minister, honored guest, and wife. It means that the civil servants and prime ministers support the king, and represents tact.
3. Main branch: also called main flower, referred to as "main", symbolizing king, leader and father. The king of a country, the leader of a group, and the father of a family are the most authoritative and stable, representing integrity.
In addition to the "three main branches", there are others in a floral art work.
1. Arbuscular branches: Arbuscular branches are of different lengths, which play a role in making up for the lack of main branches and enriching the works. As a twig, it cannot dominate the work.
2. Basil leaf: It is a special existence in the branches, which plays the role of blocking the sword mountains and flower branches.
Four major types convey different natural and humanistic artistic conceptions
1. Write landscape flowers. It originated in the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, bonsai became popular. Affected by this, bonsai imitation techniques were used to depict natural scenery, focusing on natural beauty and appearance design, mostly in potted flowers.
2. Idea flower. It was popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties and developed from Song Dynasty Dynasty, hence its name. Emphasis on philosophy and the beauty of reason. Commonly used flowers are of high quality and have beautiful and auspicious symbolic meanings, usually vase flowers or bowl flowers.

Six rules to build the beauty of Chinese flower arrangements
1. Staggered heights: It is required to use points, lines, surfaces and other modeling elements in three-dimensional space to arrange the positions in a hierarchical manner. The position of the flowers should be staggered up and down, and should not be on the same horizontal line or straight line.
2. Consistent density and density: Every flower and leaf has an ornamental and compositional effect. Too dense will look too complicated, and too sparse will look empty. Generally, the center of gravity of the work should be dense, and the areas far away from the center of gravity should be sparse. Leave a blank space in the work to provide a contrast between density and density, and do not fill it all up. 
3. Combination of virtual and real: flowers are real and leaves are virtual, flowers but no leaves lack the foil, leaves but no flowers lack the reality. The flower buds are virtual, the flowers are real, the vines are virtual, the central flower is real, the front flowers are real, the side flowers are virtual, the block flowers are real, the thin flowers are virtual, the planar leaves are solid, the linear leaves are virtual...
4. Pitch-and-pitch echo: The flowers, branches and leaves above, below, left, and right should echo around the center, which not only reflects the integrity but also maintains a sense of balance. It should be able to direct the audiences sight to the center of gravity and create a sense of stability.
5. The top is light and the bottom is heavy: the buds are at the top and the flowers are at the bottom, with light colors at the top and dark colors at the bottom, which looks balanced and natural. There is no distinction between flowers and flowers. The difference in texture, shape and color only creates a psychological sense of weight. Flowers with similar texture and appearance are easier to coordinate when they are combined together.
6.Scattered at the top and gathered at the bottom: The base of the flowers should be gathered together like a tree trunk, twisting together as if they are from the same root, and the upper parts should be dispersed like branches, displaying individuality, properly spread out, and graceful, so that the work has both varied and rich individuality. Identity.
