Chinese people admire and respect highly “the unity of human and nature.” The style of Chinese Flower Art is rooted on the variety of scenery in nature and the unique appearances and shapes of plants. Similar to the art of Chinese Gardening and bonsai, it is a miniature representation of nature. It selects the beautiful flowers, branches, even stones, dried woods, and water, through humanity thinking, trimming and matching them in the flower vase. The material selection is simple and clean. It brings spectators a feeling of enjoyment like returning to the nature with peacefulness and simple elegance. It is a high level of artistic presentation and a direct and expedient presentation of living art.
“Eastern Flower Art” is originated from China. It is an exhibition of graceful living of Chinese people. It is also one of the most elegant classical arts. In Suhng Dynasty, flower art together with painting, tea ceremony, and incense burning are called “Four Arts of Living.” They have become the most popular basic cultivated manners of that time. In fourteen century A.D. the flower art was imported from China into Japan, Korea, etc. Over a few centuries until now the Japanese “Flower Tao” has developed into an important part of Japanese art. It is inseparable from Japanese daily lives. Even in Japanese colleges they have in-depth discussion and research on “Flower Tao Education;” not to mention this was an early culture crystallization of Chinese people. Later on, the flower art in China was stalled due to war in late Ching Dynasty and communist culture revolution.
Taiwan has the multifaceted culture from many Chinese provinces. Taiwan is the melting pot of Chinese culture. After the culture blending of several decades, a multidimensional Chinese culture was formed. It spurs the opportunity of creative change. We need to pick up again the long neglected culture content and elevate the recognition and confirmation of beautiful culture. Amid the inheritance of the five thousand years of Chinese art and culture, we search for the special quality and beauty of modern civilization in order to spread our true own mission of Taiwan “Chinese Flower Art”.
