"How Tianyuan-kun, I wonder if these works can be included in your plan?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Mako with an expectant look on his face, and said secretly: "If you dare to die, I will dare to bury it!" ”

"No problem, now is an era of pursuing individuality, since Princess Mako has such a good idea, I will naturally help you!"

"That's great!"

Mako looked excited, hugged Wu Tianyuan and kissed him fiercely, his plump body teased him hard, and even Jiazi on the side was a little envious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"In this way, you choose your favorite work and hand it to me, and I will start promoting it in all directions, not only in Japan, but also in China and other countries in Southeast Asia."

"There were seven or eight painters in the first batch, with all kinds of styles, and in Japan there are now white-haired Kazuo and the two of you, but are you sure that there is no resistance from the imperial family?"

"You don't have to worry about this!" Mako said confidently: "This is not a shameful thing, I believe that the people of the Great Japanese Empire will definitely understand us, and this is also a good image to show the imperial family!" ”

Wu Tianyuan doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me if you want to be embarrassed and thrown into the world! It's also a good idea for Europeans to appreciate the aesthetics of the Japanese Imperial Family, and to promote cultural exchange!

"The two of us will complete the work in our hands as soon as possible, and we will be able to hand it over to you in a month at most, please take care of Tianyuanjun!"

"You're welcome, we're collaborators, by the way, this time I brought some greeting gifts to the royal family, please smile."

Wu Tianyuan took out several sets of top-grade celadon and building kilns that had been prepared a long time ago, as well as a few pieces of top-quality Huanglongyu, Qingtian stone, and bloodstone, and handed them to Zhenzi together.

"It's so beautiful, I'm sure my father and they will be very happy!"

This is a seed, let the royal family see the strength of Tianyuantang first, and once the time is ripe, find an opportunity to become a royal family and occupy the upper circle.

"How's your incense and floral arrangement?"

Speaking of these two hobbies, Yanagimiko said confidently: "Japanese incense is a mixture of various incense wood powders, then charcoal powder, and finally honey to mix and solidify, which is the so-called "incense refining". With the change of seasons, a total of six kinds of incense are made - "plum blossom", "lotus leaf", "attendant", "chrysanthemum", "fallen leaves", and "black square"

"There are two main forms of Japanese incense, similar to Chinese incense. The first is the ten types of incense, which are the basis of the group of incense. Any form of incense is the result of a change in incense, first select the base incense, and use three kinds of incense with the base incense to try the incense. Divide each of the three incense into three parts, for a total of nine parts. plus one incense that has not participated in the incense test, a total of 10 copies. Then shuffle the order. According to the incense, the participants of the ceremony determine which kind of incense is used in the incense test, and guess the majority of the incense. ”

"There is also an incense ritual called group incense, which uses more than two kinds of incense, based on literary works and the emotions of poets, which are already embodied in the creation of incense. For example, "ancient and modern incense" must be composed of three parts: warbler, frog, and song, so you must first choose three kinds of incense to represent warbler, frog, and song. Divide the incense representing the warbler and the frog into five packets, and first take any of them to participate in the incense test. ”

And those who smell the "ancient and modern incense" must reflect the poems in the "Ancient and Modern Collection" in their minds, adding poetry to the incense. Today, there are more than 700 methods of incense formation in Japan, and each group of incense is an extremely complex combination. It can be said that Japanese incense is closely related to literature. ”

Now incense has become the "flower of geisha" alongside tea ceremony and ikebana, and is sought after by the Japanese high society, and every master figure is a status symbol! ”

"I've seen a lot of incense, but what's the difference between Japanese ikebana and Chinese bonsai?"

Liu Meizi looked at Wu Tianyuan's curious appearance and said with a smile: "The difference is big!" ”

The so-called "ikebana" is a method and technique of intercepting trees, flowers, leaves, and flowers, and artistically sowing them into vases and other flower vessels, so as to achieve a state of exercising skills and cultivating the spirit. ”

"Ikebana originated from Buddhism in ancient China, and in the Tang and Song dynasties, China had the custom of "offering flowers" to the Buddha, and later this custom was introduced to Japan along with Buddhism, which is the original ikebana. Later, Japanese ikebana went through three stages: classical flower arrangement, naturalistic flower arrangement, and modern flower arrangement. ”

"At first, flower arrangers did not pay attention to the gorgeous beauty of flowers, but only sought natural simplicity, and the Japanese tea ceremony master Sen no Rikyu only planted a round of sunflowers in the tea room or painted a few bamboo flowers on the flower cage."

"From the 8th century, flower arrangement gradually moved away from Buddhism and evolved into an art for people to enjoy. During the Muromachi period, ikebana artists emerged as a profession of flower arrangement, and Ikebo Shokei established the art of "Tachibana" flower arrangement, which was standardized as an independent art. On the basis of sorting out the composition of flower arrangement, Zhuan Rong, the descendant of Zhuanqing, put forward the "seven tools flower arrangement method" of true, vice, vice, sub-Qing, true hidden, Jianyue, flowing branches, and pre-placement

"Later, the special good further developed the flower arrangement technology, on the basis of the seven tools and launched the buckle, carcass, large leaves, back wall, wood stay, grass stay, will release, due to the continuous progress of flower arrangement skills, so that the flower is more varied than the posture of the real flower, out of natural beauty and beyond the natural beauty."

In the late 16th century, a new method of flower arrangement, "Putting Flowers", was introduced, in the form of inserting flowers in the vase in the most natural way, making the art of flower arrangement more natural and beautiful. Because it saves labor, time, and money compared to Tachibana, it quickly became popular among the middle and lower class towns, and soon separated from the tea ceremony and became a school of its own. ”

"Oh? So what genre did you study? ”

"There are 2,000 genres based on the preferences of the Japanese themselves, the angle of appreciation and the differences in the flowers and plants of the four seasons. Among them, the 15th-century Tachibana master Ikebo Shokei created Ikebo Tachibana is the oldest school in Japanese ikebana. ”

"Ikenoshi was invited to arrange flowers for the military commander Sasaki Takahide, dozens of flowers were inserted into the gold vase, and the house was suddenly full of brilliance and gorgeous, so the ikenoshi ikenoshi flower arrangement gained a high reputation in the Tachibana world, so Ikebo became synonymous with ikebana. To this day, Ikebo Tachibana is the largest school of ikebana in Japan, with a said 1 million disciples. ”

"The Misei school is another school of ikebana founded by Misei Kazufu at the end of the Edo period, which takes the Confucian unity of heaven, earth and man as the principle of flower arrangement. The basic flower shape is two right-angled triangles that reflect the circle of the sky and the place, and within the right-angled triangle, the unborn genre carries out a rich and diverse creative play. His works are characterized by simplicity and brightness. ”

"The Kusagetsu genre founded by Kawahara Soisei is a new genre that emerged after the war, and it is one of the most influential ikebana genres after the Ikebo genre. Kawahara criticized the conservative and fixed form of traditional schools, and put forward a new theory of bold and free use of flower utensils and processing of flowers. The Kusagetsu genre focuses on real life and blends Western artistic perspectives into the art of flower arrangement. Iron wire, plastic, glass, gypsum, etc. are commonly used auxiliary materials for flower arrangement in the Kusatsu genre. ”

"I am a student of this genre, and I am determined to create a unique genre by fusing Western performance art with Japanese ikebana!"

"Ambitious!" Wu Tianyuan really didn't expect that Liu Meizi, who usually giggles, would have such ambitions and want to become the founder of Yipai?

"I support you, recently I have collected all kinds of strange stones in China, and some bonsai, since you want to integrate innovation, these elements can be added to it, right?"

Wu Tianyuan encouraged: "If you need anything, just say it, I must praise you to become a new generation of Japanese incense and flower path masters!" (To be continued.) )
