Chapter 5 The Art of Flower Arrangement
The days went by, I don't know how many days passed, the weather gradually warmed up, and everything recovered.
In the Huaxia Academy of Arts, some delicate flowers have bloomed, and from time to time there are students from the calligraphy and painting class and the all-round class to draw materials here.
The students all took off their winter clothes and changed into colorful and refreshing spring clothes.
Su Min was dressed in the pink school uniform, sitting upright at the desk, listening to the teacher's lecture.
In front of her desk, some flowers, branches and green leaves were arranged, and it turned out that their class was the art of flower arrangement.
Wang Zicheng was already dressed in dark white embroidered clothes, and his hair was tied with a silver crown, which was also the first time he wore a crown.
With a peaceful face, he sat at the table next to Su Min, and was also listening carefully.
"The art of flower arrangement in China sprouted in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has a history of more than 3,000 years."
"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Sui and Tang dynasties flourished, the Ming Dynasty matured, and gradually declined in the Qing Dynasty.
Speaking of which, the classroom is full of regretful voices, perhaps the students are thinking that many traditional cultures are worth inheriting.
"However, with China's reform and opening up and economic development, the people's living standards and artistic standards have gradually improved, and the art of flower arrangement has gradually returned."
"More than 50 years ago, flower arrangement was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Because of the establishment of Huaxia Art Academy a few years later, it entered the university curriculum and was able to develop. ”
The teacher who taught them flower arrangement was dressed in a light green straight coat, with a black palace silk tied around his waist, and his long hair was tied with a light green hair band.
"It's just that this art, which has been popular in China for thousands of years, was regarded by many people at that time as a representative of Japanese culture."
"Compared with the colorful flower arrangement of the West, the Chinese flower arrangement is more inclined to the beauty of the artistic conception, which is in line with the traditional arts such as calligraphy and painting, dance and so on in China."
"Chinese flower arrangement pays more attention to the agility of the lines and the changeability of the shape, and pays attention to the natural beauty, so there is a saying that 'although it is made by people, it is like the opening of the sky'."
The students nodded understandingly, and many of them had learned the traditional art in the same vein as the teacher's words.
"And the ikebana in Japan also follows the harmony and unity of heaven, earth and man, and embodies the natural and philosophical concepts unique to the East."
"Ikebana has developed over the millennium and has formed its own genre branch and artistic sense, which is incomparable to today's traditional Chinese flower arrangement."
When he said this, all the students present felt sorry for the art of flower arrangement.
However, what China has lost is not only the art of flower arrangement, but also more traditional culture.
"In the art of Chinese flower arrangement, you can use local materials, even if it is an inconspicuous wildflower, it will also play the role of the finishing touch."
Then the teacher talked about a lot of skills and art of flower arrangement, and all the students listened seriously.
Soon the flower arrangement teacher personally demonstrated several kinds of flower arrangement, his posture is elegant, is the hand holding scissors, but also makes people feel very artistic,
Because most of the students have learned calligraphy and painting, they naturally quickly understand the idea of flower arrangement: using the natural form of flower branches to construct the poetry and painting in their hearts.
This kind of realm of advocating nature and paying attention to the unity of nature and man is a kind of "Tao", and I am afraid that only people who like Chinese culture can understand the mystery of it!
After the flower arrangement teacher demonstrated in person, he looked at the students present with a smile and said leisurely: "Is there any student who is willing to demonstrate?" ”
Now that the theory has been taught, it is natural that someone will put it into practice, so the teacher looks around and prepares to draw students to demonstrate.
As soon as Su Min heard that the teacher wanted someone to demonstrate, she shrunk her neck unconfidently, for fear that the teacher would draw her.
Although her compositional conception has improved a lot through Wang Zicheng's guidance, this is the first class of flower arrangement after all, and she is not very familiar with it, so she is naturally cowardly.
It's just that she didn't expect that many of the students around her were not afraid, they raised their hands one after another, waiting for the teacher to draw, and she stood out in the crowd.
After the teacher looked around for a week, his eyes naturally fell on the abrupt Su Min.
Su Min saw that the teacher's eyes were on her side, so she looked away in a panic and shouted in her heart: Don't choose me! Don't pick me! Don't pick me!
The flower arrangement teacher shook her head helplessly and moved her gaze to Su Min's side: "Okay, since the students are so enthusiastic, then ask the class leader to demonstrate." ”
As soon as Su Min heard that the teacher was a little bit of Wang Zicheng, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
I saw Wang Zicheng get up slowly, and after bowing to the teacher and classmates, he began to sit on the seat and began to arrange flowers.
He smiled, pondered for a moment, and finally chose the bottle as the flower arrangement.
He glanced at the material on the table, chose a spring flower, his slender fingers buckled on the scissors, slowly picked it up, and carefully removed the abrupt miscellaneous branches on the spring flower.
At this moment, under the background of the faint sunlight, the young man is like a god who has descended to earth.
"Okay, we see that the squad leader chose the spring flower, it seems that he wants to use the spring flower as the main branch, the main branch is like a collective leader, and it is the most intuitive and important expression theme in the floral works."
The flower arrangement teacher explained while watching Wang Zicheng's movements.
After that, Wang Zicheng trimmed a very long thin bamboo into long strips and lay on his side next to the spring flowers.
A few thin bamboos of different lengths were cut and the leaves were not cut for decoration.
At this glance, this work seems to be scattered, and if there is a paintbrush in hand at this time, Su Min may have to swing the brush and ink.
"Bamboo branches are used to make branches and bush branches, and the branches are the longest branch in the work, representing positive progress; The bush branch is used to modify the deficiency of the main branch, to enrich the existence of the work, but not to dominate the main one. ”
Wang Zicheng glanced at his results, then looked at the materials on the table, he picked up the arborvitae and inserted it around the bamboo branch.
"With Arborvitae orientalis as the basal leaf, the function of the basal leaf is to shield the sword mountain and the flower branch foot."
"Alright, squad leader, stop."
Wang Zicheng was about to continue, but was stopped by the teacher.
He raised his eyes full of doubts, but saw that the teacher nodded at him with satisfaction, thinking that it was not because of his own mistake, so he was relieved.
So his hand that was about to take the materials stopped in mid-air, and then slowly withdrew his hand, waiting for the teacher's next command.
"You can come and see this work, do you think there is something missing?" As soon as the flower arranger finished speaking, all the students left their seats and gathered around.
Su Min is lucky, you don't have to get up to see Wang Zicheng's works, Yingchun Hua is like an independent king, and Zhuzhi is like a soldier who protects the king, that is, there is no foil for the beauty.
It's just that she doesn't know what to call it, because the teacher hasn't talked about it yet, and she hasn't learned it.
"Missing the guest branch." The voice of the answer was scattered, and I thought that there were still people like Su Min, and I didn't know what to call them.
"Yes, now please go back to your seats and choose the guest branch that you think will decorate this work."
It turned out that the teacher asked Wang Zicheng to stop, and he wanted other students to diverge their thinking.
"Where there is a master, there must be a guest, and the main role of the guest branch is to support the main branch, which is an indispensable part of a work. After the students have chosen, they will come and try it one by one to see who is the most foiled. ”
In his heart, he also admired Wang Zicheng's artistic attainments, although the materials were simple, the arrangement was like an idle cloud and a wild crane.
Su Min glanced at his desk and found white orchid flowers, so he pruned them indiscriminately against Wang Zicheng's work.
Su Min's classmates around her were trying, but she was still pruning, because she was not satisfied with how she pruned.
The flower arrangement teacher looked at the non-stop flow of people and kept shaking his head, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the choice of his classmates.
His shaking of his head deflated those who had tried, and they returned to their seats in despair.
Only Wang Zicheng was still smiling and looking confident.
