Appreciation of Chinese-style flower arranging: a rare collection of works

The Chinese nation has loved truth, goodness and beauty since ancient times. In the process of loving, admiring, cultivating and using flowers, people developed deep feelings for them. With flowers as companions, treating them as living, sentient and understanding friends, the bond of knowing them is profound!

Chinese-style flower arranging is deeply influenced by Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. It holds that all things have spirit, reveres nature and advocates the "unity of heaven and humanity". People pour their feelings into flowers and trees, giving them many symbolic meanings and implications, using them to express their aspirations, entrust their feelings and give free rein to their tastes.
