What is this Japanese ikebana (花道) In fact, it’s Chinese
traditional flower arrangement. They seem similar, but actually differ.
Recalling experiences in flower arrangement competitions abroad,
Zhang Yan, a master and an inheritor (传承人) of Chinese traditional
flower arrangement, said her works were often mistaken for ikebana.
Zhang sighed, “We need more publicity on Chinese traditional flower
arrangement.” Zhang hopes to do her part to introduce the art form.
Inheritance from history
6 / 9
{#{QQABCQSQggCIAIJAABgCEQFgCgAQkBGACIoGhEAEIAIAiRNABAA=}#}
The art of Chinese traditional flower arrangement has been handed down since 1046 BC.
Historical records show it has served as offerings at temples, decorations in the palaces and
art at homes.
“Though it has a history of more than 3,000 years, the flower arrangement is still limited
to the bouquets (花束) in flower shops,” Zhang said. Because of that, Zhang began to study
historical records on flower arrangement in China. “If people are familiar with the history
of Chinese traditional flower arrangement, they would definitely feel proud of its
centuries-old history, and think about why it’s not as well-known as ikebana, and find ways to
give it a new life.”
In 2008, Chinese traditional flower arrangement was included in the second batch of
National Intangible Cultural Heritage (国家非物质文化遗产). To Zhang, it is the art form’s
rich historical meaning that makes it heritage, and this national acceptance leads to more
public understanding.
The future
Today, more and more people are learning Chinese traditional flower arrangement, not
just professional florists (花艺师) but also those who take it as a hobby, even little kids. “I
hope we can continue to hold an ability to appreciate the beauty in our life,” Zhang added.
Chinese traditional flower arrangement is not only a decoration, but can also serve as a
form of therapy for modern busy bees.
“Different from its Western counterpart, Chinese traditional flower arrangement
highlights simplicity,” Zhang said. The arranger must decide on what is truly necessary in his
or her work and remove the rest. Sometimes learners are moved to tears because they begin to
think what is truly necessary in their life.
“Today’s people often take no notice of the really important things in life,” said Zhang.
The healing effect of Chinese traditional flower arrangement is realized when the arranger
finally understands what they truly need.
In Zhang’s view, Chinese traditional flower arrangement can give us more besides its
healing effects, and the key lies in the exploration of traditional Chinese culture.
“It comes from traditional Chinese culture, and it is part of it,” Zhang argued. “Only
when it absorbs nutrition (营养) from traditional Chinese culture can it bloom and be
world-known.”
“Our mission（使命） is to develop and inherit traditional Chinese culture,” Zhang
added.

What is this Japanese ikebana (花道) In fact, it’s Chinese traditional flower arrangement. They seem similar, but actually differ.
Recalling experiences in flower arrangement competitions abroad, Zhang Yan, a master and an inheritor (传承人) of Chinese traditional flower arrangement, said her works were often mistaken for ikebana. Zhang sighed, “We need more publicity on Chinese traditional flower arrangement.” Zhang hopes to do her part to introduce the art form.
Inheritance from history
The art of Chinese traditional flower arrangement has been handed down since 1046 BC. Historical records show it has served as offerings at temples, decorations in the palaces and art at homes.
“Though it has a history of more than 3,000 years, the flower arrangement is still limited to the bouquets (花束) in flower shops,” Zhang said. Because of that, Zhang began to study historical records on flower arrangement in China. “If people are familiar with the history
of Chinese traditional flower arrangement, they would definitely feel proud of its centuries-old history, and think about why it’s not as well-known as ikebana, and find ways to give it a new life.”
In 2008, Chinese traditional flower arrangement was included in the second batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage (国家非物质文化遗产). To Zhang, it is the art form’s rich historical meaning that makes it heritage, and this national acceptance leads to more public understanding.
The future
Today, more and more people are learning Chinese traditional flower arrangement, not just professional florists (花艺师) but also those who take it as a hobby, even little kids. “I hope we can continue to hold an ability to appreciate the beauty in our life,” Zhang added.
Chinese traditional flower arrangement is not only a decoration, but can also serve as a form of therapy for modern busy bees.
“Different from its Western counterpart, Chinese traditional flower arrangement
highlights simplicity,” Zhang said. The arranger must decide on what is truly necessary in his or her work and remove the rest. Sometimes learners are moved to tears because they begin to think what is truly necessary in their life.
“Today’s people often take no notice of the really important things in life,” said Zhang. The healing effect of Chinese traditional flower arrangement is realized when the arranger finally understands what they truly need.
In Zhang’s view, Chinese traditional flower arrangement can give us more besides its healing effects, and the key lies in the exploration of traditional Chinese culture.
“It comes from traditional Chinese culture, and it is part of it,” Zhang argued. “Only when it absorbs nutrition (营养) from traditional Chinese culture can it bloom and be world-known.”
“Our mission（使命） is to develop and inherit traditional Chinese culture,” Zhang added.
