Like incense burning, tea ceremonies, and painting; flower arranging is part of the lifestyle among literates in ancient China. Flower arranging was first used as an offering to Buddha during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and later in the Tang and Song dynasties it developed into an enjoyment among literates. It is an expression of one’s inner self, and an appreciation of nature.

Join us as Natalie Jiang explains the philosophy behind Chinese flower arrangements and we will make our own flower arrangement following her instructions.
