"Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine. I tried the curtain people, but the begonias were still the same. Do you know, do you know?It should be green, fat, red and thin. ”
After reading Yi'an Jushi's "Dream Order", I suddenly thought of the book "Inner Nature" that I read in recent days
Inner Nature is a book about plants and flowers, illustrating their story in modern architecture and interior design. The author, Penny Spark, took me into a world full of magic and wonder, a world about plants, flowers, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and made me feel that plants are not only decorations, but also human emotions and cultural sustenance.
1.The beginning of taming.
In the book "Inner Nature", the historical background of plants and flowers is vividly revealed. In the 18th century, these exotic flowers and plants caused a sensation in the Western world as European explorers and traders brought back a variety of exotic plants and flowers from all over the world.
Due to their unique forms and bright colors, these plants and flowers became a symbol of fashion and taste in the society of the time, representing not only the exoticism of novelty but also the feeling of being in a primeval jungle at home.
The introduction of these plants and flowers not only brings new decorative elements to the interior space, but also provokes people to think about nature and the environment. Their cultivation requires special conditions and skills, so in order to be able to successfully grow these precious plants, people have begun to pay more attention to and study the growth habits and environmental factors of plants, and have started the journey of plant taming.
As this passage from "The Little Prince" says, "Taming is good for me – because of the color of the wheat field." Let's go back to those roses!Then you will know that your rose is still a flower like no other in the world. ”
The beginning of the taming of plants accelerated the close connection between humans and nature. People began to develop an awareness and understanding of the natural environment and ecosystems from the perspective of appreciating the beauty of nature and pursuing taste and quality of life. This kind of cognition and understanding of nature not only promotes the development of human civilization, but also provides important enlightenment for our ecological and environmental protection.
2.The meaning of decoration.
The role of plants and flowers in interior decoration is endowed with rich and profound connotations. These green lifeforms not only bring vitality and vitality to the interior space, but also affect people's psychological and emotional state to some extent.
First of all, plants and flowers are part of the interior decoration and add a natural element to the interior space. In modern architectural design, reinforced concrete and glass curtain walls often form a cold and hard space atmosphere. The introduction of plants and flowers breaks this monotony and brings softness and warmth to the indoor environment. The green leaves and colorful flowers make the interior space more vivid and colorful.
Secondly, plants and flowers play a role in indoor decoration to purify the air and improve the indoor environment. Scientific research has confirmed that many plants have the ability to absorb toxic substances and release oxygen. These plants not only beautify the indoor environment, but are also beneficial to the health of the occupants.
In addition, plants and flowers have symbolic and cultural connotations. Different plants and flowers represent different emotions and meanings. For example, roses symbolize love and romance, while lilies represent purity and elegance. These symbolism make plants and flowers not only aesthetically valuable, but also culturally valuable in interior decoration.
At the same time, the placement and arrangement of plants and flowers also require a certain amount of skill and aesthetic vision. In "Inner Nature", the author mentions how plants and flowers can complement the indoor environment through reasonable layout and collocation. For example, the form and color of plants can be used to echo or contrast other elements in the interior to create a harmonious and layered interior space.
Finally, the role of plants and flowers in interior decoration is also reflected in their interaction with human emotions. Caring for plants and flowers requires patience and care, and this interactive process can foster a sense of responsibility and love. At the same time, observing the growth and changes of plants can also bring a sense of pleasure and relaxation, helping to relieve stress and anxiety in modern life.
In general, the role of plants and flowers in interior decoration is multifaceted, they are not only a symbol of beauty, but also a bridge between people and nature, people and emotions. By using plants and flowers wisely for interior decoration, we can create a more livable, beautiful and culturally rich indoor environment.
3.Man and nature.
In "Inner Nature", the relationship between man and nature is deepened, human beings and nature are interdependent, and human beings obtain the resources they need to survive from nature, and at the same time have an impact on nature.
First of all, nature is fundamental to human existence. The basic survival resources such as food, water, and air that human beings need are directly or indirectly related to nature. Without these resources provided by nature, humanity would not be able to survive. Therefore, human life activities are inseparable from the support of nature.
Secondly, humans need to protect and take care of nature. In order to sustain their own survival and development, human beings must maintain respect for and protection of nature. Overexploitation and pollution can lead to the destruction of the natural environment, which in turn affects the living conditions of human beings. Therefore, it is the responsibility of human beings to protect the natural environment and maintain the ecological balance to ensure sustainable development.
However, in the process of industrialization and modernization, human activities have had a serious impact on the natural environment. Global climate change and frequent natural disasters are the consequences of human damage to the natural environment. This suggests that the relationship between humans and nature is interactive, and that human actions have a direct impact on nature.
For the sake of self-sustainment, human beings have shifted from subordination to nature to domination of nature, and have realized man's domination over the outside world. In order to meet the needs of self-sustaining survival, rational people have self-restrained their inner nature, and have realized man's domination over his inner nature while establishing his dominant position. For the sake of social self-survival, on the basis of social division of labor and class differentiation, there is a natural ruling relationship between people as human nature.
However, the relationship between man and nature is not only a relationship between ruling and being ruled, but also a relationship of harmony and symbiosis. Human beings should recognize that they are part of nature and share the same ecosystems and environmental conditions as nature. Only by living in harmony with nature can we achieve sustainable human development.
After reading the book "Inner Nature", I deeply felt the beauty and power of nature. Plants and flowers are not only decorations, but also gifts given to us by nature, and we should cherish this gift, respect nature, and live in harmony with nature.
