"In the winter of my thirties, I met the ...... Kusaki”
In Beijing, there is such a florist. She is often asked to design flower and plant arrangements for the TV studio. Phoenix Satellite TV's "Wind and Cloud Dialogue" column presented the flower and plant works designed by her team as flower gifts to many foreign embassies and consulates and international friends in China. At the same time, her team is also a long-term strategic partner of many colleges and universities, enterprises and institutions to carry out trade union group building activities.
Deng Miao. She is also a senior lecturer of Chinese floral art, a visiting professor of Liaoning University of Science and Technology and the founder of the brand of "Huayi ingenuity".
Those who Xi flowers must have a love for flowers
My mother and I are both flower lovers, and we have many potted plants at home, and I still vividly remember that the first plant I planted was impatiens. Deng Miao said.
She still remembers the flowers and plants she liked when she was a child, such as the prickly Xanthus, the sweet and sour mushroom fruit, the purple jewel-like nightshade, the Ma Lanhua that is widely praised by children's songs, and the daylily flower whose name she only knew when she grew up.
When she grew up, Deng Miao's love for flowers and plants became stronger, and she raised all kinds of flowers on the balcony of her home. "My husband was also very supportive. Once he went to Kunming on a business trip, and he traveled thousands of miles to bring back staghorn ferns and air pineapples as gifts for me. Even though a long time had passed, she still had a sweet face when she mentioned it.
Talking about the original intention of learning Xi Ikebana, Deng Miao said that at that time, it was mainly to relieve work pressure and increase the joy of life. "At that time, I was under a lot of pressure at work, cervical spondylosis also bothered me, and I couldn't take a long leave to recuperate, so I often felt irritable. She said. When she was troubled, she came up with the idea of learning Xi ikebana, "On the one hand, it has been my hobby since I was a child, and on the other hand, ikebana can cultivate the mind, heal the soul and reduce physical pain." ”
When she first came into contact with ikebana, she learned Xi Kusaki-ryu. "It breaks through the harshness and constraints of traditional flower arrangement, and advocates innovation and freedom, and can be created anytime, anywhere, and with any material, and the more you learn it Xi the more fascinating it becomes. Deng Miao said.
Later, due to the relocation of the Ikebana classroom, she decided to go to Japan to learn Xi Ikebana and further enter the Kusatsu Stream. For a long time after that, she traveled back and forth between Beijing and Tokyo, Japan, participating in various flower shows in spring and autumn. She wanted to find a flower teacher who knew Chinese and taught Kusatsuki Ryu in Japan to follow her Xi, but she never succeeded.
At a spring flower arrangement, Deng Miao met a primary school girl of the same genre, and through her, she met Wu Xiaochun, a first-class teacher of Kusatsuki Stream and secretary general of the All Japan Chinese Flower Art Association. "Ms. Wu is a very good Chinese ikebana artist among the normal professors of the Sogetsu Society, and she also opened her own ikebana class in Tokyo. Deng Miao said. Later, she got her wish to apprentice.
In the process of studying ikebana, what impressed Deng Miao the most was that in October 2019, she and a senior sister jointly served as Wu Xiaochun's assistant and participated in the creation of works for a flower arrangement exhibition. "From the conception of the work, the simulation to the on-site presentation, I have experienced the whole process of creating the works of a flower arrangement exhibition, and I feel that this experience is comparable to three years of classroom learning." Recalling, Deng Miao was very emotional.
She introduced that the work uses red pepper fruits for theme creation, and uses Australian steel grass for line modeling, through the combination of pepper fruits of different sizes, showing different expressions from multiple angles. This ingenious work, which has been polished several times, won the "Caoyueliu 101st Flower Show Award - Newcomer Award", and Mr. Wu Xiaochun also became the first Chinese flower arrangement artist to win this award.
On November 11 this year, at the "Super Open Class" held by the Beijing Flower Arrangement Association, Deng Miao and Wu Xiaochun took the stage together to improvise their ikebana skills on the spot.
Harmony" is titled "Harmony", and uses flowers such as begonia branches, cochinese, fireworks chrysanthemums, starry sky, maple leaves, and dead wood, which is an improvisational work. Through this form, everyone can understand and appreciate the grass moon flow. Deng Miao said.
Create a floral brand and be invited to arrange flowers and plants by many columns
In 2016, Deng Miao was determined to turn her hobby into a career, and founded Huayi Ingenuity (Beijing) Technology with her sister and sister*** Whenever I was asked about the motivation for starting a business, I said frankly that it was completely because of love!She said. From the very beginning, she took "truly loving flowers and plants and inheriting the art of flower arrangement as a lifelong passion" as a requirement for choosing a co-founder.
She believes that only when people with the same intention get together can they get things done. In her entrepreneurial team, there are full-time mothers, entrepreneurial military wives, and part-time Beipiao who realizes her dreams. "'Flowers bloom before the years go deep', 7 years have passed, and the co-founders of the team have gone from the initial 3 people to the current 5 people, we are dependent on each other, and our hearts are still hot. Deng Miao said.
After Huayi Ingenuity moved into the staff space on the second floor of the Phoenix Center in Beijing, they were often asked by TV producers to design the flower and plant arrangements in the studio. Each time, Deng Miao will take the assistant to communicate with Party A many times to learn more about the theme of the program, the invited guests, especially whether there are special contraindications, whether there is a history of plant allergies, and the national customs of the guests. When each program is recorded or broadcast live, Huayi's ingenious florists will be on the scene to ensure that the flowers and plants are in the most perfect state in the program.
Huayi ingenuity" is a table flower designed for the "Celebrity Face to Face" column.
For example, the guests who participated in Phoenix Satellite TV's "Fengyun Dialogue" and "Celebrity Face-to-face" programs will feel a sense of familiarity when they walk into the live broadcast room. This is exactly the atmosphere we create through the clever design of flowers and plants, creating a more harmonious meeting space for the host and guests. She said.
Deng Miao still remembers that the guest of one episode of the program was the Lebanese ambassador to China, and the plant used for the display was cedar, because Lebanon is also known as the country of cedars. On another occasion, the Myanmar ambassador to China participated in the show as a guest, and the day of the recording was his birthday. Deng Miao made flower gifts with dragon boat flowers and Thai orchids for the guests. "I can feel it, when the ambassador sees the gift, it is a special surprise. Deng Miao said.
Deng Miao lectures on floral art at the ** Academy of Fine Arts.
In recent years, the "Huayi ingenuity" design of the enterprise team building flower plant art course is deeply loved by the market, has successfully entered the ** Academy of Fine Arts, Communication University of China, Beijing Youth Daily, Bank of China, Bank of Beijing, Minsheng Bank, China Mobile Communications Group and many other units.
What makes the students of the enterprise team building course feel amazing is that Deng Miao will always comment on the emotional state of the creator of the course works before the end of the course, and at the same time, he can also comment on the occupation and personality characteristics of the stranger students more accurately. In fact, anyone who has studied Xi ikebana deeply will know that the flower arrangement contains the author's emotional code. From their attitudes towards flowers and plants, it is not difficult to judge the relevant information such as personality and emotions. She said.
This actually stems from a Xi habit she has developed over the years of studying Xi Ikebana - for new friends she meets, she will silently match a flower plant in her heart. "It was my first impression of her or him, and it was inspired by the nature of the plants, which allowed me to quickly sense how to get along with new people. Deng Miao said, "For example, a friend I met in the Entrepreneur Association, she felt like a gentle and beautiful fragrant lily to me." After contact, she is really a generous and gentle intellectual woman, who is not anxious or impatient, and she is also very measured. ”
In addition, "Huayi Ingenuity" has in-depth cooperation with the Military Wives Volunteer Service Corps of the China Volunteer Association, the Beijing Huaya Art Association and many enterprises, and has launched a series of customized courses such as military wives entrepreneurship training courses, elegant life flower arrangement art courses for female entrepreneurs, and 24 solar terms art flower arrangement series courses.
