The appreciation of Chinese orchids.

Chinese orchids have a long history of cultivation, rich varieties, elegant plant shape, beautiful flowers, refined leaves and delicate fragrance, which are deeply loved by people. We appreciate that the national orchid attaches importance to its temperament, with the development of history, the increase of varieties, different times, people's taste has also changed. From the perspective of appreciation, it is mainly reflected in flower art, leaf art and fragrance.

1. Flower art: orchid appreciation is mainly flower appreciation, which has always been roughly divided into:

a. Petal flowers include plum petals, lotus petals and daffodils. Petal flowers have strict appreciation standards on petal requirements.

b. Plain flower

c. Butterfly flowers include holding butterflies, side butterflies, and whole butterflies.

d. Odd flowers include multi-petaled and few-petaled flowers.

e. Color flower

2. Ye Yi. The leaf art of Guolan is colorful and colorful, such as covered wheel, stripe, tiger spot, snakeskin, bell gong, picture spot, landscape painting, and so on. Many beautiful scenes in life can be reflected in the small orchid leaves.

The blue leaves are green and green, and the leaves are clear and bright. What is more peculiar is that the variation of leaf color and markings will appear in the process of cultivation. This is rare in other flowers. This provides a great pleasure for us orchid farmers. There are many classic inscriptions, all of which are out of line due to the influence of the cultivation environment. The ever-changing nature of Chinese orchids surprises us orchids from time to time.

3. Fragrance. Orchids have that voluptuous and mysterious fragrance, which is incomparable to the aroma of any kind of flowers in the world. No matter the strong fragrance of cymbidium, the fragrance of spring orchid, the delicate fragrance of Jianhan orchid, the sandalwood aroma of orchid, they all have a common characteristic, that is, clear and quiet, if there is none.

Throughout history, ancient and modern Ailan people have praised the incense of orchid. Such as: Confucius said: lan Dang is the king of incense, making Lanxiang a recognized king of aroma, a smell that is loved by both young and old, suitable for both superior and humble. Tang Taizong wrote that the beauty of the sun is uneven, and the wind spreads the light and fragrance. Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty sometimes smelled the wind and dew fragrance, but Peng Ai was not seen. Su Zhe had a deep valley and could not see Lansheng's place, so he chased after the breeze and got it. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty had graceful flowers and long blue leaves, and the wind was difficult to hide the fragrance in the valley. He also appreciated the orchid fragrance very much.

How clearly they wrote about the occasional and erratic nature of Lanxiang. Because the chemical components of different varieties of orchids are different, so people smell the aroma of orchids is also different. Among these main chemical components of Orchid incense, some can kill bacteria and clear poison, and some can refresh the brain. Therefore, the cultivation of orchids, when it blossoms, releasing orchid fragrance can refresh the air and purify the room.

To sum up, appreciating orchids is a process from form to spirit. Each petal shape, color and fragrance of orchids bring sensory enjoyment, while the petal shape and color of each group of flowers are completely different. The same variety of flowers are in the hands of different people, different areas, and different planting methods. Its content and form are also colorful and different. Orchid not only shows the richness of its artistic image, but also symbolizes human spirit, human emotion and human character.

4. Terminology of orchid appreciation

Although the color of the orchid is relatively simple and simple, it is not as beautiful as other flower demons, but its quiet color and elegant charm are difficult to compare with ordinary flowers. According to the orchid in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, green is traditionally the best, especially the tender green is the first, the old green is the second, the yellowish green is the second, and the red green is the second. All the red flowers, the total Israel glutinous is the top grade, the color is dark and purple is the lower grade. For other orchids, the evaluation of color varies from place to place.

Among the outer three petals of the shoulder orchid, the central vertical one is called the main valve, and the left and right lateral arrangement of the two petals is called the side valve. The so-called shoulder, that is, specifically refers to the form of the accessory lobe: the first is horizontal, which is called the shoulder, and the second is that before and after the relaxation valve, the two side lobes droop slightly, which is called falling shoulder, and this form is inferior. The third is that as soon as the flowers are in full bloom, the sidelobe hangs down substantially, forming a triangle with the main lobe, which is called a big falling shoulder, a tripod horse, and an eight-character frame. If it is in this form, even if the petal shape and flower product are good, they are not enough to take because of the bad posture of the outer three petals, and they are inferior products; the fourth kind, the side lobe is slightly upward, which is called flying shoulder, and it is a noble product.
