Hong Kong Palace Museum

Join us in this workshop, where you can unleash your creativity, drawing inspiration from the Lunar New Year and the artistry of Chinese flower arrangement.

The art of flower arrangement dates back to the Tang dynasty, originating from religious ceremonies as offerings to the Buddha. In the folk tradition, seasonal flower arrangements, including those of Lunar New Year focus on the auspicious meanings of different flowers and plants. The aesthetics of lines and proportion among flowers and the vase are of equal importance.
