According to historical development and records, western flower arrangement began in ancient Egypt. It developed in Italy, the Netherlands, Britain and France, and gradually formed a complete western flower arrangement art. Its development and form changes are closely related to the development of the times and changes in the environment. Every time, a new form of flower arrangement will be produced.

Three periods of flower arrangement development:

1, the period of religious bondage. From the early AD to the Middle Ages, western countries entered the low tide of feudal culture and art one after another.

2.14-16th century During the period of free development, the European Renaissance flourished and broke through the shackles of thought.

3. During the prosperous period of17-18th century, with the development of navigation, war and trade, flowers and materials were widely exchanged all over the world, which promoted the development of horticulture.

The causes of the Renaissance:

1. There are still many controversies in academic circles about the reasons why the Renaissance arose in Italy and happened at that time. Accordingly, there are many theories to explain the origin of the Renaissance.

2. Most scholars believe that at the end of 14, many scholars from East Rome (Byzantium) fled to Western Europe with a large number of ancient Greek and Roman art treasures and books on literature, history and philosophy.

3. Some people say it was a souvenir brought back by the Crusaders during their third crusade (although they gave it up halfway for the third time). They found these books on the road, brought them back and hid them in the basement of the church. After being discovered, they marveled at the art and literature of ancient Rome and began to spread it vigorously in order to achieve the achievements of ancient Rome at that time.

4. 1295, Kyle Polo, a Venetian businessman, published The Notes on the East, which was absurd but full of temptation in European society at that time. This triggered the strong desire of Europeans to explore the highly civilized and colorful eastern world, and finally broadened their horizons. The exchange of eastern and western cultures has led to the rapid development of literature and art.
