By the Song Dynasty, flower arrangement had been widely used in palaces and peacetime life, and its artistry was further improved, and its way became regular, fashionable, exquisite and very prosperous.

At that time, there was a folk custom of arranging flowers, specializing in making vases and arranging flowers, and there was a theory of maintaining arranging flowers. Due to the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were combined into one, and the philosophical thought of "the unity of man and nature" was put forward. Everyone is keen to personalize flowers and turn the quality of flowers into ethics, so there is a model of "conceptual flowers".

Concept flower takes quality concept as the main content, and expresses the author's hope and ambition for life and rest with precious, elegant and symbolic flowers. Influenced by landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting, flower arrangement is based on the artistic theory of Chinese painting, especially the literati flower arrangement, which has developed from realistic technique to suitable technique.
