In a quiet courtyard framed by grey bricks and traditional architecture, an ancient aesthetic tradition spanning over a millennium is gently coming back to life. Inside the workshop of Mao Yizhen, an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Jinling Flower Arranging, our host joins the young floral master to explore the art of summer blooms. The practice embodies profound Eastern philosophy: trimming away the superfluous to leave just a few elegant stems reflects the wisdom of choice and balance; adjusting the height and angles so the flowers seem to gaze at each other in rhythm celebrates natural harmony; and above all, honoring the true nature of plants without forced artificiality serves as a living footnote to "following the laws of Nature" (Dao Fa Zi Ran). From the historical tale in the Book of the South (Nan Shi)—where Xiaozhi, Prince of Jinling in the Southern Dynasties, preserved lotus flowers in a copper vessel out of filial devotion—to becoming a relaxing summer ritual embraced by today's youth, this ancient art is painting a vivid canvas of modern Eastern aesthetics.
