Traditional flower arrangement
Traditional flower arrangement is a kind of living art that uses flower branches as materials. According to research, the traditional flower arrangement art sprouted from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. In the long-term development process, traditional flower arrangement has gone through various stages, including the initial period of the Han Dynasty, the development period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the peak period of the Song Dynasty, the maturity period of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and the decline period of the late Qing Dynasty. The traditional Chinese flower arrangement art advocates the beauty of natural simplicity, and is good at using line modeling and asymmetrical composition to create a poetic and picturesque realm, fully demonstrating the national characteristics of Chinese culture and the aesthetic consciousness of traditional Chinese people. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the traditional Chinese flower arrangement art has been introduced to Japan, which has profoundly influenced the development of Japanese flower arrangement. Traditional flower arrangement is divided into four main types: folk flower arrangement, temple flower arrangement, palace flower arrangement, and literati flower arrangement. Its conception, composition, material selection, pruning, fixation, adjustment, and display all reflect rich cultural connotations and aesthetic concepts. The traditional flower arrangement art gradually declined in the late Qing Dynasty and has revived since the 1980s. At present, the Beijing Flower Arrangement Art Research Association, headed by Wang Lianying, Qin Kuijie and others, is committed to advocating, inheriting, developing and promoting this traditional skill.

Together with the greening of the surrounding areas, it has become a veritable natural oxygen bar. Walking into the Shunyi Olympic Rowing and Water Park, the view will become suddenly broad. The 2,272-meter-long still water track is as clear as spring water and sparkling. The stadium is surrounded by green trees, blue water and blue sky, which complement each other. The logo of the Beijing Olympic Rowing and Water Park is drawn with traditional Chinese brush lines, reflecting the rich Chinese cultural heritage. The colors use the five colors of the Olympic rings, symbolizing the perfect combination of ancient oriental civilization and modern Olympic spirit. The logo image is a variant of a rowing athlete, which has the image characteristics of a rowing athlete paddling with his back to the finish line, and the image characteristics of a canoeist paddling with both hands holding the paddle. The blue-green water pattern in the middle further highlights the characteristics of the water sports. "SHUNYI 2008" also uses a sporty font to highlight the venue and time of the event. The entire composition is dynamic and has a strong sense of movement. In the composition, the red stripe is a variant of the Chinese pinyin initial consonant "S" of the Chinese character "Shun", and together with the yellow stripe, it forms a variant of the Chinese pinyin initial consonant "Y" of the Chinese character "Yi". At the same time, black, red and yellow together form the Chinese character "Yi". The blue and green stripes below symbolize that Shunyi Olympic Water Park and Chaobai River Forest Park are adjacent to each other and set off each other, forming the new Shunyi city heritage of "taking the river as the foundation, water as the soul, and forest as the rhyme". The step-by-step upward water pattern and the text composition of "SHUNYI 2008" also symbolize that the people of Shunyi seize the opportunity of the Olympics, carry forward the Shunyi spirit of "working together, scientific innovation, being down-to-earth, and pursuing excellence" on the road of building a socialist harmonious society and "working together to build a well-off society in an all-round way and creating a green international port", and continue to forge ahead and have an uplifting spirit.

For example, the bridge between the rowing competition field and the canoeing competition field has two arches of different heights on both sides of the bridge, which are in the shape of waves. Even the floor tiles on the bridge are paved in the same style. There is also the management area of the International Rowing Federation and the boathouse area where athletes park their rowing boats. Both adopt the arc-shaped architectural style, which looks like waves on the water and canoes moving forward courageously.
