Abstract:Lingnan flower arrangement originates from Lingnan people's floral life tradition of loving flowers and cherishing flowers. It is deeply rooted in Lingnan people's daily life. Based on the concept of situation and the theoretical framework of Wang Shaozeng's environment science, this paper studies the situation characteristics of Lingnan flower arrangement in the images of Lingnan export paintings and literati paintings in the Qing Dynasty. The Lingnan flower arrangement in the images often appeared in five kinds of life situations: living room, temple, entertainment, market life and garden. The Lingnan flower arrangement in the Qing Dynasty has the characteristics of secularization, compatibility and practicality, reflecting the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western culture, mobilizing the senses, emphasizing the form, season and elegance and so on. And Lingnan flower arrangement situation is constructed by the integration of five dimensions: space, time, feeling, emotion and culture.
