Folk flower arrangements among the common people had its origin mainly in religious practices of early times. Flower arrangements with popular compositions found on the ancestral altars emphasized such themes as thanksgiving to benevolent gods, ancestor worship, appeals for good fortune, and the exorcism of ghosts and devils. The composition of these flower arrangements contained brilliant, eye-catching hues and colors. The types used in these flower arrangements included the peony, lotus, chrysanthemum, orchid, camellia, and rose. Among those flower arrangements for special significance were the coxcomb, the tuberose, the Chinese evergreen, and the cherry apple, each in its own season or bloom. Complex and varied color combinations in these flower arrangements contained three or four to more than a dozen different colors. Even flower arrangements with a limited number of flowers strived for as great a variety of color as possible.

These also helped to accentuate the distinction between the vibrant folk flower arrangements and the subdued, stately hues of the literati school.
