Women living centuries back were confined to limited spaces of living and social circles. Engaging in activities of handicrafts and artistry and decorating themselves were important ways to enrich their days and meanwhile, to express.

The Chinese Traditional Cultural Museum recently held two handicraft workshops to celebrate the International Women's Day and the cultural heritage. One was hosted by Lan Ningli, a ceramic artist of Zhejiang province, who introduced to attendants the history and evolution of flower arrangements and apparatuses used to match the flowers and the interior environments.
