On the understanding of bonsai.

Bonsai originated in China. Among the world's art forests, it is one of the exquisite oriental art products with natural taste, and it is also one of the unique traditional garden arts in China. Bonsai began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of about 1300 years. The two potted plants (pictured) on the mural of the tomb of Prince Li Xian of Zhang Huai in Tang Dynasty unearthed in Shaanxi 1972 are the earliest potted plants discovered so far.

Bonsai is the epitome of natural scenery, and it is a comprehensive plastic arts integrating gardening, literature, painting and other arts. Pot artists use creative skills and reasonable layout to cultivate trees, flowers or various rocks with certain artistic shapes with pots with different depths, lengths, widths, lines, sizes, colors and textures, thus forming an ideal three-dimensional picture imitating nature and surpassing the original state of Shan Ye. This plastic art is called bonsai. Bonsai is a traditional art treasure in China with a long history, which is deeply loved by people and enjoys a high reputation in the world. It is the crystallization of cultivation technology and plastic arts, and the combination of natural beauty and artistic beauty.

It takes plants, rocks, water, soil, etc. as raw materials, and has been designed, molded, processed and carefully maintained by the gardener. People regard bonsai as "three-dimensional painting" and "silent poem" because it can show the infinite scenery of nature in a hurricane-level basin. With the change of time and season, it can also present different postures, colors and artistic conception.

In a sense, bonsai is also a synthesis of aesthetics, literature and science. The so-called aesthetic, bonsai production should give people a beautiful appreciation, simple and beautiful, vivid and intriguing; The so-called literature and art, bonsai modeling conception, poetic and picturesque, high and low levels, ups and downs, reflecting a high literary talent; The so-called science, the main modeling material of bonsai is plants, plants have the characteristics of life and the law of growth and development, which determines that making it must master the knowledge of horticultural science and carry out long-term artistic processing and maintenance management. Only in this way can its survival and graceful posture be guaranteed.

Bonsai, a science and art, requires high cultivation and processing techniques for plants. Use a small pot of Angkor, a pinch of soil and a big tree to make it grow hard. But what is even more rare is that it is an old pile for many years and can be skilled. Therefore, bonsai is really a "higher art" and a living "artistic sculpture".
