Chinese people all love Luohansong illustration of Luohansong bonsai production, and you will also love it at a glance.

Why are pine and cypress bonsai so popular in the bonsai market?

The director thinks that this may have something to do with the humanistic tradition in the bones of the Chinese people. Mohist poets in ancient times have been praising the towering character of pine and cypress, and called them "old cold three friends" together with the meaningful bamboo and plum.

There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: the year is cold, and then the pine and cypress fade. Pine and cypress bonsai is very popular because of its beautiful symbolic meaning of everlasting and longevity.

In this article, the director wants to talk to his Taiwan friends about the popular Luohan pine bonsai!
