The answer is yes!

Bonsai

Artistic value

The artistic value of bonsai is reflected in its leaves, branches, stems and roots. In terms of leaves, we should choose those tree species with dense leaves and twigs, which can better reflect the artistic effect of small and medium-sized trees. In terms of branches, the treatment of branches can best reflect the author's skill and artistic level. The branches of a successful and mature bonsai should be distributed naturally, dense and orderly. Evergreen trees should be full in shape, while deciduous trees should have the characteristics of dense branchlets and dignified appearance after defoliation.

In terms of trunk, the trunk should be changed, and it should be natural from the bottom to the top. The straight type should be strong, straight and upright, with a feeling of majestic and majestic. The curved stem type requires that the trunk twists and turns and avoids symmetrical or right-angled bends as far as possible. Only those unexpected and reasonable trunk can show the artistic personality of bonsai. From the root, there is an old saying that "a tree trunk without roots is like cutting wood". The artistic value of roots is very outstanding. In general, the roots of bonsai should be close to the potted surface, and the roots are distributed in all directions with the trunk as the center. The root of the Tigen-style work should be distributed naturally, replacing the stem with the root, and the trend should be accompanied by the tree trunk.

Generally speaking, the artistry of bonsai should reflect the natural effect of looking majestic from a distance, orderly twigs from a close look, and natural collocation of leaves, branches, stems and roots. The creativity of bonsai art is very important. Works that can make small trees have the grace of big trees and old trees are good bonsai.

Bonsai

gradually entering blissful circumstances

Bonsai business has existed since ancient times. As early as the Neolithic Age from 10,000 BC to 4000 BC, our ancestors planted plants into utensils for ornamental purposes. According to existing archaeological and literature records, during the excavation of the Hemudu Neolithic site in Yutao County, Zhejiang Province, a piece of five-leaf pottery was found, with a square pottery basin engraved on it, and plants resembling evergreen were planted on it. Mr. Gao Shengbao told reporters: "the bonsai of our country has had considerable development as far back as the Northern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, and it has been exported to neighboring countries or ethnic groups such as Turks at that time."

In China, with the development of bonsai, bonsai investment has different temperatures in different historical periods. In modern times, for example, from World War II to the Cultural Revolution, bonsai was in a period of depression. After the 1970s, the development of bonsai in China gradually recovered. In 1979, the State Administration of Urban Construction hosted the first national "bonsai art exhibition" in Beijing since the founding of the people's Republic of China, displaying as many as 1100 bonsai pots. Since then, the Flower Bonsai Branch of the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture will hold a "Chinese Bonsai Evaluation Exhibition" every few years.

Value depression

Although the current situation of financial investment is not optimistic, it has little impact on the art market. Bonsai is no exception, but it is also for this reason that the overall value of the bonsai market is generally undervalued and is a good time to make investment.

Compared with traditional calligraphy and painting, porcelain and other fields, the bonsai market has been in a relatively "blank" period. Due to the lack of extensive appreciation basis and professional skills to protect bonsai, the risk of bonsai investment is aggravated.

In addition, collectors should also choose bonsai according to the size of the space to avoid the situation of "big trees in the cabin". Therefore, no matter what we invest in, it is best for us to understand the rules of this industry, ask more questions, and communicate more. After all, the money we invest is earned by us, and it is not a pie that falls casually from the world. Finally, I hope everyone can make a success!
