The golden finch gets its name because the golden flowers are shaped like birds that spread their wings. In addition, there are Caragana, Feilaifeng, finches, leopard whip and other aliases, which are deciduous shrubs of the genus Caragana Leguminosae. The plant is about 1.5 meters high, the iron black-brown trunk is erect and clustered, the slender branchlets are yellow-brown or gray, the long branches are drooping, the stems are spiny and the bark is filamentous. There are small leathery, dark green leaves on odd-pinnate leaves. One to two flowers are born in leaf axils, butterfly-shaped, yellow with blush, blooming from April to June.

The golden finch is distributed in the sunny slopes of the hills and mountains of the Yangtze River Basin and North China, and has been widely cultivated as a garden flower. The roots of the broom are Qiu qu and vigorous, the trunk is clank and iron, and the soft branches are easy to twist and tie, which is suitable for making bonsai in different forms, such as style, cliff type, jungle type, lifting root type, connecting root type, attached stone type, curved dry type, oblique dry type, double dry type and so on. When making bonsai, it should be modeled according to the material, pricked and cut, and combined with pulling and other methods, so that the bonsai produced is not only old and simple, but also lush and full of vitality. To reach the artistic realm that originates from nature and is higher than nature. Before entering the fine basin, the canary bonsai can be piled in a clay basin filled with clean sandy soil. After survival, the canary bonsai can be moved into the fine basin for viewing in the second or third year after preliminary modeling and root lifting. The pot and transplanting of the canary should be carried out before sprouting in spring. Before planting, the extra branches should be cut off, the torn and injured roots should be cut off, and the cut should be smooth. It is strictly forbidden to soak in water, otherwise the roots will rot and die after planting. Water the roots once after planting, and do not water them in the future. Unfolded plants should be kept in the leeward and sunny place after potting, and the ambient temperature should not be too high, so that the roots and leaves will grow, so as not to cause the plants to sprout prematurely and cause "false living" phenomenon because of the high temperature.

The methods of sowing, plant division, cutting, striping and so on are commonly used in the reproduction of canary. Suitable for sunny environment, resistant to drought and barren, but afraid of water and humidity and too shady environment. Its germination is very strong, growing rapidly, in the growing season to often pick the heart, which can not only make the leaves small, but also more buds, more flowering. Cut off the branches that are too long, too messy and affect the beauty of bonsai at any time. Cut the plant again every spring before germination, cutting off weak branches, overgrown branches, withered branches and other branches that affect the shape. The canary is not afraid of the sun and does not need shade even in the height of summer. However, water retting roots, too much fertilization will make the leaves too large, affecting ornamental, so it is generally not necessary to apply additional fertilization, but 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed to the leaves once when the bud is formed to prolong the flowering period. Spend the winter in a cool place indoors or in a sunny place outside. Turn the basin before sprouting every 3 years or so, and the basin soil should be sandy soil with medium fertility and good drainage.
