What are the selection methods of landscape bonsai?

To make landscape bonsai, we need to collect strange rocks from all over the country, among which the best ones can be viewed independently. If they are mixed with mountains (stones), they will bury their unique charm, which is a pity.

1. shape

Form is the primary condition of pursuit. Shape can determine the physical characteristics of rocks, character quality, for any stone species,"shape" are the first push. The shape is divided into body beauty (shape change), posture beauty (stone body size and self-contrast), outline beauty (stone six angles), line beauty (surface texture chapped pattern beauty), proportion beauty (front and rear, left and right, up and down harmony beauty), dynamic beauty (trend, tilt dynamic, etc.) several aspects.

2. God

God is the stone temperament, commonly known as "style", is abstract, internal, implicit, rely on imagination to understand and perception. A good stone must have both shape and spirit, of course, from the appearance of the rock, such as the size and small posture, the movement and static posture, the rigid and soft lines, the simple and complex outline, the moistening and coarse of the stone muscle and stone skin, the coarse and fine texture, the dense and simple pleats, the bright and dark color, the tender and old texture, etc. can also reflect a certain strength and show a certain spiritual temperament.

3. color

Color is another indispensable condition for stone selection. Color to natural fade for the first class, artificial corrosion, fumigation followed. Good stone needs to have a natural silk luster and soft bright, many ancient stone experience generation of artificial touch or human maintenance will produce such a bright luster, said the package slurry (acid etching "package slurry" who has no light and dark depth, also insufficient for expensive), if by oil, wax polishing followed.

4. pattern

Due to the difference of chemical composition and geographical area, the surface wrinkles or hidden patterns will be formed by weathering, such as the wrinkles of Yingshi, the moistening of Yuhua Stone, the grain of Yellow River Stone, etc. Among them, some rocks have natural landscapes, flowers and birds, characters, characters and other wonderful contents, which are precious collectibles.

5. Yun

Some rocks are full of charm, such as Taihu stone in the ring copper stone knock has gong sound, Lingbi stone touch has metal aftersound, floating stone floating on the water surface and quality firm, ring stone shaking stone body has sand sound, water sound, etc., some of these rocks have no special shape, but they have personality, full of charm.

6. quality

Quality for today's generally advocated conditions, the harder the better, the more can reach the gem-level, dry stone difference, smooth stone is good is this principle. Such as high silica content of wood fossils (Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia wind erosion wood fossils), wind erosion stone, Guangxi large fossils, etc., their appearance, texture, feel excellent, it is difficult to use physical and chemical methods to change it, with original flavor, is the pursuit of stone appreciation circles.
