Approaching the Master-- A glimpse of the first Chinese Bonsai Master Exhibition

"the Spring Equinox wicker warbler song, the Summer Solstice pine forest crane accompaniment. The mountains and rivers are infinitely beautiful, and the master pot exhibition is even more voluptuous. " On April 26th, 2018, we welcomed the first national bonsai master and BCI international bonsai master works exhibition.

At the opening ceremony, Ms. Chen Xiaoli, former president of ▲ China Society of Landscape Architecture, clearly expounded the relationship between bonsai and potted plants. It is emphasized that bonsai is a multi-element culture with connotation, thought and soul.

▲ walks into the works of Master Pan Zhonglian, which makes us feel that this is a wonderful encounter with the soul. We admire greatness, yearn for transcendence and learn wisdom. Because thought is the main factor that determines whether a work is good or bad, the mediocrity of the work stems from the pallor of thought, while the poverty of thought stems from the narrowness of what is seen. So we should absorb wisdom and strength.

The works of this exhibition embody the emotion and wisdom of the masters, make people look like mountains and rivers, and let us immerse ourselves in the splendid country of bonsai art.

Bonsai art, like other arts, is the synthesis of multi-level cultural accomplishment, without enough cultural accomplishment. If we only pursue originality in the form of techniques, we can not produce silent and refreshing works of art. Only when each excellent work moves itself first can it move others. The works of Zhang Zhigang, a young bonsai master, can achieve this level. He not only inherited the life principle of his teacher, Mr. he Yisun, who works efficiently and kept a low profile, but also could learn from other masters with an open mind and pursue a kind of learning realm of climbing tall buildings alone and looking at the end of the world.

▲ Young Bonsai Master Zhang Zhigang and his works

The works of the masters not only have the perfect form of bonsai, but also an organic combination of bonsai and artistic conception. Therefore, the excellent bonsai in today's world must come from nature, higher than nature; there must be poems in the painting, supporting things to express aspirations, writing spirit with form, and achieving both spirit and form. Poetic painting is not so much the foundation of Chinese traditional culture as the inevitable trend of the development of bonsai art in the world. The works of many masters always contain the soul of the nation, and do not follow the old ways, and Lingmiao explore alone, natural interest.

The performance of the masters amazed the audience. they made the scene with emotion and combination, and their techniques were more skilled and pure, giving people a sense of ethereal depth. Let people understand the deeper ideological connotation.

The works of Master Tian Yiwei of ▲ have distinct individual features and unique artistic charm, which constantly make people think. His works make the viewer imagine and inspire people to make progress. As if "the water color of the great river, seems to be motionless, like flow is not flow, feel infinitely comfortable and friendly." In short, sincere works can be admired.

Master Liu Chuangang, ▲, is a bonsai master with the strongest personality in contemporary China. His original rainforest-style bonsai has a beautiful artistic conception of three or four points in Rain Wonderland and wind blowing thousands of families in the world.

Several Bolan trees seem to be shrouded in a shady forest, whispering that only birds can experience the delicacy of the rainforest. Everything in the forest is quiet, and the green lawn still retains traces of White Dew. This is a breath of moisture at night, filled with a fresh smell, making people feel that the Summer Solstice is coming. The author "casually" embellished with a few stones, the work suddenly born spirituality, full of poetic beauty.

After watching the performances of the masters, I suddenly felt an indescribable emotion, as if I had been far away from the tedious world. Dyed between the world of admiration and admiration. The works of the masters are not simple bonsai, but their enthusiasm, their love, their wisdom, their unswerving beautiful ideals and the lofty character of fighting for the bonsai cause all their lives.

During the exhibition, the Central Basin Conference organized master training, including bonsai history, Sinology and so on. Through study, we understand the development history of Chinese bonsai and the origin relationship between Japanese bonsai and Chinese bonsai. As a country of origin of bonsai, we should be good at learning the strengths of others and making use of them. While learning from the strengths of others, we should also adhere to the national characteristics and not lose the foundation of the nation. Although the craftsman spirit is worth learning, the direction of the development of Chinese bonsai, such as the combination of trees and stones and poetic painting, has been recognized by the world, giving us a sense of national pride. As a Chinese bonsai man, is there any reason not to follow his own national road? The classics and splendid philosophy created by Chinese culture have civilized Chinese people from generation to generation.

In the future, the direction of the development of Chinese bonsai is just as Master Zhao Qingquan said: "Chinese bonsai people must be down-to-earth, not impetuous, not eager for quick success and quick profit." China is sure to become a bonsai power in the world!

I do not know whether the Chinese national culture has influenced the masters, or the pleasantness of the bonsai people has contributed to the success of the Central Pool Club. In recent years, the achievements of the Central Basin Society are obvious to all.

This activity has benefited a lot from the bonsai people, and I have to thank the advocates and organizers of this event.

Thanks to the Flower Bonsai Stone appreciation Branch of the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture and the Shanghai Botanical Garden!
