Natural method of bonsai creation

Nature teaches the so-called "nature" and "nature", which includes everything in the world.

Bonsai is the artistic generalization and artistic reappearance of famous mountain people, Chuan and Qi hundred old trees. To create bonsai, the most important thing is to have a hilly forest spring on your chest before there is a "summary." And "reappearance". Learning from nature and learning from nature is an important work of collecting materials and a prerequisite for creation. Of course, since it is a creation, it is not a copy of the daily scenery, not a mirror-like "microcosm", but a combination of realism and romanticism. How can it be strange to come out of thousands of miles, and how can the water of thousands of miles be fully displayed? Bonsai creation must not carefully observe and study the towering old trees, and seriously carry out some artistic processing of tailoring, trade-off, rendering and exaggeration in order to centrally and typically reproduce nature. For human beings, poets, painters and artists of all ages eulogize and worship infinitely, absorb nutrition from nature and enrich their own creation.

Bonsai workers must also spare no effort to climb mountains and wade, do not make in-depth research on the effluent trees, grasp the characteristics and master the rules. Mountains, or quiet, or show, or dangerous, or male, or strange; trees, or vigorous and bold, or chic and elegant. Concentrate on capturing its characteristics. And each feature, we should pay attention to the subtle difference, search Qifeng to hit the stomach manuscript. There are inexhaustible bonsai art materials hidden in nature, but we need to dig and collect materials in order to avoid stereotypes and create works with new ideas, beautiful composition, pleasant colors and artistic charm. A hundred people have this experience: "since Jiangling climbed the Sanlai Gate, the long current is more than 3,000 miles." the vortex returns, the male waves prepare in the meantime …... cliffs, steep banks, high winds, majestic mountains and deep rocks, spring valleys, tiger den dragon pools, dangerous and dangerous, showers, storms, all experienced …... it's really called searching for things. " Many bonsai technicians do not have a high level of education, but they can create fine works with both artistic conception and spirit, which is the result of their efforts in observing nature and "traveling thousands of miles". Of course, the emphasis on traveling thousands of miles and having hills in the chest does not deny reading ten thousand books and hiding poems in the belly, but to clarify the source, and not to learn from a hundred people as the source. If we put the cart before the horse, the artistic source of bonsai will be exhausted.

How to learn nature and what to learn? To learn from nature is to grasp the characteristics, characteristics, expressions and situations of all kinds of paspalum things, and to grasp the regularity of things. Everything in nature has a certain regularity. Trees have growth, development, flowering, fruiting, deciduous leaves, dormancy and other laws; mountains have spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunny and rainy day and night. As far as plants are concerned, each has different botanical forms and biological characteristics, strange posture, variety, such as bamboo, pine green and vigorous, sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, begonia charm, etc., each has its own characteristics. Take elegant interest, for example, there is a difference between quaint, elegant and elegant, and a hundred people divide elegance into five categories: "if you talk about innocence, you will be elegant; if you talk about innocence, you will be elegant; if you talk about innocence, you will be elegant; if you want to change in accordance with the rules, you will be elegant; if you have sparse trees in the plain, far away from cold sand, vaguely distant ridges, full autumn water, not much pen and ink, the more you play, the more elegant you will be." Shen Tian Qi is quiet, which makes people suddenly get rid of their mania and elegance; they can gather the strengths of ancient families and become their own demeanor, and people are elegant without losing the spirit of famous scrolls. " In short, the more meticulous you observe things, the more you will be able to do whatever you want in your creation. "follow the class of gambling, so that the works are similar in shape and spirit, and have a vivid and touching artistic conception.

The so-called resemblance means that the works of art vividly reflect the appearance of objective objects; the so-called spiritual resemblance refers to the vivid and distinct appearance and unique personality of things. Shape is the foundation, and if there is no resemblance in shape, there will be no resemblance in spirit. However, if we stick to the resemblance and pursue the local reality of the appearance, we can only highlight the ethos and personality characteristics of the object. Here, God is the key, the form is to convey spirit, form and spirit must be both, both are indispensable. Due to the limitations of materials, forms of expression and other objective conditions, bonsai art is affected to a certain extent in realism. If it pursues strict likeness, it is often distorted, not to mention the ultimate goal of bonsai art is to express artistic conception. To express one's feelings, only by having both form and spirit can this goal be achieved. The aesthetic requirements of both form and spirit are not similar. We emphasize that bonsai should be in line with nature, worship does not mean to become a model of natural scenery. If bonsai wants to "shrink the scenery of nature" and "shrink thousands of miles from the earth," one peak will lead to thousand fathom, and one even will lead to thousands of miles of rivers and lakes, it must be summarized, condensed, and concentrated, and it will not be completely similar. Compared with the scenery in the bonsai, although the shape is not completely similar, the spirit is similar, and only when the shape is not completely similar, can we achieve the spiritual resemblance, too much resemblance, but lose the charm.

In the creation of bonsai, in order to achieve both form and spirit, we must start from all aspects. First of all, we must have a full understanding of the performance of the object, in order to highlight God, when choosing the performance object, we should make an appropriate summary and choice of shape, and sometimes only choose half a claw ", that is, to seek simplicity in complexity. In the processing and production, for plants, rocks, etc., we must do the art in accordance with their aptitude, in order to make full use of its inherent form to show a natural charm. In the layout selection, we must flexibly use the relationship between form and spirit, in order to achieve the perfection of the image, so that the viewer can stimulate the sense of Qian, produce association and resonate. Form a far-reaching artistic conception, and the artistic conception is the lack of fusion of the scene. And every plant and every tree, every mountain and river in the basin infuses the author's subjective feelings, condenses the author's thoughts and feelings, and produces infinite associations from the limited scenery. For example, if the pile head and trunk are vigorous, rugged and intertwined, they will be molded into a big tree or old banyan type; if the head root is smooth and the trunk is sideways, it will be molded into a fluttering tree; if the trunk is straight and straight into the sky, it will be molded into a large cotton tree, and so on. It is required that the form of the work is in line with nature, so that each form has its own personality and characteristics, including both natural beauty and artistic beauty, so as to achieve the creative purpose of "originating from nature and higher than nature".
