The beautiful form of bonsai with strange stone

Generally speaking, there are three basic forms of beauty: natural beauty, social beauty and artistic beauty, natural beauty is the beauty of natural things, social beauty is the beauty of social life, and the unified expression of natural beauty and social beauty is artistic beauty. The beauty of bonsai is the beauty of bonsai, which is preserved or processed or imitated in bonsai for people to enjoy.

According to the specific analysis, the natural beauty includes the natural beauty of bonsai trees, waterscape, mountain scenery, habitat, bonsai bowl, several frames and animals (including characters). Bonsai art beauty includes modeling beauty, artistic conception (poetic) beauty and implicit beauty.

(1) the natural beauty of bonsai the beauty of natural scenery in bonsai is the natural beauty of bonsai.

a. Bonsai trees are naturally beautiful. The roots, stems, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits of trees all have their posture, shape, color and charm. In addition, flowers and fruits also have their fragrance. The natural properties of these trees constitute the material basis of natural beauty. People often use beautiful words such as graceful posture, hanging roots and claws, strange withered peaks, beautiful flowers, fragrant flowers and numerous fruits to describe them, which shows that the aesthetic feeling they give people is profound. b. The mountain scenery is naturally beautiful. The natural shape, undulation, texture (all kinds of textured lines), color and texture of peaks or rocks can also arouse people's sense of beauty. Such as the bonsai performance of the mountain view of Guilin, the three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the mountain view of the Stone Forest in Yunnan, can give people the feeling of natural beauty. c. The waterscape is naturally beautiful. The reflection of the waves and light of the water, the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and the sound of the water, "the sparkling sound of the spring stone is like a piano," are all full of natural beauty. d. The pot is naturally beautiful. Although the pot is a man-made product, it still retains the natural beauty of coordination and simplicity.

e. A few natural beauties. Regular wooden frames have wooden natural beauty (texture, quality, color, rhyme), while natural trees are more simple, hazy, childish and cohesive.

f. Animals are naturally beautiful. In addition to artistic beauty, people and animal accessories still have their natural beauty.

Natural beauty lies not only in the natural beauty of its natural objects, but also in that it is the result of people's subjective emotion and ideology acting on natural things, and natural beauty should also be the objectification of man's essential power. The so-called objectification of man's essential power is essentially about the relationship between man and nature. That is, man's essential power is reflected in the natural object, and the natural object embodies the human essential power. This kind of object which embodies the essential power of man is what Marx called "humanized nature". "humanized nature" is the product of the development of human society and the historical result of fundamental changes in the relationship between man and nature. When people praise the color, fragrance, appearance and rhyme of plum blossoms, they actually praise human beings themselves and the essential strength of plum blossoms: wisdom, talent, thought, character, emotion and vigorous vitality. that is to say, natural beauty is the organic unity between the nature of natural beauty and the essence of society.

(2) the artistic beauty of bonsai

Artistic beauty is the concentration, generalization and reflection of social beauty and natural beauty. Although it is not as broad and rich as social beauty and natural beauty, it has gone through a series of de-coarsening and distinguishing fake things, retaining the real things, from the outside to the inside, from the outside to the inside, from this to that, removing the scattered, ugly, rough and accidental shortcomings of social beauty, and removing the inpurity of natural beauty (the unity of beauty and ugliness). It is not standard enough, so it is purer, more concentrated and more typical than social beauty and natural beauty, so it is more aesthetic.

① is beautiful in shape. The beauty of modeling is the formal beauty of the natural scenery in bonsai through artificial modeling. Modeling beauty is divided into beautiful type and magnificent type.

a. Beautiful. Also known as Xiumi (Zhu Guangqian) or soft beauty, it gives people a soft and pleasant feeling. Such as the beautiful Emei World Show in the bonsai, the small and exquisite landscape of Guilin and Shanghai miniature bonsai, the elegance and elegance of Su School and the graceful charm of Sichuan School, are all very beautiful. According to its different forms, beauty can be divided into quiet beauty, dynamic beauty and color beauty. The quiet night in the bonsai, the secluded valley and flowing spring, the quiet jungle, the sea and so on give people a relaxed and pleasant sense of beauty. For example, the work "cicada noise forest wants to be quiet" fully embodies this kind of quiet beauty, which gives people a sense of quiet beauty with the help of hearing and imagination. There is a kind of dynamic beauty, such as clouds in bonsai, flying waterfalls, rippling lakes, willow dancing and so on. For example, the three spring willow bonsai in Henan Province, the graceful soft branches fluttering with the wind, reflect the flow of the wind and the rhythm of spring from the dance of the branches. Another example is the work "Phoenix Dance", which is mainly static, dynamic and static, giving people rich associations. Beautiful colors, colorful flowers in bonsai, green branches and leaves, golden morning glow, can give people a sense of beauty.

b. Magnificent. The green pines and cypresses in the pile scenery, the high mountains and steep cliffs in the bonsai all give people a kind of masculine beauty and give the viewer a sense of strength and agitation.

② is beautiful in artistic conception. Bonsai artistic conception refers to a kind of artistic realm formed by the fusion of nature and life scenes and the thoughts and feelings contained in bonsai works. This kind of realm has both form and spirit, endless reason and interest, and a blend of feelings and scenes, so that the viewer can be infected emotionally and ideologically through association. The depth or superficiality of artistic conception is the key to the success and failure of bonsai works. Bonsai works with beautiful artistic conception are intriguing and never get tired of watching, because bonsai authors have melted their feelings into the landscape in the process of bonsai creation, so when viewers enter the realm of this kind of beautiful feelings, they can achieve ideological resonance with bonsai authors.

The highest realm of bonsai art is poetic painting, which is based on painting and habitat, and the two permeate each other. The most difficult thing to express in bonsai creation is poetic painting.

A the meaning of painting. It means that bonsai has a painting-like artistic conception, and the work looks like a vivid three-dimensional Chinese painting. Pan Zhonglian's work "Liu Songnian"
