Today, the first Bonsai Qishi Root Art Fair in Yantai, Shandong Province kicked off in the Yellow Sea Amusement City, which is open to the public free of charge. The event is jointly sponsored by Yantai Municipal Government, Shandong Flower Bonsai Strange Stone artists Association, Laishan District Government, Shandong Huanghai Pearl Group Co., Ltd., Municipal Bonsai Art Association and Municipal Root Art Association.

This activity is a grand event in the cultural life of the people of Yantai. Bonsai shows its peculiar brilliance as a wonderful plant in the culture. It attracted the national "08 Tang style Exhibition", judges and bonsai masters Bao Shiqi, Xu Hao, Lu Zhiwei, Zhang Zhengwu and other experts to judge, guide and academic exchanges. National judges you Guoquan, Li Baoxiang and other Qishi Genyi judges also came to attend the event.

The scale of the boutique gathering is unprecedented.

Yesterday, the reporter walked into the Yellow Sea Amusement City and interviewed Wang Xiangze, head of the Preparatory Committee of the first Bonsai Qishi Root Art Fair in Yantai, Shandong Province, at the coffee shop on the first floor of the Yellow Sea Pearl. Wang Xiangze, chairman of the Yellow Sea Pearl Group, went straight to the subject as soon as he saw the reporter: "We have held five exhibitions of bonsai, strange stone and root art in a row, but this is the first large-scale exhibition like this." .

Wang Xiangze pointed to a tall bonsai placed on one side of the coffee shop and said: "No matter how beautiful the home decoration is, there will be no vitality without bonsai, and less elegance without a stone." Ten years ago, Yantai Bonsai Garden Association was very famous, and it received great attention every time it participated in the exhibition in the provincial capital, but in recent years, the development of Yantai bonsai is not ideal, because the overall bonsai cultural atmosphere has not been formed. Bonsai originally originated in China, but now it is not as fast as Japan and South Korea. In Japan, primary and secondary school students offer bonsai courses, and the school regularly organizes students to study and watch in state-level bonsai gardens, so as to cultivate the aesthetics around their children from an early age. In South Korea, on August 15, families get together and no longer go out. But when they learned that Yantai held the Expo, the president of the Korean Stone appreciation Association and his party gave up celebrating the festival with their families and came across the sea to participate. They not only want to appreciate the strange stone culture of Shandong, but also hope to establish cultural and artistic exchanges with Shandong. The Expo received strong support from the municipal party committee and municipal government, and soon Yantai's bonsai stone culture was able to communicate with Japan and South Korea, allowing Yantai's bonsai and natural stones to be unveiled in Japan's national style exhibition. Now, the exhibition hall of the Expo is ready. " Wang Xiangze talked about this and got up and motioned to everyone to watch on the spot in the exhibition hall.

Wang Xiangze took us into a huge bonsai exhibition hall. A 300-year-old banyan tree is located in the center of the exhibition hall, surrounded by rows of scattered and colorful bonsai surrounded by coconut trees. The big banyan tree is very powerful against a white background. He looked affectionately at a more than 1-meter-high, seasoned bonsai and said that this bonsai has been around for more than 200 years, and there are more than 300-year-old potted plants nearly two meters high.

In order to facilitate communication between Yantai citizens and bonsai stone lovers, more than 200 stalls have been set up in the trading area.

It is reported that the main purpose of holding this exhibition is to better promote the development of Yantai bonsai and stone appreciation industry, enrich the cultural life of citizens, and further enhance the taste of the city and the cultural taste of citizens.

Bonsai reflects aesthetics and art.

Facing the potted landscape and talking about the aesthetic art of bonsai, Wang Xiangze began to trace its history: bonsai originated in the Tang Dynasty in China, with plants, mountains, stones, water, soil and other materials as materials, through the horticulturist's conception and design, modeling and processing, meticulous care, it can show different posture, color and artistic conception. It is not only the crystallization of cultivation technology and plastic arts, but also the combination of natural beauty and artistic beauty. It has a history of more than 1300 years. It is a traditional Chinese art treasure and enjoys a high reputation all over the world.

Some people say, aren't bonsai just pots of green plants? Wang Xiangze believes that bonsai is a combination of aesthetics, literature and science. He said: in the production of bonsai, horticulturists should first consider to give people the enjoyment of beauty, elegant and beautiful, vivid charm, intriguing; also requires designers to have a certain literary literacy, bonsai modeling ideas should be poetic, high and low levels, there are cadences, ups and downs The main modeling material of bonsai is plants, which has the characteristics of life and the law of growth and development, which determines that it must master the knowledge of horticultural science and long-term experience in artistic processing and maintenance and management. in order to ensure its survival and graceful posture.

The natural strange stone has unique charm.

There is a poem that says: the mountain without stone is not strange, the water without stone is not clear, the garden without stone is not beautiful, and the room without stone is not elegant.

"if you are in the middle of your home, if you put a few natural elegant stones into it, there will be a feast for the eyes." "A good stone is like a symphony; it moves and infects you with shapes, colors, stripes, or other forms of moving melodies, making you have unlimited associations and resonate with its inner beauty, so that you can't put it down and forget your worries." That's what Wang Xiangze said.

Wang Xiangze introduced while walking in the stone appreciation hall: stone art has always been an ancient and novel unique art that exists with people's production and life. Look at this stone, a natural strange stone for more than 300 years, which will never fail. Today, people are still pursuing the connotation and true meaning of its beauty, which is used to inspire future generations to combine the association of beauty with the creation of nature, and strive to achieve a state of selfless thinking. The ancients could do so, not to mention today!

Wang Xiangze went on to say that watching natural stones can be traced back at least to the Spring and Autumn period more than 3000 years ago. The stone appreciation culture is summed up by watching the natural strange stones. Generally speaking, oriental stone appreciation culture pays more attention to humanistic connotation and philosophy, and has more abstract ideas and personified emotional colors. the main ornamental body is natural stone species, and the natural stone shape is often rich and colorful, and it can even be suitable for people at will. It is the reflection and extension of oriental traditional cultural feelings, philosophy, beliefs and values in the field of ornamental stone. On the other hand, the western stone appreciation culture pays more attention to the connotation of science and history, and has a more intuitive, clear and scientific concept, and its viewing subjects are often dominated by all kinds of animal and plant fossils and colorful mineral crystals and specimens. It is the display and confirmation of some basic knowledge of science and technology in natural objects with ornamental value.

The reporter observed that with the development of Yantai economy and the improvement of citizens' living standards, Yantai people pay more and more attention to the taste of life, and more and more people advocate simple and environmentally friendly decoration and attach importance to the green layout of the living environment. There are often citizens who travel to bring back some special stones. In many office buildings, high-end hotels, coffee shops, almost all can see strange stones, root arts, bonsai and flowers, the beauty contained is the need for modern people to constantly improve their taste.

Calligraphy and painting works on display at the same time

The exhibition halls of this Expo have their own characteristics. Wang Xiangze pointed to a building in front of him. This is the Yellow Sea Art Museum built six years ago. The museum houses more than 500 works by calligraphers and painters from the Ming and Qing dynasties and modern Yantai. An area of more than 1200 square meters will be opened at the same time as this exposition. In addition to the existing works, more than 160 works by experts, professors, teachers and students of Rongbaozhai Art Academy will also be displayed. Most of the experts and professors who came to participate in the exhibition were contemporary celebrities, including Luo Zongyuan, Feng Yuan, Cheng Dali, long Rui and so on.

The exhibition halls of this Expo have their own characteristics. Wang Xiangze pointed to a building in front of him. This is the Yellow Sea Art Museum built six years ago. The museum houses more than 500 works by calligraphers and painters from the Ming and Qing dynasties and modern Yantai. An area of more than 1200 square meters will be opened at the same time as this exposition.

Most of the experts and professors who came to participate in the exhibition were contemporary celebrities, including Luo Zongyuan, Feng Yuan, Cheng Dali, long Rui and so on. [bonsai figures] Chinese outstanding bonsai artists: Zhang Zailiang, who was in his infancy in ancient times, still talked about bonsai art. Zhang Zailiang gave the first impression that he was simple, generous and approachable. If you do not see the many award certificates awarded to him over the years, it is hard to imagine that he is a senior bonsai teacher of Suzhou Garden Bureau, executive director of China Bonsai artists Association, outstanding Chinese bonsai artists in the next century and senior advisor to the World Bonsai Stone Culture Advisory Council. He loved bonsai art all his life, regarded bonsai art as his second life, often faced bonsai, carefully cut it, absorbed in it, and forgot to eat and sleep. His bonsai production technology is in the leading level in China, and his works have won many awards and become an important descendant of Su-style bonsai art. Zhang Zailiang is not only well-known in domestic bonsai art circles, but also has a certain influence abroad. One year, he visited Japan at the invitation of a friend and was warmly received by a number of Japanese bonsai artists. When he offered to visit Masahiko Kimura, Japan's most famous world-class bonsai artist, he was politely refused by the hostess because of his busy work. However, when Masahiko Kimura knew that it was Mr. Zhang Zailiang of China, he not only received him as an exception, but also accompanied Zhang Zailiang to visit Japan's main bonsai gardens and production bases for several days in a row, which impressed his colleagues. Zhang Zailiang, who loves bonsai and enjoys flowers, was born in Haiyan, Zhejiang Province in 1942. In April 1963, he jumped the queue in the fifth production team of Xinnong Battalion, Pingwang Town, Wujiang County, worked in the town sauce factory, and worked as a salesperson in the sales department of the supply and marketing co-operative. Since childhood, he loves nature, likes flowers and plants, and has a strong interest in plant growth, strange stones and strange scenery. In 1968, Zhang Zailiang planted a pomegranate in an ordinary flowerpot. This was his first bonsai. In 1970, I borrowed a copy of "in the Flowers and trees" from a friend, which was published by Shanghai Culture Publishing House in September 1956 and compiled by Zhou Lianjuan, a famous Suzhou painter and bonsai artist. At that time, it was during the "Cultural Revolution", only talking about "politics", the bookstore was full of political books, and the traditional culture was criticized as "feudal dross". Zhang Zailiang borrowed "among the Flowers and trees" and learned the basic knowledge of bonsai art by carefully reading it without picking up his hands. This book became Zhang Zailiang's enlightening teacher to delve into bonsai art. In the early 1970s during the Cultural Revolution, bonsai had neither status nor market. They also run the risk of being labeled as "petty bourgeois sentiment", "not failing to live up to their legitimate job" and being criticized. Not only can not buy bonsai art books, but also can see very few kinds of flowers, even if you can not buy them. Zhang Zailiang often goes to Suzhou gardens, because only in Suzhou gardens can you enjoy a small amount of flowers and bonsai. Once, when he saw the azaleas in full bloom in the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, he was really reluctant to leave. How he wished he could have a pot of azaleas. Love flowers, Zhang Zailiang, although usually cherish a flower and a grass, at this time also lose face, an exception quietly broke a branch. After returning home, he actually survived the cuttage, so that he had a pot of rhododendron potted flowers that belonged to him very precious at that time. A few years later, this rare pot of rhododendron was cultivated by him into large potted flowers, and after a few years of cutting propagation, one pot turned into dozens of pots. But he was not satisfied that he had only a few varieties, such as cuckoos, and in order to add new varieties of flowers, he made several special trips to the mountains near the town of Lizhu in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, to dig wild orchids. Once dug up two large bags, happily carried home, planted dozens of pots of orchids. By the mid-1970s, the small garden of Zhang Zailiang's home was full of potted flowers and bonsai, including sparrow plum, elm, five-needle pine, rhododendron, orchid, camellia, and so on. In 1979, Zhang Zailiang built two bungalows in the town with a small garden of 30 square meters. The roof is made into a platform in order to grow flowers. When the policy was implemented in 1981, Zhang Zailiang changed from a rural hukou to a town hukou, where he was assigned to work in a town supply and marketing co-operative and grow flowers in his spare time after work. When I walked into the house, the garden was full of flowers, and the roof terrace was also full of flowers. Zhang Zailiang moved several pots of flowers to the store to enjoy the flowers with his customers. He regarded planting and appreciating flowers as the greatest pleasure in life. Learning from nature, worshiping a famous teacher has been passed on for a long time. Far and near, he knows that Zhang Zailiang loves and grows flowers very well, and more and more people come to Zhang Zailiang's house to appreciate flowers. In 1985, when Pingwang Town planned to build a park, the secretary of the town party committee found that Zhang Zailiang was a talented person and decided to transfer him to Pingwang Yinghu Park to be responsible for the preparatory work of the park. Such an ordinary personnel transfer for others was an important turning point in Zhang Zailiang's life, making him a garden manager from an amateur bonsai lover, and began to become a professional bonsai artist. Zhang Zailiang gets up early in the morning and feels dark and takes the garden as his home. No matter how busy the park construction work is, his face is always happy. When he was advised to pay attention to rest, his answer was simple: "I am happy". Thanks to the diligent efforts of Zhang Zailiang, Yinghu Park in Pingwang Town was initially completed in just over a year. It is the first citizen park in Pingwang Town in history. After the opening of the park, the peach red willow green cuckoo is in full bloom in spring, and the chrysanthemum exhibition in autumn is deeply loved by the public, and people who do morning exercises, walk and enjoy the garden continue one after another. What pleases Zhang Zeliang most is that in addition to doing a good job in the daily management of the park, he has also designated a "garden in the park" of about 2,000 square meters (3 mu) to display bonsai. He gave the small garden an elegant name: "Cuizhuang". From then on, Zhang Zailiang had an opportunity to show his ability to display the art of bonsai. Although it was a "garden in the garden," it was exquisitely arranged, and it was neatly filled with bonsai with different postures. "Cuizhuang" is well-known and has become the main feature of Pingwang Park's reputation. Because of Zhang Zailiang's strong responsibility and love of bonsai and greening, he was elected director of Pingwang town landscaping management station and deputy director of town government greening office. Zhang Zailiang is not satisfied with his achievements. every year, he subscribes to newspapers and periodicals such as "Bonsai" and "Chinese Flowers", and specially buys books such as "Bonsai plastic Art" and "Flower cultivation and Bonsai production" to conscientiously study theoretical knowledge. absorb the strengths of bonsai works in various places and broaden artistic ideas. He cherishes and strives for every opportunity to learn bonsai art, and strives to improve his theoretical level and practical production skills. In 1985, he attended the Chinese Rural Youth Wealth School and studied garden art. In 1986, he became his beginner disciple by Zhu Zian, a famous bonsai master and leading figure of the Su School. In 1988, he attended the crash course of Beijing Forestry University to study bonsai art, got the first place in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education examination, and was admitted as a member of the China Bonsai artists Association. At ordinary times, Zhang Zailiang likes to draw nutrition from nature and increase the inspiration for making bonsai. Taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in bonsai exhibitions across the country, he squeezes out time to visit local gardens and scenic spots. Once he sees old and famous trees, he often stares at them for a long time and refuses to leave. Every year, we set aside time to go to the mountains of Zhejiang and Anhui provinces to go into nature to observe the growth law of plants and how to introduce the shape and growth momentum of natural trees into bonsai. Therefore, the bonsai made by Zhang Zailiang has the heroic style and handsome temperament of the big and old trees in nature, and has become the descendant of the Su School of bonsai. He has repeatedly won the praise of Mr. Zhu Zi'an and praised Zhang Zeliang many times: "he is my true apprentice." Zhang Zailiang (right) Zhu Zian (left), a famous bonsai master and leading figure of the Soviet School, inherits the tradition, pioneering and innovating the style of bonsai art originated in China, is a traditional Chinese art treasure. Bonsai art is a plastic art that integrates garden cultivation, literature, painting and other arts. it is the epitome of natural scenery, with simple natural beauty and elegant artistic beauty, and is known as "three-dimensional painting" and "silent poetry". It is not only loved by the broad masses of domestic people, but also enjoys a high reputation in the forest of art in the world. Bonsai art has been handed down from generation to generation. Due to the influence of historical evolution, geographical environment and natural conditions, the main bonsai schools have been formed, such as Su School, Yang School, Sichuan School, Lingnan School and Shanghai School. The bonsai produced by Zhang Zailiang belongs to the Su style, which is characterized by "learning from nature", thick tie and fine cut, elegant and elegant, which has the greatest impact on the formation of other schools. Common varieties are mainly triangular maple, pomegranate, five-needle pine, elm and so on, the most classic artistic style is "six sets, three tortoises, one knot top", a total of 10 pieces, also known as "perfect". In nature, due to the gravity of the earth, when trees grow to a certain height, they can no longer grow taller. The original spire grows year by year into a pot-shaped, flat-shaped crown, with branches stretching around to form "supports" and "platforms" scattered between high and low. The most valuable thing about Zhang Zailiang's award-winning works is that on the basis of understanding and inheriting the traditional style and theoretical essentials of Su-style bonsai, he can creatively break through the structural form of "six sets, three supports and one knot" and pursue the natural beauty and artistic conception beauty of the tree. Zhang Zailiang believes that the structural form of "six sets, three supports and one knot" is an ideal bonsai art. However, the perfect ideal structure of trees growing in nature is rare. And the big trees and ancient trees we see are in a variety of forms, such as majestic, adventurous, handsome, and so on, so bonsai art must not stick to one style in "learning from nature" and dare to create its own unique style. He has a pot of triangular maple collected from Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province. the original tree is about 1.6 meters high. when it is dug, most of the trunk is dry, and only a small half of it survives. The tree is more than a thousand years old. It is such a surviving triangular maple stump that, after careful pruning and care by Zhang Zailiang, unexpectedly took root and survived, sprouting new branches on the bark and spitting out attractive tender green leaves. A few years later, a basin of green and simple, Qiuqu Xiongqi, wild large bonsai, standing in the "Cuizhuang", the tree is covered with traces of wind, rain, cold and summer tempering, so that the guests are amazed. Some units wanted to buy it with a heavy sum of 100000 yuan, which was politely refused by Zhang Zailiang. His award-winning bonsai "Dragon Dance Caiyun" (Rabo), some customers are willing to "shoot special" car in exchange, Zhang Zailiang also politely refused. Striving for excellence and winning awards for fine works, Zhang Zailiang has been delving into the bonsai art for more than 40 years, and the bonsai production technology is excellent. He has more than 1000 potted flower bonsai of more than 60 varieties, such as black pine, sparrow plum and rhododendron. He believes that a bonsai is the ugliest and can be beautiful after several years of revision, because bonsai shows an indomitable spirit of life and vitality. Because nature is popular with people all over the world, the bonsai art of imitating nature knows no national boundaries. He often said to his disciples: to make bonsai, you must have perseverance. You can't fish for two days and dry the net for three days. We should be weak in fame and wealth and dare to innovate. Because Zhang Zailiang is open-minded and studious and strives for refinement in art, he is becoming more and more famous in Chinese bonsai circles. In the national bonsai exhibitions held over the years, Zhang Zailiang's bonsai exhibitions have won many prizes: Zhang Zailiang's award-winning works were selected in February 1989. Zhang Zailiang was awarded a member of China Bonsai artists Association. In October 1989, Zhang Zailiang participated in the second China Flower Expo and the first China International Bonsai Exhibition Competition held at the Beijing Agricultural Exhibition Hall for the first time. On the train to Beijing, Zhang Zeliang put bonsai on the berth during the day and next to the pillow at night in order not to damage the branches and leaves of Finch Plum. However, when he carefully carried the bonsai to the agricultural exhibition hall, the preliminary evaluation had been announced. After Zhang Zailiang left the bonsai in the organizing committee, he went to the room to have a rest. Unexpectedly, the judges said to Zhang Zailiang the next day that your pot of Finch Plum bonsai has a unique shape and has been praised by the experts present. Unfortunately, you are late and can only award this pot of Finch Plum as an "excellent work Award" as an exception.
