Habitat, Painting and Artistic Conception of Chinese Bonsai

The creative process of Chinese bonsai is as follows: first, create the "habitat" of natural beauty and life beauty; then further improve the artistic processing to rise to the "painting realm" of artistic beauty; finally, reach the "artistic conception" of ideal beauty through touching the scene; enter the most wonderful part of the three realms that permeate each other and blend with each other. So what is the meaning of "habitat" and "painting scene"? "artistic Conception" bonsai creators all know, I am here to talk about their own understanding.

(1) Habitat: in order to create a bonsai "living environment" full of natural beauty, bonsai can learn from the extraordinary principle of landscaping put forward by Cao Xueqin in the Grand View Garden of A Dream of Red Mansions in the Qing Dynasty. It is all the more necessary to understand and apply what Jicheng said in Yuanye in the Ming Dynasty, "although it is made by man, it is like opening from heaven", "it becomes a natural interest and does not bother the attack of personnel". It is designed to take "natural beauty" as the source and premise of landscaping. I think these classic theories are the rules that we bonsai creation should first understand and apply flexibly. Also: Nanliang Wang's poem "cicada noisy forest surpasses quiet talent, bird singing mountain is more quiet", "refreshing borrow the breeze and bright moon, watch the flowing water and watch the mountain"; Ouyang Xiu's poem "Qingfeng Mingyue is priceless, close to the water and distant mountains have feelings"; bonsai is a miniature landscape, the creation is to reflect the picture of life, is the concentration of life scene. A bonsai can create tasteful bonsai works only if it treats life with full enthusiasm, retains beautiful fragments of life, and has a high reserve for bonsai creation, and has rich and colorful "habitat" expression materials. It can be said that the "habitat" material of landscape flowers and birds is the source of bonsai art creation.

(2) painting: bonsai is a three-dimensional painting and a silent poem. The creation of Chinese bonsai should conform to the basic principles of painting theory. There is a famous poem, "take a piece of mud, mold you, pinch me; then break him and be with me; reshape you, pinch me again, there is you among me, there is me among you. The "habitat" and "painting scene" in the process of bonsai creation are also so interpenetrating.

The context of painting is "ComPosition" in the language of western art theory, translated as "composition" in painting, "composition" in music, and "layout" in landscape making. Our Chinese painting theory is broad and profound, which is the unique theoretical basis of our variety creators.

We should cultivate solid painting quality and master painting techniques. As we all know: the bonsai works of Zhao Qingquan, a master of Chinese bonsai art, are naturally fresh and fresh, and his techniques of mountain painting and Chinese poetry have reached the stage of mastery and familiarity with Chinese poetry. Chinese bonsai master he hogsun has a very high taste in bonsai. He is a professor of the Academy of Fine Arts. Let's take a look at the director of Bonsai China Forum: Lu Yongqiang's grasp and expression of bonsai, he has very profound basic skills in painting. His bonsai designs and bonsai works have obviously reached a very high level. Therefore, bonsai creators must study more aesthetic theories and constantly accumulate aesthetic literacy, especially the mastery of Chinese landscape painting techniques. This is very important for us to create high-grade bonsai.

When we create bonsai, we must flexibly apply the techniques of Chinese landscape painting to accurately meet the requirements of "painting scene". Do a good job of trade-offs, generalizations and other layout links. Is our bonsai performance elements flow infiltration, reflect each other, grasp the start, inheritance, transfer, combination, to create a full flavor, high-grade bonsai works.

(3) artistic conception: Chinese bonsai comes from natural and higher than natural works of art, works to express a feeling, express a will, pour out an ideal. What is expressed in our bonsai works: the feeling of beauty, the reward of beauty, the character of beauty, and the society of beauty. Is the artistic conception of bonsai. The plants, rocks, accessories, titles and the environment in which we create landforms in bonsai are all for the expression of bonsai artistic conception.

The artistic conception of bonsai is the center of everyone's emphasis and expression. Everyone's understanding and application of this is much deeper than mine. I won't play tricks here.

In a word, in the process of bonsai creation: "Life Conception", "painting Conception" and "artistic Conception" are three closely linked and inseparable links in the artistic realm of Chinese bonsai. As long as we grasp and apply these three links well. Our bonsai will certainly become more and more beautiful!
