Never be poor for a lifetime

Plant Luohan pine

Become rich from generation to generation.

This is a proverb spread for many years in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian, Taiwan and other regions of China. It is said that Luohansong has been a Buddhist tree since ancient times, and it has the divine effect of chopping off evil spirits, blocking evil spirits and eliminating disasters. Some scenic temples are still home to the solemn and quiet thousand-year-old Luohan pine, which was planted by monks in the temple at that time to avoid evil and auspicious. Nowadays, it is generally believed that planting several Luohan pines in front of the house and behind the house can not only flourish the owner of the house, bring good health and good fortune to the family, but also imply wealth and fortune, and everything goes well. Therefore, Luo Hansong is recognized as the treasure of the town house.

It is precisely because Luo Han Song has so many auspicious and rich meanings in China, so Luo Han Song is also known as "thousand years of Luo Han Song, the root of happiness for thousands of generations."

Luo Hansong is elegant and upright, with a strong and vigorous momentum, coupled with the implication of "longevity" and "auspiciousness" in Chinese culture, owners who pursue high-grade courtyard beautification often like to plant one or two trees of Luo Han pine, adding a masterpiece to create their own "garden-style tale". Use humic acid soil when potting, do not use alkaline soil. Like loose, fertile and well-drained slightly acidic soil, not resistant to salinity and barren.

In the history of bonsai production of Sichuan School, Luo Hansong is often given the meaning of "wealth and longevity", so the production process is relatively complicated and the price of the finished product is very considerable.

"vigorous and straight, luxuriant and leafy, evergreen", Luohan pine has all the characteristics of pine trees, and it is easy to cultivate, not as difficult to feed as pine trees.

Because in the Sichuan style bonsai, Luo Han Song often stands for "longevity", so it makes sense to use Luo Han Song to make the word "longevity".

The word "Shou" made with Luo Hansong means longevity, and the price is also very high.

In addition to making the word "longevity", the curved trees unique to Sichuan school bonsai are simply "home-cooked" in the production of Luohan pine bonsai.
