The naming of bonsai

The naming of bonsai is also an excuse that we are often proud of and is often used to belittle others, thinking that there is a lack of artistic conception without naming, and so on. Is this really the case? Laozi said: "Tao can be Tao, very Tao; name can be name, very name." It can be seen why not without a name? Nameless is omnipotent, as you can imagine: the scene turns at will, meaning is born from the heart. While famous, sometimes restricted, that is, the name does not live up to its name. Therefore, bonsai works, occasionally unknown, may have the effect of nameless.

I think we name bonsai, in terms of wording, we use those overly exaggerated, brilliant and metaphysical words rather than popular, down-to-earth and appropriate terms. Just like writing a poem, it needs to be the finishing touch, and so is bonsai. With a good title, the theme of bonsai emerges. Name the bonsai, the author in the production practice, get the following three points of experience.

Use famous sentences and characters to name:

This kind of naming method is relatively simple, and the key lies in its appropriateness. If you use Li Bai's poem "one leaf boat has sailed through ten thousand mountains", then the landscape bonsai produced must have continuous mountains and running rivers, and there must be boats on the river, highlighting the image of distant landscapes and boat flights. With the famous phrase "the Pentium Yellow River comes from the clouds", the bonsai pattern has the image of the distant mountain Baik Woo-Hwa Yellow River. If you use the "Spring in Xitou Shepherd's purse Flower" in Song ci Xin Qiji's Fu on behalf of the people, the bonsai would have to be a mountain stream, with white shepherd's purse flowers surrounded by several green leaves, and even goose-yellow wicker on the side of the stream. There are also many bonsai named after characters, such as the bonsai of "fishing alone in the cold on the river". The above characters can see the image of Jiang Taigong, so it is more accurate and vivid to change to "Jiang Taigong fishing". "du Fu Xing Yin", "Zhaojun out of the Sai", "Mi Jun worship Stone" and so on, are all named after the characters, with far-reaching artistic conception, fresh and elegant style, and often more advanced than their own names.

Named after the image of a natural scene:

Bonsai is originally a microcosm of the natural landscape, so its naming must be based on the characteristics of the landscape and be crowned with the names that can best reflect the gods of the landscape, such as "Goddess Peak", "traveling thousands of miles along the Yangtze River" and "meandering the Great Wall". Belong to the distant village near the wild, pastoral scenery, although not the verve of mountains and rivers, but there are exquisite small scenery, interesting rural feelings, such bonsai, the name should be more novel, "small bridge and flowing water family", "frog sound", "a little red in the green", "Gusang Xinzi", "peasant red house in the misty rain" and so on, are named after the natural landscape, most of them blend, far-reaching and intriguing. The image of the combination of natural landscape and animals and plants is also the highlight of bonsai naming, such as "Taishan welcoming pine", "Songshan ancient cypress", "ancient temple Tang Huai" and so on. This kind of bonsai title is more popular and has a large number in the bonsai garden. the disadvantage is that it doesn't feel novel and chic enough. There are also many names for the combination of natural landscape and animals, such as "Bamboo Forest three bears" (Panda), "Birds singing in empty Mountain", "Golden Fish Drama Longquan", "Qishan Flying Fox" and so on. Bonsai named after the natural landscape, the emergence of creative names, is not so easy, must be carefully watched, research, the birth of interesting inspiration, in order to get the artistic bonsai name.

Named according to bonsai shape and image:

The shape of bonsai is an important basis for its name. Bonsai makers have a "shape" in mind when making bonsai, so they come up with a name immediately after they get rid of it. However, some people ignore this matter and have to ask someone to name it later. Literate and knowledgeable people who can write poems and paintings will generally come up with elegant names after careful observation. Bonsai beautiful names, such as "Chang'e rushing to the Moon", "Peacock Flying Southeast", "Magpie climbing branches", "going to the East of the Yangtze River", "Carp jumping Longmen", "Dog and Cat making Spring", "Tiger squatting Cliff Rock", "Bamboo Shadow: rain and dew Fengqing" (four pots), "Yuncui Fruit Red" and so on, these bonsai names belong to the popular category, if they are required to be more implicit and deeper, then they will be named as bonsai images. It is not to connect the name with the scene at a glance, but to think about something yearning after watching it. For example, the pattern of the bonsai is an old tree. On the tree tumor in the tree branches lies a cicada named "Autumn Sound". Viewers do not hear the sound of Autumn. When people see this scene, when they think of "being silent as cold cicadas", they think of autumn. Another example is the bonsai of "Moon Bamboo Forest". There is only a glimmer of silver between a clump of bamboo, and the moon can't be seen at all, which may make people figure out that the moon is on the other side of the jungle, with oblique light, which is much better than the moon on the top of the jungle. This is the name of the bonsai, far away from the real shape of the scene, but Yi and the scene are closely linked, after some thinking, can be pleasantly surprised to crack, such a bonsai name is really high-grade.
