The Beauty of Bonsai Art

China is the poetry kingdom of the world. Poets of all ages have a special fondness for flowers and trees. With condensed language and vivid words, they vividly summarize the spiritual character and amorous feelings of landscape flowers and trees, as well as the art of chanting bonsai.

"there are three autumn colors of smoke and green, and the waves are immortal. Cut it into clear jade slices and cut off Biyungen. The wind passes through the cave, and the moss grain protects the cave door. Sanfeng is specifically small, so it should be Huashan Sun. " This is a praise from the heart after Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, enjoyed the bonsai. "Komatsu is not yet full, and his beloved hand moves himself. Cang ran Jian background color, wet clouds and smoke. Plant me late in the year and grow into a monarch. How to plant such a few inches of branches over forty. Can you see Cheng Yin? Life is 70 years old. " This poem is Bai Juyi self-planted pine bonsai for decades, pine bonsai into a forest, verdant and abrupt, full of strong vitality.

Many poets and painters in the Song Dynasty, such as Su Dongpo and Lu you, not only made bonsai in person, but also often touched the scene and became full of poetry, chanting the bonsai in painting, leaving many famous sentences: "I return with this stone, and there is the East China Sea in my sleeve." In the pot scion, the sun is opposite to the mountain and sea. " (Su Dongpo "taking marbles and nourishing stones") "Yanshan calamus Kunshan stone, old people hold it to comfort the silence. Cungen frowned nine feet thin, a fist abrupt daughter straight. Clear springs and hills play, and eminent monks and savages move their colors. The fragrant sun is in the eye, and as soon as this thing comes, it will all be swept away. The better the root and leaf Mao, the better, I have always hated each other early, so I am also full of wind and frost, nourishing qi Tiangong declining manuscripts. " (Lu you "calamus"). These poems not only express the artistic technique of "seeing the big in the small", but also give a detailed description and praise of the landscape bonsai.

The Yuan Dynasty stressed that the bonsai "see the big in the small", but also required the interest of painting into the basin. Xie Zongke's poem "Pan Mei": "the lingering spring trips the blue split moss, the year Yan Hanxiang Wan turns; the Jiao sting frozen cloud ice bone is thin." The dragon sleeps at night and the moon is full of scales. Wind and frost momentum from a thousand fold, stone heart also nine times; only for Dongjun willing to surrender, do not teach in vain Baihuakui. "

In the Qing Dynasty, bonsai was not only popular among the people, but also had a place in the court. In Yong Imperial Bonsai Pomegranate, Kangxi wrote: "the branches of the young trees are a little red, but there is a mixed lotus wind in June; the coral blossoms in the green leaves of  are suspected to be moving silver and gold." Set off the coral in the basin, the delicate and beautiful pomegranate flowers are very vivid.

With the same use of the word "Xiaozhongshan" to describe bonsai, there are similarities and differences. Li Fu in the word "Xiaozhongshan": "Red frame square porcelain flower edge, green pine is half a foot, several plants save, break cloud root to take stone such as fist." On the sunken mud, decorate Guo Xishan, move close to the small appendix pole, cut the moss to spread the vertigo, protect the frost cold, the lotus tube spray rain Ming Fei spring, add fragrance, borrow jade stove smoke. " Gong Xiang also wrote in his "Little heavy Mountain": "three feet of Xuanzhou white narrow basin, Wu people do not put, species Lansun, Hairpin pine fist stone folded into a village, tea smoke, muddy like cold clouds dizzy, gully looking at the existence, still stream twists and turns, protection firewood door, autumn frost long for Xian moss marks, Dan Qing old man, see also will die." The two poems "Little heavy Mountain" depict the image and landscape of bonsai incisively and vividly, giving people a feeling of touching the scene and imagining.

Mr. Zhou Lianjuan, a famous modern writer and master of horticulture, not only wrote well, but also took care of the flowers and plants in the poetic bonsai cluster. He once wrote a poem about scenery and ambition: "if you don't do anything, you don't humiliate yourself." keep your innocence at ease. Willing to be a flower slave for many years, I will be busy for the plum blossom first. "
