The role of scattered stones in landscape bonsai

The position of the subject and object of the landscape bonsai is very important in the bonsai, and their charm, volume and situation are directly related to the artistic conception of the works. However, whether their function is outstanding or not is related to the use of scattered stone, which is usually neglected.

Scattered stone is a kind of scattered and unique foil placed in the blank space of landscape bonsai in the form of groups. it itself has the nature of "point" in the sense, and it is a kind of visual unit with spatial position. When people's line of sight is focused on it, it produces a sense of expansion in people's visual psychology, so it can occupy and divide the space.

The function of scattered stone is mainly shown in the following aspects:

1. As a foil to the host and guest of the bonsai.

The characteristic of bonsai is to see the big in the small, but no matter how big the bonsai is, the volume of its main and guest peaks is limited. In order to make people feel psychologically that "one peak is too Hua Chihiro", it is necessary to use some low and small foil to highlight the main peak and guest bees, so that it appears much larger than the actual existence, and increases its sense of volume. Scattered stones play an excellent role in this respect.

2. As the division of the blank space on the water surface of the mountain foot.

Bonsai is a three-dimensional shape, it can not be like landscape painting so that the mountain suspended in mid-air, below with clouds or some other omitted. The mountain stone in the basin must take root. When we set the rocks of the subject and object in the urn, the remaining blank space needs to be dealt with carefully. Bonsai jargon says, "the peak is easy to stand, but the foot is difficult to deal with" refers to this process. The manipulation of scattered stones is the treatment and division of the blank space on the water surface of the mountain foot. As mentioned earlier, scattered stones should have a sense of expansion and tension in people's visual psychology, so that they can play the role of occupying space in the blank space, so if the scattered stones are arranged properly, the water surface of the mountain foot can be divided reasonably. Rich in variety.

In landscape bonsai, especially in bonsai with an opening and closing pattern, it plays the role of "knot": we know that in bonsai, there are both host and guest mountains, and in bonsai with an opening and closing pattern, their direction is arranged. generally contains "rise, inheritance, turn, knot" four links, the so-called "layers of power" refers to the organic combination of these four links. And "knot" is the completion point of these four links. The scattered stone is precisely such a "node", which ends in a vivid picture and plays a final role in the development of the mountain situation.
