In a small room in the bonsai garden, a dark-skinned old man was using a saw knife, a special tool for bonsai making. The old man's name is Chen Changchun. He used to be an employee of Xiapu County Garden Bureau. After retirement, he focused on bonsai art and was also one of the operators of bonsai garden.

Guo Xuhui and Lao Zheng told reporters that the first person to make Xiapu natural stone bonsai was Chen Changchun. Natural stone bonsai was discovered in 1994. "In the past, the embryo of going down the mountain usually didn't carry stones, because the peasants thought the stones were very heavy, so they knocked them off and threw them away." Chen Changchun said that by chance, he noticed that the tree trunk he bought was blocked by stones and grew wrapped in some stones. He felt that these stones "throw a pity, to keep", so he also took the stones into account in the overall shape, and made the history of the first natural attached stone bonsai.

"The original bonsai only had branches, but now the bonsai with stones is richer." Chen Changchun's initiative was praised by other members of Xiapu County Flower Bonsai Association, and everyone followed suit. Xiapu bonsai association also held a special Xiapu natural stone bonsai exhibition at a cross-strait flower fair, which was affirmed by bonsai masters. Later, farmers pick bonsai again "down the embryo", they no longer knock out attached to the stump of the stone.

After many years of exhibition and operation, as the only natural stone bonsai production area in China, Xiapu bonsai reputation spread like wildfire, merchants from all over the country came here, Xiapu bonsai gradually embarked on the road of industrialization. Last year, Xiapu Bonsai Garden, which has 43 operators, had an annual output value of more than 30 million yuan.
