Bonsai is unique in China and has a long history. It mainly uses various flowerpots with different shades and unique shapes to plant artistically processed plant materials or imitate the landscape of nature to make artistic ornamental products composed of pots and stones. Due to the different shapes and styles of different places in China, many schools have been formed, such as Lingnan School, Suzhou School and Sichuan School.

Bonsai is the epitome of nature. Imitating the charm of nature, Xiushan Lishui, in the square basin, presents the transformation of nature and the four seasons landscape of trees, which is impressive. Scholars of all ages like to decorate their lives with bonsai, which is Zhi Tao's feeling. China bonsai has a long history. It originated in the Six Dynasties, the early Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After liberation, especially since the reform and opening up, bonsai flower industry has entered a new period of prosperity. There have been many bonsai exhibitions in our city, and the grade is higher every time, which makes tourists feast their eyes on it. It is no better to experience it personally than nature. Modern life makes more people eager to get close to nature. Putting a bonsai at home is both quaint and full of vitality.

Bonsai can be divided into stump bonsai and landscape bonsai according to the different materials and production. Stump bonsai, referred to as "stump landscape", generally refers to the bonsai of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of ornamental plants and their colors and charm. Generally, plants with graceful posture, short leaves, long life, strong resistance and easy modeling are selected. According to their ecological characteristics and artistic requirements, they are carefully cultivated through pruning, pruning, hanging or grafting, and their growth and development are controlled for a long time to form a unique artistic modeling. Some of them. Some branches and leaves are sparse and the stripes are oblique; Some are slim, tall and straight. The types of pile landscape are straight stem type, curved type, horizontal branch type, cliff type, vertical branch type, root lifting type, jungle type, planting type and so on. Different techniques are used, and the modeling characteristics and artistic styles are also different. In Guangzhou and the local area, Murraya murraya, Fujian tea, Bromus, Ficus, Ulmus pumila and Snow are commonly used as pile landscape materials for pruning and shaping, which is natural and smooth. Its technique is called "Lingnan Bonsai". In Yangzhou area, boxwood, juniper, five-needle pine, cedar and elm have been artificially cut and tied, with three branches and three bends, and the layers are distinct, which is called "Soviet-style bonsai". Sichuan's golden marbles, gingko, crape myrtle, red fruit and other plants are simple and elegant, and are called "Sichuan bonsai". Guangxi's "cloud basin stump" and other wild interests are unique.

Landscape bonsai, also known as waterstone bonsai, is a beautiful natural landscape carved, corroded and spliced by rocks, decorated with pavilions, pontoons, small trees and moss in elegant shallow pots. One kind of rock material is hard rock which is hard in texture, does not absorb water and is not easy to grow moss, such as Shi Ying, Taihu Stone, Stalactite, Axe Stone, Wood Fossil and Jiulongbi Stone. The other is soft stone with loose texture, easy water absorption and moss growth, such as chicken bone stone, reed pipe stone, pumice stone and sand stone. The shapes of landscape bonsai are solitary peaks, overlapping and dense. Different rock materials, textures, shapes and colors have different artistic techniques and technical methods. Therefore, the theme and style of its performance are different. The stalactite bonsai shows the beauty of Xiuyan secluded cave and Guilin landscape, and the sandstone bonsai reproduces the magnificent wonders of "Emei is beautiful on earth" and "Three Gorges is in danger on earth". Landscape bonsai, small and exquisite, far-reaching artistic conception.

The bonsai art uses the artistic techniques of "shrinking the dragon into an inch" and "seeing the big from the small", giving people an artistic infection of "one peak is too beautiful to be sought after, and one spoon is Wan Li in the Jianghu", which is the epitome of natural scenery. Originated from nature, higher than nature, in line with the principles of nature. Cleverly grasp the masterpiece of nature. Bonsai art wins with poetry and painting. People regard bonsai as "silent poem", "three-dimensional painting" and "living artistic sculpture". If we cultivate and make one or two pots of stump bonsai or landscape bonsai after work, it will bring endless fun to your life.

On the artistic conception of bonsai

"Poetry and painting are beautiful, and they are wonderful." Poetry and painting are condensed in the beautiful scenery of small bonsai, which is more beautiful and elegant than the objective scenery of nature. It is really ingenious and a compliment to the beauty of bonsai. Where is the beauty? The only expression refers to the depth of artistic conception. Where does the artistic conception of bonsai come from? The artistic conception of bonsai comes from the perceptual world of rich and beautiful scenery of nature. Through artistic processing, we can transcend and surpass nature and sublimate to a higher and more beautiful spiritual realm than nature. This is the beauty of artistic conception and the center of aesthetics. Whether it is landscape bonsai, stump bonsai, flood and drought bonsai, miniature bonsai, we must pursue artistic conception in order to "eat among thousands of beautiful pots and watch the ancient hills and valleys." For example, Mr. Zhou Shoujuan, a famous writer and gardener, cultivated nature and pursued poetry and painting in his bonsai, which fully demonstrated his artistry. He often draws lessons from the famous paintings of the ancients and neighbors and takes their artistic conception. There are Tang Yin's Banana Stone Map, Shen's Crane Listening to the Qin, Xia's Bamboo Fun Map, Zhang Daqian's Gao Shi Map and Qi Baishi's. For example, Tang Yin's "Stone Burning Map" bonsai, with two small plantains planted side by side, has a shallow basin of boxing stones. The scenery is simple and rich in meaning, giving people a cool and quiet environment. Another example is Shen's "Crane Listening to the Qin" bonsai. Under the ancient wood, an old man is playing the piano, with a small crane and some stones beside him. "This reminds people of the poet Lin Heqing's" Plum Wife Crane ",or perhaps the fiddler is playing plum blossom tricks. The production of these bonsai, with plants as the main materials, with stones, figures, pavilions and other sketches, is ingenious and poetic, which can fully reflect the beauty of artistic conception. Artistic conception is the harmonious unity of subjective factors such as feeling, cognition and image with objective nature; It is the expression of bonsai art and the artistic conception and artistic processing of bonsai creators. It is not a subjective "creation", but the result of the bonding of feelings and scenery. It is also the most important process to create artistic conception. As far as stump bonsai is concerned, it is based on natural form and combines objective nature with subjective image. Such as single-plant style, jungle style, hanging rock style, stone-attached style, etc., are all creative artistic conception of "sticking feelings with scenery" For example, in a Jiangsu Pot Exhibition in 1992, I saw a potted landscape in Nanjing, which was dominated by stacked stones, and the mountains were matched with dense young trees in a proper proportion. It is magnificent to reproduce the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland in a small basin. There is a feeling that "the tiger is better than the dragon, turned upside down and generous". At the 6th Jiangsu Pot Exhibition, I saw a potted broom stump bonsai with old stems and branches. The trunk is old-fashioned, lying in a pot with lush foliage, full of green. The scene is called "Jing Fiona Fang is no longer martial." "Jing" and "Wu" are named after the owner and the couple respectively. The owner devoted his life to the pursuit of bonsai. After retirement, they concentrate on bonsai art and stop fighting for trifles to entertain their old age, which means expressing their wishes and being quite artistic. The branch handling of stump bonsai is also very particular. Jiangsu bonsai is mainly based on the combination of cutting and binding, mainly in the form of clouds. The origin of the cloud has a long history, mainly Yang school. In the process of development, the school is colorful and has its own characteristics. In order to pursue the spiritual enjoyment of beauty, they have to pursue the artistic conception of high style. In terms of technical requirements, the shape of the cloud piece, according to Yang Pai's statement, requires stability and neatness, and the technique of "one inch and three bends" is strict. In this regard, Zhu, a master of bonsai in Nantong, Wan Guantang, a late master of bonsai in Yangzhou, and Wang Shoushan, a late master of bonsai in Taizhou, all have high artistic conception, which is by no means a day's work and cannot but make people sigh. However, some people think that cloud modeling seems too monotonous. In my personal opinion, the reason why cloud modeling has a long history and strong vitality is just like the tradition of "Four Heavenly Kings" in China's landscape paintings. The shape of clouds is also in line with the natural charm, such as the distribution of clouds, which are scattered, obvious and hidden, and the shape of clouds is flat and hanging, biased and free, with mountains and rivers and trees as the background. This is not to deny the characteristics of other schools of bonsai. The schools of bonsai in China are colorful and inclusive. For example, the Lingnan stump bonsai is modeled by the method of keeping branches and branches, pursuing artistic conception, which is very natural, taking natural ancient trees as the reference and is the epitome of nature. In recent years, in addition to the traditional style, the bonsai art in Suzhou is more innovative, making bonsai in an abstract way, giving people a reverie. For example, in the treatment of the Chinese opera bonsai "The Peony Pavilion", only two ancient trees are planted next to a grass pavilion (Peony Pavilion), and with a little stone, a desolate realm of a big garden can be presented, from the spring injury in Du Liniang to the dream tryst, and the feelings can be turned into scenes. It can really be said that "seeing the wind and moon assassination, leaning against the broken wall and low piles" shows the interest of reality and reality in the dreamland. In short, the production of bonsai should not only have full artistic accomplishment, thinking, skills and other comprehensive abilities, but also have ingenious techniques. Only when you can enter the painting can you have artistic conception and be the top grade. On the Art of Flower Arrangement

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, many cities have a wide variety of flowers for people to choose from all year round to meet the needs of families and units for various celebrations, welcome guests, weddings and home decoration.

Flower arrangement refers to inserting flowers, including branches, leaves, flowers and fruits, into vases, flower trays, flowerpots and other containers without soil cultivation, which brings a kind of interest and warmth to the family, makes people cultivate their self-cultivation, purify their hearts and cultivate their sentiments after watching. There are similarities between flower arrangement and bonsai, but they also have their own unique side. Mainly manifested in rootless and soilless flowers, the water and nutrients absorbed in the bottle are limited, and the flowering period is more than ten days, half a month, and at least one or two days. Therefore, it is required to master the flowering period according to different seasons in order to appreciate and taste the beauty of flower arrangement art on time.

It is not difficult to learn flower arrangement, but it is not easy to learn it well. Beginners should master the selection, treatment, modeling and collocation of flower materials. Starting from easy learning, they might as well find some colorful pictures of flower arrangement for reference. At the same time, we should also learn some knowledge about flowers, painting and literature to improve and enrich our artistic accomplishment. On the basis of skilled skills, go deep into life, and then learn the difficult art of flower arrangement.

The types of flower arrangement can be chosen according to your own hobbies. 1. Flower arrangement is natural and beautiful, colorful, fresh and true, suitable for family living room, bedroom, study, etc. Its disadvantage is short maintenance time. 2. Dry flower arrangement, the selected flower materials are dehydrated natural plant materials, which can not only lose the natural beauty of flower shape, but also modify and dye, which is durable and convenient to manage. Its disadvantage is that it is afraid of wet environment. 3. Artificial flower arrangement, that is, various silk flower, nylon, crystal and plastic flowers. , strong simulation, many varieties and complete, can be used for a long time, but also cleaning and dust removal. The disadvantage is the poor sense of reality of vitality.

On the Charm of Flower Arrangement Art

The origin of flower arrangement art should be attributed to people's love for flowers. By freezing flowers, we can express an artistic conception to experience the truth and glory of life.

China had the original idea and embryonic form of flower arrangement nearly 2000 years ago. Flower arrangement was very popular in the Tang Dynasty and also in the court. In temples, it is used as a flower in front of the Buddha statue in the altar. During the Song Dynasty, the art of flower arrangement gained popularity among the people and was loved by literati. There are many poems about flower arrangement and flower appreciation in various dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the art of flower arrangement in China was not only widely popularized, but also monographs on flower arrangement appeared, such as Orchard Flower Spectrum by Zhang Qiande and History of Bottles by Yuan Hongdao. Chinese flower arrangement art reached its peak in Ming Dynasty, which was quite mature and perfect both technically and theoretically. Stylistically, it emphasizes natural lyricism, elegant and simple expression, elegant Ming Xiu color and simple modeling. However, the art of flower arrangement in Qing dynasty has not been paid attention to, developed and popularized among the people. In modern China, due to many factors such as war, the art of flower arrangement basically disappeared among the people. Only in recent years, with the development of the national economy and the reform and opening up, people's living standards have gradually improved, and flowers have gradually returned to people's lives.

Our nation is famous for its elegance. It is our tradition to praise people with flowers, compare people with flowers, and endow flowers with personality charm. For example, "pine, bamboo and plum" are called "three friends of the old cold" and "plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum" are called "four gentlemen". China's flower arrangement advocates nature in style, beautiful and elegant, with implicit meaning; Pay attention to the integrity and variability of lines and composition in form, and pay attention to the beauty of lines and the naturalness of posture. Its composition layout is staggered, the pitch echoes, the density gathers and disperses, and the works are elegant and smooth. According to the natural form of plant growth, there are different forms of flower arrangement such as upright, inclined and drooping; The color is elegant and refined, simple and generous; In terms of creating artistic conception, flower arrangement shows a wide range of themes, giving the works profound meaning, intriguing and memorable. The art of flower arrangement is the best way for modern people living in concrete jungle to find their spiritual home and get close to nature.

The art of flower arrangement is the fusion of various art forms. The art of flower arrangement is solidified music. The aesthetic feeling of music is full of fluidity, and the melody of the notes is lingering or high, giving people unlimited imagination and association. The fluttering ribbons, oblique branches and leaves, elegant shapes and profound artistic conception in flower arrangement works make people seem to be listening to wonderful music. Painting expresses the theme through images and colors, and flower arrangement works also have this feature. Moreover, flower arrangement is more stereoscopic and ornamental than painting, and it is more convenient to make flower arrangement, more widely used and more operable. After the work is completed, it can still be modified and adjusted according to the author's idea to express the changing emotions and inner feelings. Poetry is a form of literary expression, expressing a strong inner emotion. The ever-changing artistic conception and infinite charm of poetry inspire people's rich imagination. Flower arrangement works also have this function, either creating artistic conception, or simulating the natural ecological beauty of plants, or exaggerating scenery or garden landscape, or abstracting events and people, leaving endless imagination space between similarity and dissimilarity. Sculpture is a fixed shape, or an intuitive or abstract expression of people's thinking inspiration sparks, flower arrangement is also similar to it, is a plastic arts. But flower arrangement is a vivid art, full of vitality, which is incomparable to sculpture. Therefore, the art of flower arrangement is inextricably linked with other arts.

Flower arrangement is characterized by its concise expression, extensive use of materials and diversified themes. For example, some clothes displayed in fashion shows can be transformed into daily clothes, while others are purely artistic exhibitions. But these pure artistic fashions can also lead the trend or broaden people's horizons and ideas, so they are also indispensable. Flower arrangement has similar properties. Flower arrangement can be divided into artistic flower arrangement and ritual flower arrangement. The former is ideological, difficult to do and plays a leading role in the trend. The latter is more popular. Non-professionals have no systematic theoretical and practical experience, but they can pick some flowers and prepare some commonly used materials. They can also create some flower arrangement works to decorate the room, beautify life and cultivate sentiment according to their own understanding and feelings. Therefore, flower arrangement also has a wide range of public characteristics, which is the social basis for the popularization and promotion of flower arrangement art, and also one of the foundations for the flower arrangement art to enter the market and form economies of scale.

The art of flower arrangement has the function of cultivating sentiment. Flower arrangement works are rich and colorful. In the process of production, the author devoted his thoughts and feelings, mostly using flowers as the main production materials. Although the preservation technology has developed to a considerable extent, the life span of flower arrangement works is still very short. Flowers are easy to wither, which makes people realize the shortness of life and the relentless passage of time in a deeper sense, thus giving birth to feelings of cherishing flowers and cherishing them more, and also inspiring and cultivating people's noble sentiments of cherishing life, loving life and being kind to nature and human living environment.
