Pine bonsai was praised by the ancients as the foremost of all trees, enduring through a thousand years with noble integrity.

The pine is the foremost of all trees. With many joints and long life, bark as rough as dragon scales, leaves as fine as horse mane, it does not wither in frost and snow, nor perish through a thousand years; its noble integrity is worthy of praise.

The mottled branches and trunk are like an old grandfather's face full of wrinkles, with rough skin.

The pine's branches and trunk are thick and curved, ancient and majestic, with layers upon layers of foliage, very beautiful.

With such a shape, look at the branches and trunk - it seems like a person kneeling, facing the lake, in a posture of bending down to drink water.
