How do you design and create a stump bonsai after it arrives home? Let me teach you the method of reading its momentum

In a good design for a tree, complexity is not the key; fluency is the focus. Every stump has its own place of momentum. Grasp the momentum and follow it, and it is simple and effortless to make, and pleasing and smooth to look at. A tree that goes against its momentum looks very stifling and awkward - the word "awkward" describes going against the momentum. Once you go against the momentum, the flow of energy is no longer smooth and becomes blocked and obstructed

What is momentum? It is the internal and external form of all activities, and it is shown more in living things. All kinds of internal and external activities are themselves in motion. The comprehensive internal expression of a plant's various activities is the tree's "momentum"

For example, if a tree has long branches on the right and no branches on the right, then something on the left must be blocking it - a cliff or a high courtyard wall; if one side has long branches and the other side is missing some branches, then that part has suffered pest or disease damage or physical damage such as weather or human activity; if one side has long branches and the other side has short branches, then the long-branch side must have better conditions for development, such as light, such as more active wind on this side, such as better humidity on the long-branch side, such as broader space for growth on the long-branch side - various reasons, but there must be a reason. In this way, without any unnatural state, "momentum" is naturally formed

Look, the momentum of this stump is very clear. First there are various rises, then it is forcibly lowered. Being forced is a kind of coercion. What happens when coerced? It fills up with anger, and when the anger is full it must be released. That rightward straight-running vein is exactly that. It is releasing happily - how has it been pulled back again? This involves "defiance", and defiance will not be elaborated on here
