Curved-trunk bonsai

This song is worth living for, not only for the smoothness of the composition, but also for its tenacious spirit. The trunk materials of the mountain and the land are very natural and precious, but there are also inconspicuous lines.

The stem material is artificially cultivated, the main trunk is slightly cultivated, and the roots on the other side form weak roots, half exposed to the ground, with the directions of the backbone roots and the tail unobstructed and harmonious. The dry bonsai is the framework and the most important part on the earth's surface. The above-ground part of the backbone can be truncated, so that the main trunk can choose another development deviation, and can also be used to prepare a cut-back bonsai.

The framework of the curved-trunk bonsai tree begins to rotate from the roots toward the top, and even the branches are twisted, with the ring intersections of the framework having shape. When outside, you can choose a rectangular pot, round pot, oval pot, etc. According to the shape of the pot, it is placed in the middle of the pot or at 2/3 of the pot. Each side of the winding corridor has side branches, and the outer shape is a flower. The lower side branches must extend to the top and hang down, but each side branch must wind around the framework and have natural variation.

The main tree species for dry bonsai include holly, firethorn, five-needle pine, etc. Among the external forms of curved-trunk bonsai there are the following situations.

(1) The "S"-shaped curved-trunk external form appears as Bi Han in the stump view. The whole stump shape is like Taiji, with soft needles, charming and attractive. As shown in Figure 2, it shows a dry Elaeagnus Elaeagnus bonsai.

(2) The "shape" shape of other types of dry bodies is hard, straight and rigid, with the left half swinging and the half-drooping branch approaching the water outside, danger must return to peace, revealing claw roots like an iron anchor holding it dry. In this situation, it is a very good dancer.

(3) The "5"-shaped dry face has a unique appearance. Set up a cliff, lying on a dry trunk. The dry body is "5"-shaped with hard corners standing upright, extremely masculine, with a soft curved snake at the top, and L also has feminine beauty; the probing branch drifts left in a cliff situation, with the top knot as the main feature. The claw roots are firm, the whole stump is rigid, and the appearance is lively and vivid.

(4) The dry body and other types of dry bodies have a resistant "3" shape, with rigidity and softness exchanging, and no difference between the top branch and the inclined vertical body. The high trailing branch makes the appearance fly and run to the moon, which is a rare normal pattern.

(5) The dry body is a double-trunk "S"-shaped curved-trunk external form, the dry body curls and twists, like a dancing dragon, with branches resembling dragon claws, full of vitality. The simple and powerful dry body saves effort, like drawing a bow. This type of curved-trunk stump is an upper-grade and superior stump material, which is very precious.

(6) The dry body is a great curve of the great year. There is no difference between the top branch of the knot and the dry trend, and no difference in the combination of potential and rhythm. This is the result of fully utilizing the characteristics of the original stump.

(7) The trunk of the torso is "S"-shaped and "zigzag-shaped". This kind of stump is rarely seen on pines and cypresses. The twisting and distortion of the dry body is as strong as a keel. The left side of the right trailing branch makes the crown complete and well adjusted. This is a very mature appearance.

The types of curved trunks are only a few rare patterns. It is precisely because of art that we can create completely different works.
