Can traditional landscaping become the mainstream of Chinese aquascaping?

For a long time, we have focused on foreign aquascaping while overlooking traditional landscaping. Penjing is one of our Han Chinese traditional landscaping arts, using rocks as the basic material to express natural scenery as an artwork within a pot.

It uses plants, rocks, soil, water and other materials, and through artistic creation and plant cultivation, it typically and intensively shapes the beautiful scenery of nature in a pot, achieving the artistic effect of seeing the grand within the small. It is both a three-dimensional painting and a silent poem.

Compared with aquascaping in planted tanks, the Chinese style restores nature in greater depth. It integrates garden cultivation, literature, painting and other arts into a comprehensive formative art, and it does not require spending a lot of time on maintenance and trimming, so it is very popular among Chinese people.

Presentation of the hardscape: Chinese-style aquascaping is mainly reflected in the hardscape. Like this, even without plants, it can still effectively restore nature and highlight a sense of layering.
