The large tree form is a relatively common trunk style in bonsai, deeply loved by the general public for its majestic tree form, noble character, and vigorous, ancient-looking charm. The large tree form styling combines the characteristics of multiple styles; like the cascade style, it best represents the artist's skill level, and is full of challenge for bonsai beginners. The large tree form can also be divided into the natural large tree form and the short thick trunk large tree form; the former falls between the tall style and the short style. -- Excerpted from Zeng Xianye's "Exploration of 'Large Tree Form' Bonsai Styling"

Dominance is a kind of deterrence naturally emanating from within; dominance is a temperament that is either innate or accumulated through long experience and tempered through cultivation. Those who can forge dominance must themselves possess the aptitude for it. The same goes for trees -- just like these domineering tree stumps, besides having an innately good stump shape, they also rely on the bonsai artist's long-term polishing and transformation.

Powerful self-confidence and extraordinary strength can also give people a sense of dominance. Disposition (the boldness to pursue goals), plus one's own strength (special talent and tempering), together form incomparable dominance.
