Lushan in Henan is a place of outstanding natural beauty and is an important birthplace of Qixi culture. One of China's four great folk love stories, renowned throughout the world, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl originated here and has been passed down here. Through thousands of years, it has been recited without end. This is a classic of Chinese folk culture. The Henan Provincial Bonsai Association, grounded in Belt and Road cultural exchange, collaborated with the Lushan County Bonsai Association to hold the Southwest Henan Bonsai, Ornamental Stone and Root Art Exhibition during "Our Festival_2018 China Lushan Qixi Festival," adding a rich atmosphere of bonsai culture and art to the festive Lushan.
