Stone-planted bonsai is the unity of natural beauty and artistic beauty

  Stone-planted bonsai combines the appreciation of trees and the appreciation of stones in one. The graceful posture of the tree draws on the various vivid forms of the rock, and the two merge into one to produce a sense of beauty, which is the unity of natural beauty and artistic beauty.

  This kind of beauty is the beauty of human ideals; it is a highly artistic beauty with cultural connotations, produced from natural objects (trees and stones) through human thought.

  Stone-planted bonsai can truly present typical scenes from nature such as “dream pen produces flowers” and “a green pine on the summit of Mount Tai”, and can also create beautiful scenes that do not exist in nature.

  Through appropriate cultivation techniques, the tree's root system and tree form and branch spread are assessed, and a matching stone is selected for processing; the abstract beauty thus produced is called a living sculpture by people.
