Nearly a thousand bonsai works exhibited at the Taizhou Yang-style Bonsai Exhibition Hall

  During the National Day holiday, the Taizhou Yang-style Bonsai Exhibition Hall displayed nearly a thousand works for citizens and tourists to visit free of charge.

  This afternoon, a reporter saw at the Taizhou Yang-style Bonsai Exhibition Hall at the east gate of Taishan Park in the urban area that many citizens and tourists had come to admire and take photos. Zhao Jianmin, an elderly man aged 66 this year, had come specially from Gaogang to see the exhibition.

  The elm stump work "Bingzhi" is a work by Wang Shoushan, founder of Yang-style bonsai and a master of Chinese bonsai art, and it once won an excellence award at the National Bonsai Art Exhibition. In 1960, the Chinese mountaineering team conquered Mount Everest for the first time. After seeing the news, Wang Shoushan was filled with passion, set about creating this work, and named it “Bingzhi”.

  During this year's National Day holiday, the Taizhou Yang-style Bonsai Exhibition Hall displayed nearly a thousand bonsai of more than thirty varieties, including Huangya, elm and cypress-pine, among which nearly 40 had won awards at or above the provincial level, including well-known works such as "Guo Ziyi Bringing His Son to Court" and "Bingzhi".
