Innovative development of Su-style bonsai craftsmanship brooks no delay

  At present, the inheritance methods of Su-style bonsai craftsmanship are relatively limited, and the number of inheritors is also very small. For example, one provincial-level and two municipal-level representative inheritors each have only one apprentice, and even this is unstable.

  Therefore, in addition to continuing to give play to the role of professional bonsai workers in scientific research and innovation, attention should also be paid to training through the horticulture programs of specialized vocational colleges such as Suzhou Tourism and Finance Institute.

  Through the construction of a cooperation system and mechanism among government, schools, industry, enterprises and the public with regional industrial characteristics, and through the inheritance of skills by relevant majors, master teacher studios and representative inheritors, specialized talent engaged in Su-style bonsai craftsmanship can be cultivated, truly achieving the “inheritance” and productive protection of Su-style bonsai.
