bonsai trees have only one trunk, and the trunk posture is basically upright or slightly curved, that is to say, those with curved meaning in straight are called straight and dry. Straight dry bonsai trees require that the best performance of the root must be that there are thick roots extending to all sides, so that the trees appear solemn and stable, and have the momentum of standing on the ground. The branches extend all around, with rich layers and powerful branches. The branches should be about 1 /3 or 2 /3 of the height of the trunk, and the branches and leaves should not be too much, so as to avoid blocking the trunk. The trunk should be exposed to show the uprightness and vigor of basin trees. The flowerpot should be shallow, and the planting position depends on the tree shape. Pay attention to an asymmetric balance between the tree and the basin. For example, if the crown is isosceles triangle, the planting position is suitable to live in the middle and back; if the crown is slightly unequal triangle, the planting position should be slightly inclined to the short side of the triangle
The basin view of straight dry trees should be made into a high-rise "straight frame" picture work, and the branches should be short. The suitable tree species for direct dry works are black pine, five needle pine, golden Qian pine, metasequoia, Ginkgo biloba, elm, etc. Most of these materials are from forest farms and gardens, as well as from mountains and fields.
The bent bonsai tree requires a certain degree of bending change of the trunk, but it is not suitable to have more bends. One or two bends is enough. Avoid too monotonous repetition of music, or there will be traces of artificial creation. The key to Qu lies in living. The changes of the main lines are rigid, flexible, rigid and flexible. The lines are smooth, graceful and straight.
The qugan material of shancai is unpredictable, vigorous and natural, which is very valuable, but there are also unsatisfactory line changes, so we should pay attention to the selection.
for the artificial qugan material, the main stem must be slightly inclined when planting, so that the root on the other side can be cultivated into a strong and thick root, which is half exposed on the soil surface, and the direction of the root and the connection of the main stem can have a smooth and harmonious feeling. This is the most important ornamental part of qudry tree bonsai, which must be attached great importance to.
for the part above the base of the trunk, it can be cut short by cutting, so that the trunk can choose another development direction. In the future, it can also be cut and tied to cultivate the trunk to meet the requirements of the basin landscape.
Cypress is the most typical material for dry bonsai. Other tree species such as pine and some miscellaneous trees are also suitable for composing dry bonsai.
In nature, the inclination of tree trunk is mostly caused by strong wind or landslides. Therefore, the form of tree trunk tilt is also very complex, but one thing is that its trunk line is not a straight line, but a variety of "s" shaped deformation. This kind of inclination of the trunk in nature is reflected in the bonsai of trees, which we call inclined dry type. The main body of the oblique dry bonsai material must have various "s" shaped deformations. If the main stem inclines to the right, there should be thick roots on the left side, and the main stem tip turns upward, which is just like the inclined dry bonsai material for many years. If the trunk is inclined and the trunk line is straight, it lacks charm and does not conform to the natural law. Because there is no strong wind day, and the trees always have to continue to grow up.
The key point of making slant dry tree bonsai is how to make the tree form balance without losing the center of gravity. The methods are: to play the role of thick root in the opposite direction, to play the role of branches in the opposite direction and the main branch falling in the same direction, giving people a sense of support.
In order to strengthen the inclination of the basin tree and make the composition active, it is advisable to select a round shallow basin, a square shallow basin or a half high round basin, so that the inclined trunk or branches go beyond the basin.
Pine and cypress trees and some miscellaneous trees are suitable for the material of inclined dry bonsai.
On the precipices of nature, some trees grow in all kinds of postures, which are breathtaking but still flourishing. The trees in this posture are reflected in the bonsai collectively referred to as cliff style.
Cliff type generally has half suspension type, full suspension type and upside down type.
Semi hanging type: the whole plant of bonsai trees goes out of the basin and emerges in the air, but the tree body is not lower than the basin surface. It may be that the trunk is transverse, or the first branch is thicker and longer due to the shorter trunk, so it takes potential in the air.
Full suspension type: the whole plant of bonsai trees goes out of the basin, and stretches downward in the form of pouring, while the branches cross out.
Upside down type: the whole plant of bonsai trees goes out of the basin, the exposed trunk is vertically upside down, and the branches are still horizontal.
The production of cliff bonsai focuses on material selection, which requires that the base of the main body of the material has certain bending changes, so that the main body or big branches can cross or droop along the trend. Although cliff bonsai is popular, it should also be considered according to the material conditions and follow the modeling principle of "adapting to the material conditions".
Cliff bonsai used to be planted in flowerpots to set off the momentum of trees falling from high places. Now we use half height square basin or round basin for planting. When we arrange the exhibition, we use several high ones to create cliff momentum. Its advantage is that it can improve the cultivation and management of trees because of the too deep high dry barrel; it can make the view, basin and frame Trinity, and show them incisively and vividly, so as to make the picture transparent, harmonious and vivid.
The double dry tree bonsai is a combination of two trees, which embodies the artistic beauty of modesty, coordination, expectation and response, proper density, and the combination of reality and falsehood between the two trees, so as to show the ambit of the works with both body and spirit, and the combination of feelings and scenes.
The following points must be paid attention to in the production of double dry bonsai.
The selection of two trees must be primary and secondary. The main tree should be higher and the secondary tree smaller.
The attitude of the main tree is the main one, and that of the secondary tree should be similar or close to that of the main tree to form a certain tacit understanding. If the posture of the two main trees is different, for example, if they are all in one song, it is difficult to produce the beauty of coordination.
Two trees should be planted before and after, not parallel. It depends on the specific situation. When planting, the base of the main trunk of the two trees should be close to each other, and the direction of the root of the trees should be basically the same, and they should not be separated from each other. The angle between the two main branches should not be too large, generally within 45 ° angle. If it is too large, the two trunk trees may lose their echo and look.
The selection and adjustment of the branches of the double dry branch treatment is complex. The two trees should be treated as a unified whole, so as to achieve the overall balance and stability, the coordination between the virtual and the real, and the orderly struggle.
The lower branches of the two trees should be extended outwards respectively, and the thicker branches should be cut between the two trunks to avoid the intersection of the two trunks. The branches between the two trunks should be filled by the branches at the front and back to avoid straightness, which is the most natural.
In addition, the main tree should be higher than the secondary tree, so as to avoid the influence of the main tree branches on the growth of the secondary tree.
Double stem combination can also be two different tree species, but the best combination is still one tree species.
Double dry type is the combination of two trees, or the combination of a double dry type and a double dry type. Because from a modeling point of view, their trunk processing and branch processing are the same. It is possible that a book with two parts may be originally one and then be divided into two parts under the influence of external forces. The height, thickness, straightness and changes of the two main stems are all in line with the performance requirements of bonsai art. The sacrificial stems are also made by nature. They are slightly modified to remove corruption. The divine branch is indispensable, but artificial. Both waterlines are broad and grow on the outside of the stem, which is ideal. The crown is closely combined by two crowns, and its potential and two stems are unified. The whole tree has the beauty of stability, quietness, unity and harmony.
