Penjing

Penjing (Chinese: pinyin: pen jǐng; literal meaning tray scenery) or penzai (Chinese: pinyin: pen zai; meaning literally plant trays) is the ancient Chinese art of planting trees or plants that are made in order to remain stunted size by pruning to generate forms that meet the criteria of aesthetics and created illusions about the age of the plant. In general, penjing divided into three categories based on the subject: penjing tree (shumu penjing), penjing scenery / landscape (Shanshui penjing), and water and soil penjing (shuihan penjing). Japanese bonsai art originally came from penjing (bonsai is the Japanese pronunciation for penzai).

 

In general, the main visual difference between bonsai and penjing is on form. Bonsai tend to have the forms simpler (looks more "subtle"), a large proportion of branches exceeded, and planted in pots simple shape with a color or colors bleak land. Conversely, penjing designed in various shapes that looked "wild", and can be planted in brightly colored pots or other forms that are more creative. Fans of the mini plant outside of Asia often blur the distinction penjing and bonsai for the purpose of exploring the potential of plant pots and materials, and want to be free from the style and traditional techniques.

Group (Yoseue?)

    More than one tree planted together in a shallow pot or planted in stone. Trees planted to only a few trees of one species, or a mixture of several different species. The value of creativity can be elevated with a mix of work objects that are placed as an additional decoration.

Bonsai Plant

is a plant or tree that dwarfed in shallow pots with the purpose of making a miniature of the original shape of an old tree in the wild. Planting (sai, 栽) performed in shallow pots, called the bill (盆). The term bonsai also used for traditional Japanese art in the maintenance of plants or trees in shallow pots, and appreciation of beauty of form branches, leaves, stems, and roots of trees, and shallow pot into a container, or the overall shape of the plant or tree. Bonsai is the Japanese pronunciation for penzai (盆栽).




 
This art includes various cutting techniques and pruning plants, wiring (the formation of branches and branches of trees by wrapping the wire or bend them with wire ties), and makes the roots spread on the rock. Making bonsai takes a long time and involve a variety of jobs, including fertilization, pruning, crop establishment, watering, and replacement of pots and soil. Plants or trees dwarfed by cutting roots and branches. The tree is formed with the help of wire on twigs and tunasnya. Wire must be taken before they could scratch the skin of the tree branch. Plants are living things, and there are no bonsai that can be said is complete or finished. Changes that occur continuously in the plant according to season or natural state is one of the attractions of bonsai.
