In the long development process of bonsai, due to the influence of natural conditions, cultural traditions, local customs, and appreciation habits in different places, a variety of colorful forms and unique processing techniques have emerged.
There are mainly five schools of tree bonsai art in China: Lingnan School represented by Guangzhou, Sichuan School represented by Chengdu, Su School represented by Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, Yang School represented by Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, and Shanghai School represented by Shanghai.
Sichuan’s bonsai stands out among Chinese bonsai. Most bonsai emphasizes the concentration of nature in a space between heaven and earth. Although Sichuan bonsai is based on nature, it focuses on shaping an unnatural image. By using various tying techniques and polishing with time, the tree body is twisted, conveying the understanding and attitude of Sichuan people towards life and the world, with a unique sense of rhythm.
How to better appreciate Sichuan bonsai? Our founder Sissi comes from a horticultural family in the famous hometown of Garden plants and in China – Wenjiang, Chengdu, specially from the original place of Sichuan bonsai, Shouan Town . Since childhood, she has been exposed to the cultivation of bonsai and various plants, and has a unique experience and understanding. As a local tourism and cultural research team in Sichuan, we are not only familiar with our natural mountains, scenery, and culture of Sichuan, but also have traveled and studied different countries and cultures around the world. We can tell you about the unique natural and cultural symbol of Sichuan bonsai in a global context, and also tell you about the unique spirit of the Chinese people and the spiritual world of Sichuan people through bonsai.
