The potted landscapes are used to using various
kinds of flowers, trees, and rocky of miniature trees. Passing
through the skilled workers, made artist processing, and modifying
the natural elegant demeanor and graceful bearings, they become
the lively arts. People always praise the potted landscapes,
The no sound poems and the stereoscopic paintings. In fact,
this article of art not only has rich poetic flavor, but also
it can give people the feeling of life.
To the potted landscapes, naturally, people might
think of the Maihuayucun Village (selling the flowers and
fishing village) in Shexian County. This is a potted landscape
expert village, and it is one of the few wood stake production
bases supporting the potted landscapes in the whole country.
According to the Hongs Generation Record, in
the Qianfu 6th year, Shizong of Tang Dynasty, the fourth generation
of the Hongs, named Hong Bixin, was fond of books and good
at composing and singing. He had planted the plum trees in
front of his house, and composed a hundred poems for it and
enjoyed himself very much. Therefore, in other wards there
is about over one-thousand-year history of planting the flowers.
From the People's Great Hall of Beijing to the
Guangzhou Export Trade Fair of Goods, from Wuhan Changjiang
River's Large Bridge to the Outer Bank Park of Shanghai, there
are lots of the rare flowers and woods cultivated meticulously
by the skilled flower peasants from the Maihuayucun Village
which, as beautiful as a flower's name, is well known far
and wide for its production of the miniature bonzai and potted
landscape. (Click to see the video: The Huizhou Style Potted
Landscape)
The potted landscapes are usually divided into
two parts; the one is the stake potted-landscape, and the
other is the mountain and rockery potted landscape. It received
influences of the different areas' art styles, weathers, and
the seeds of the trees, so it formed different styles. The
mainly of them are the Yang's, Sichuan's, Shanghai's, Shexian's,
of which Maihuayucun is the representative.
The Huizhou potted landscape belongs to the stake
potted landscape. Because the form is affected on the Xin'an
Paint School, it is also called the Xin'an style. Its characteristic
is old, peculiar and strange strong and firm, and natural.
On the breeding the new various kind of the potted landscape
is formed with a big stake head, and its shape is simple and
unsophisticated. The playing dragon form is the model of Huizhou
potted landscape. The flower peasants made the dragon oppressed
into no more than an inch. From the small appearing the large,
here are no different signs of the flowers and woods.
It usually takes a long time to make a plum stake
potted landscape because it needs subtle skills. At first
it must be oppressed on the ground, when February and March
come, the flower peasants must tie it with the palm skins
and sticks, make it winging year by year with about 20-30
winding bends, therefore the plum stake with the big stake
might usually take about over 20-30 years to become strange
shape with lots of the winging bends.
The materials of the Huizhou potted landscapes
are widely chosen. There are mainly such things, as the plum
trees, the Camellia, the Nandina, the yew podocarpus, the
Emerald green cypress, the purple myrtle, the pomegranate,
the sweet-scented osmanthus, the Azalea, the elm, and so on.
Each seed of these kinds of trees also has various different
seeds. To take the plum and the sending spring plum stakes
for example, there are the kinds of the green sepal plum,
the sending spring plum with inner red color, light edges,
the purplish red sand plum, the red bones plum, the snow white
like the Jade butterflies plum, and the yellow-golden shining
winter calyx canthus, and which is about 10 kinds.
When you are walking into the Maihuayucun, you
will feel as if you are walking into the world of flowers.
Seeing the sights, there are full of flowers, woods and the
potted landscapes inside the garden. There are flowers and
woods in front of the door, in the house, on the mountain,
at the roadside. It said as if that it was the flowers peasant's
ingenuity that had moved the heaven and god with their skilled
hands overcame the whole nature.
