Bonsai Art And Its Meaning

June 11th, 2010 | Author: Bonsai Tree Guru

As for me, when I first saw a bonsai tree, I wanted to know everything about the history and the meaning of this phenomenon. Trees in the trays – it was so exciting and it is the translation of the word ‘bonsai’. It is of Japanese origin but not Japan was a birth country for this art. Maybe these tiny trees hide something special behind this art? This phenomenon was originated in some other Eastern country and later came to Japan. The origin was in China, and some centuries later Japanese people inherited this art and improved it. The bonsai appeared about one thousand years ago.

Dragons, serpents, birds and some other fabulous animals – they all were recreated in the shapes of bonsai trees. And the legends and myths tell us about mysterious creatures in the form of animals. Ancient Chinese literature is full of these stories and they have deep roots in Chinese mythology.

Later the meaning of bonsai art changed a lot and Japanese society liked bonsai much. Peace and harmony between nature and people – the main meaning of the bonsai art. The idea was brought to Japan by Buddhist monks and the fabulous shapes of dragons have been lost and forgotten and bonsai represent peace and harmony and all good.

In the descriptions, guides and books about bonsai growing, the influence of Buddhist monks is still seen very well. The texts tell about zen-like state of mind and meditation while you are growing your bonsai tree. You should water your bonsai and meditate, prune its branches and think of zen, wire its shoots and be as calm as a Buddhist monk. Cutting and shaping should be done in the meditative state of mind.

Nevertheless this origin meaning has been completely lost and forgotten and now general public practice bonsai growing only for decoration and even purchase artificial silk bonsai trees because they do not want to take care of the natural plants.

But if you are ready to create your own bonsai but not to buy a silk one, you will know the spiritual notes of this miniature miracle. Every day will bring you something new and you will be discovering your bonsai plant during its life. You will understand what pleasure is to rear bonsai. You will have to learn your tree, know its nature and wills, understand its desires and features. Both you and your tree will grow together in the desirable direction and you will direct each other gently. The balance is necessary when you are growing a bonsai miniature. You both will be patient and allow each other to display your characters. You both will make your own decisions. The fragile tiny creature will make you stronger and nicer.

People always try to decorate their houses with various plants to create a feeling of unity with nature.

Bonsai: The Meaning Of The Art

June 10th, 2010 | Author: Bonsai Tree Guru

People of the modern world became aesthetes and gourmets and they are interested in exotic things, for example, in growing bonsai trees. This little article will show you some interesting facts about bonsai art and give some details about the meaning and the history of bonsai.

So, what is behind these tiny trees in the pots?

The Japanese roots of the word are clear but the origin of this art was in another country. China but not Japan was the native land for the art of growing dwarfed trees. This art started thousand years ago and still some other Asian countries cultivate the same tradition – miniature plants are grown in Vietnam, Korea and Thailand. The meaning of the bonsai art is interesting and deep.

There were many legends and myths related to the origin of the bonsai tree art. Some legends mention that in the good old times people grew the trees in the shapes of animals – dragons, birds and snakes. Chinese myths tell about this.

After Japanese people discovered this tender art and liked the aesthetics of bonsai, they succeeded this art and developed it a lot. It was brought into Japan by some Buddhist monks and they presented this art like an emblem of harmony between people and nature. Later dragons and serpents were gone and the shapes of the trees became beautiful and natural. Mythological meaning of the bonsai art has disappeared and the tiny trees signify balance and good.

We still feel the deep influence of Buddhist monks and their philosophy on the bonsai art. They told about zen spirit and meditation and even in the modern books on bonsai growing you can find recommendations to prune and water bonsai trees having zen state of mind. But the core and the deepest meaning of the bonsai art was completely lost during last decades and now these miniature creatures are grown not for meditation but only for decoration. Like emblems of eastern culture they live in our homes and offices and we even buy silk bonsai trees instead of natural because we are too busy and too lazy and do not want to learn how to create such little miracle from the very beginning. It is really easy to purchase a silk bonsai plant and forget about everything – about history, philosophy and zen-like state of mind. In this case a lot of good was lost and forgotten.

But you can choose this spiritual hobby and create your own bonsai tree instead of purchasing it. You will feel your tree and know its nature and the deep core meaning of bonsai tree growing will be clear for you. You will know the meaning of the balance between nature and human being.

People always try to decorate their houses with various plants to create a feeling of unity with nature.

What Do Bonsai Trees Mean?

June 9th, 2010 | Author: Bonsai Tree Guru

Bonsai amateurs often think about the meaning of bonsai trees and ask what is hidden behind these trees. They try to guess or listen to some rumors, and many people think that bonsai is one of the Japanese cultural tradition. But let us consider the meaning of the word ‘bonsai’ first. From Japanese language it is translated like ‘a tree in a tray’, but the origin of this beautiful art goes back to ancient China. The art of growing tiny alive creatures in pots started about a thousand years ago.

There were myths and legends that say about strangely looking plants that people grew in the good old days and that those plants looked like mythical creatures – dragons, birds and snakes. The origin of these myths is in the Chinese mythology.

Later the meaning of the word and the notion in general has changed a lot and this form of art was adopted by Japanese people and improved by them very quickly. Buddhist monks brought this art to Japan and then these tiny plants were viewed like a emblem of harmony between nature and human beings. Since then the shapes of the bonsai plants have changed a lot too and the grotesque forms of serpents and dragons have vanished and now bonsai trees are about harmony, peace and balance between people and universe. Only good and no harm – that is the main idea of bonsai trees now.

The influence of Buddhist monks has never disappeared completely and it can be felt even now and even in the western countries. Talks about meditation state of mind and zen can be found in the books about bonsai growing and practice. In the guidebooks that were published in the western countries you can find the idea about meditative state that is absolutely necessary when you are growing your own bonsai tree and you must water, prune and trim your plant with a zen-like state of mind and soul. But during several decades the root meaning of the bonsai planting was lost almost completely and for general public bonsai trees are just beautiful alive creatures that can add some Asian charm to their homes and offices. They just like to feel this touch of East in their homes.

When you grow your own bonsai you learn a lot and know how your tree feels and discover that spiritual note that books describe. You will know that nature and the character of your bonsai tree and learn how to find the balance between your desires and possibilities of the tree. You will find much inside yourself while you are growing bonsai and you will like it. The process of growing a bonsai tree is exciting and tender.
