| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: The Humble Administrator's Garden is the largest and the most famous garden in Suzhou. Its central section is a recreation of the scenery of the Lower Yangtze River.--UNESCO website. Note: Penjing (literally: tray scenery), also known as penzai (literally: tray plant), tray landscape, potted scenery, potted landscape, or miniature trees and rockery, is the ancient Chinese art of depicting artistically formed trees, other plants, and landscapes in miniature ... Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Japanese traditions of bonsai ... as well as the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non bộ. Generally speaking, tree penjing specimens differ from bonsai by allowing a wider range of tree shapes (more wild-looking) and by planting them in bright-colored and creatively shaped pots. In contrast, bonsai are more simplified in shape (more refined in appearance) with larger-in-proportion trunks, and are planted in unobtrusive, low-sided containers with simple lines and muted colors.--Wikipedia |
