树木盆景的造型与养护同等重要,不可偏废。造型是必要的,没有造型就不能称为盆景。养护则是造型的基础,也是造型的继续。造型与养护相辅相成,缺一不可。盆景创作应注意处理好造型与养护两者之间的关系。笔者在创作《百年历劫》过程中,对这点感受颇深。1994年11月,笔者购得一棵雀梅树桩(脱盆带土),当时枝条繁多、树形杂乱,侧枝较细与主干不协调,主干腐朽,顶部已干枯,生长势中等,但树桩颇具特色,别有风味。当年12月笔者对此桩进行加工,剪除枯枝、纤细枝、徒长枝、交叉枝、重叠枝、过密枝及其它杂枝,留下的枝条健壮,密度适中,位置也较合理。因粗度不够故暂不截短,以利加粗生长。修剪后用金属丝略加蟠扎,并对主干进行精细雕刻处理,美化树形。初次 Tree bonsai shape and conservation are equally important, can not be neglected. Modeling is necessary, there is no shape can not be called bonsai. Maintenance is the basis of modeling, modeling is the continuation. Modeling and conservation complement each other, are indispensable. Bonsai creation should pay attention to dealing with the relationship between modeling and conservation. The author in the creation of “centennial robbery” in the process, feel deep about this point. In November 1994, I bought a bird plum tree stump (off the basin with soil), when a large number of branches, tree messy, collateral and trunk inconsistent, trunk decay, the top has dried, medium growth potential, but rather quite stump Characteristics, do not have flavor. In December of that year, the author processed the pile and cut off dead branches, slender branches, leggy branches, cross branches, overlapping branches, dense branches and other miscellaneous branches. The branches left behind were robust, moderately densified and in relatively reasonable positions. Temporarily not truncated due to rough enough to facilitate bold growth. After pruning with a little silver wire rod, and the trunk of the fine carving, landscaping tree. First time
