杨清振在《谈谈我学做文人树盆景》(刊2004年第一期)一文中附上了他的《铮骨啸风》的照片,笔者也颇喜爱文人树。在学习过程中有一些教训,在此愿与杨先生探讨。首先,该盆景的树桩选材上应该说不是太理想:树干太粗,树头向上不多便向右斜,随即向左弯曲,结顶时又向右倾斜,形成一个 S 形主干。文人树的单干树桩要求修长挺拔,直中微曲,以显示干形的俊雅文秀,清新脱俗·而该桩的 S 型树干比较柔弱,缺乏阳刚之气,不能不说是一个致命的弱点。杨先生对该盆景下了较大的功夫,修枝养片颇其功力,特别是结顶处较好地施展了技艺。但在左右两边都留下垂枝,却是明显的败笔。它使画面芜杂松散,大背文人树疏朗简洁之意,且两枝相背、缺乏呼应。愚意右边的垂枝可剪去,而左侧的垂枝则在下垂 Yang Qingzheng attached his photo of “Zheng bone Xiao wind” in his article entitled “Talking about my study of the literati tree bonsai” (first issue, 2004), and I also like the literati tree.

First of all, the bonsai stump material selection should not be too ideal: the trunk is too thick, the tree is not much up to the right oblique, then bend to the left, when the top and then tilt to the right to form a S-shaped trunk. Literati tree trunk stumps require slender, straight in the slightly curved, to show dry Junya Wenxiu, fresh and refined, and the pile of S-shaped trunk is relatively weak, lack of masculinity, can not be said to be a fatal weakness. Mr. Yang under the bonsai under a larger effort, pruning tablets quite skill, especially at the top of the knot to display their skills. However, the weeping of both left and right sides is a clear failure. It makes the picture loose and loose, with a simple and concise meaning of the scholar’s tree, and its two branches are opposite and lacks echo. Foolish weeping can be cut to the right, while the left side of the weeping is drooping
