Talking About Bonsai

I want to talk deeper about bonsai.
Art:
Bonsai is a kind of art,
like drawing. However,
bonsai has life.
Advantage:
A good bonsai will show
the advantage of the tree
perfectly. Like we usually
show the thick roots of
banyan bonsai.
Nature:
Follow the nature. You may
ask "Do we always follow the
nature?" No, we will keep the
advantage of the tree but get
out the disadvantage of the tree.
Main Ideas of Making Bonsai
increase:
To let the tree grow bigger or
grow beautiful branches.
decrease:
Simple meaning is "cutting".
