Human beings have human laws, and heaven has heavenly laws, and we cannot leave nature, but nature does not have to give birth to human beings. Whoever upsets the balance of nature can have irreparable consequences. When bonsai is created, a large number of wild piles that have grown in the deep mountains and wild forests for many years are artificially excavated, causing great damage to nature.

A bonsai created by mountain materials
Bonsai creation, the need for the most wild, old piles, the use of mountain piles, half the effort and twice the result, this is indeed the artificial cultivation of piles in the current technology can not be compared. Since the revival of bonsai art in the eighties of the last century, countless people have poured into the deep mountains and old forests to dig all kinds of strange piles and strange trees, in order to make huge profits from them.
Natural vegetation
Taking the vegetation of Xiangxi more than 10 years ago as an example, there are 850 species of woody plants in 106 families, 320 genera and 850 species in Zhangjiajie area, from the depth of about 200 square kilometers in Wulingyuan, from time to time on the roadside, outside the cliff, and in the mountain stream, pits of different sizes can be seen on the roadside, outside the cliff, and in the mountain stream. Ordinary mountain people do not have the vision and literacy of bonsai creators, and they dig a lot without knowing or not, regardless of whether they can make bonsai or not, dig home with their brains, burn and throw away if they can't sell it, and accumulate over the years and deplete resources. The mountain mining behavior based on the excavation of old piles has caused damage and waste to the wild bonsai resources in the mainland, and more than half of the old piles have died due to improper mining season and improper mining methods.
Survey form of main stump resources of Hunan bonsai
The above survey table of the main stump resources of Hunan bonsai shows that the most used tree species are also varieties that are almost impossible to find in the mountains and forests. The forestry sector has long legislated severe penalties for such habitat destruction, which is the correction of human behavior towards excessive destruction of nature. Like the consumption of wild meat, if it is not prohibited by legislation, it is impossible to eliminate it driven by profits, and a small amount of use may be willing to be given by Mother Nature, but how can the environment bear such a large demand?
Artificial material cultivation base

It is urgent to protect wild bonsai resources, especially some rare and precious resource species, and should make full use of agriculture and biotechnology to introduce, domesticate and artificially cultivate, so as to make them rapidly multiply, so as to maintain ecological balance and maintain the long-term effectiveness of resources. In the current special period, we have realized the seriousness of interfering with nature, and we should formulate rules, supervise compliance, and gradually correct. The change of the name of "stump bonsai" to "tree bonsai" in bonsai discipline is itself a forward-looking move to weaken the concept of "stump". May human beings learn to live in harmony with nature while accepting the selfless gifts of nature.
