China's nature as real, yet as differently perceived, in the West.





           " Chinese Method of Dwarfing Trees."



         [  Applied to both Chinese gardens & penjing ]



Bibliography Reference - sighting the    " Gardeners Chronicle  of                21 November 1846 "


We should acknowledge, the Western perception of that time.......



  • Contemptible in appearance.
  • Cruelly tortured.
  • Excoriated.
  • Hideously made, that which nature created, beautifully.
  • Irrational.
  • Made lame & distorted, that was created straight and well-looking.
  • Overcomplicated.
  • Pitiful to look at.
  • Rendered mean and unhealthy.
  • Twisted and distorted.
  • Unnatural.





Natural or Not ?






         " Be minded, the same way toward others, as to yourselves;

do not be minding lofty things, but be led along, with the lowly things."



       These words were written in the First Century Common Era.
