the two characters shown on the left: “pen” – “pot” or “container”,
and “jing” – “scenery”. Penjing is the Chinese art of creating a
miniature landscape in a container. These creations of carefully
truned trees and rocks are small-scale renditions of natural
landscapes. They are often referred to as living sculptures or as
three-dimensional poetry. Their artistic composition captures the
spirit of nature and distinguishes them from ordinary potted plants.

selecting and shaping rocks, which are usually placed in a container in contact with
water. Small live plants are placed within the composition to complete the depiction.
Shuihan penjing : A water and land penjing style that effectively combines the first
two, including miniature trees and optionally miniature figures and structures to
portray a landscape in detail.
