“…For Sichuan potted landscapes, if the flat branch type highlights the overall effect, then the curly branch type is more prominent in terms of the combination of flowers and leaves [ 3 , 5 , 7 ]. In the flowering season, the flower branches show the beauty of the flowers, and each flower is perfectly displayed.…”

“…For the rolling branch type, there are specific rules regarding the internal structure of the branches, as well as the arrangement of the main branch and side branches. The rolling branch type can be further divided into two rhythmic forms: large rolling branches and small rolling branches [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…In terms of academic classification, the classification methods of Sichuan-style regular bonsai are not the same, and there is no systematic and scientific analysis of its structural characteristics and aesthetic characteristics. At present, most scholars mainly use the 10 methods of Masters Sifu Chen [ 5 ] and Chuanrui Pan [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ] to classify the trunk shape. Among them, except for Pan’s trunk shape, the dragon body and the pimple body, which are quite different from Chen’s method of connecting, bending, turning, and borrowing, the methods have different names but involve similar techniques.…”

Understanding the Sichuan potted landscapes, one of the five types of traditional Chinese potted landscapes, is important for exploring the development of Sichuan landscape architecture in Southwest China. In this study, we analyzed the shape and aesthetic characteristics of the traditional regular bonsai of the Sichuan style according to trunk features, branch patterns, tree shape, branch arrangement, and branch and plate numbers. Studies have shown that the flat-branch-type branch plate slopes downward and the bottom rises, and the number of branch plates is 2n + 1 (where n is the number of layers of the branch plate, n > 4), which is a proportional sequence. The ratio of the main pile height to the footplate is approximately 1.5:1–2:1, the pot:footplate ratio is <1:1, and the maximum bend:trunk ratio is <1:2. There were extremely significant differences between the length of the foot plate and its adjacent branch and plate length and the distance between the branch and plate. Interestingly, the rolling branch-type plants are characterized by vertical curved branches, oblique curved branches, and curved branches, reflecting the beauty of harmony and symmetry. Overall, the regular-style Sichuan tree potted landscape is mainly characterized by the beauty of rhythm and symmetry.
