Culture in Burgundie: Difference between revisions

===Bonsai===

In keeping with the {{wp|French formal garden|ort a la themis}} philosophy, [[Burgundie]] has imported many ideas for parks and gardens from its former colonies. Chief among them is the art of bonsai. The roots of [[Burgundie]]'s fascination with bonsai can be traced back to [[Oyashima]]'s colonial era, spanning the 17th to the 19th century. Bonsai, the art of cultivating miniature trees, captivated the [[Bergendii]] settlers and merchants in the [[Far East Colony]], with its precision, artistry, and connection to nature. The [[Bergendii]] traders' fascination with bonsai laid the foundation for its eventual adoption in [[Burgundie]]. As they returned home, they brought with them not only bonsai trees but also knowledge about the art of bonsai cultivation.

Bonsai initially captured the attention of [[Burgundie|Marialanus]]'s ducal court which was renowned for its patronage of the arts, embraced bonsai as a symbol of refinement and sophistication. The court displayed bonsai trees in their palaces, fostering a sense of appreciation for these miniature masterpieces in the 1650s-onward. In the late 17th century, under ducal patronage, other aristocrats, scholars, and botanists in [[Burgundie|Marialanus]] began to explore the art of bonsai. These early enthusiasts sought to replicate the northern [[Dolong]]ese techniques and styles. The spread of bonsai cultivation clubs and societies further contributed to the growth of this art form in [[Burgundie]] in the 18th century.
