This bonsai is exquisite in craftsmanship and vivid in mood. It has a clear arrangement of primary and secondary scenery, and is well arranged. The gold-plated peach tree trunk shows a rich and noble atmosphere. The golden veins on the dotted peach leaves and the sapphire blue luster of the green feathers are still bright and beautiful, and the peaches made of various gemstones are exquisite and lovely. In Du Fu’s Daming Palace in the Early Days of Fenghe Jiazhi’s Sacrifice, there is a poem: “At midnight, there is a sound of an arrow to hasten the dawn, and the nine colors of spring intoxicate the peach trees.” This peach bonsai embodies the meaning of “nine colors of spring” in the poem, representing the peaceful scene of bright spring and prosperity. The matching of peach and longevity stone also means a birthday celebration, which is a widely used style of southern bonsai in the Qing Dynasty. This bonsai was a rare masterpiece during the reign of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.
