Thoughts in a Secluded Study / Handmade Customized Micro-Landscape Eco-Terrarium

"Thoughts in a Secluded Study" Source: Lu You, Song Dynasty, "Early Summer in Seclusion" Original Verse: "Pavilions by the pond, waterside terraces, all possess a secluded charm; the wind and sun are clear and mild, the plants emit a fragrant scent." Poet's Background: Lu You, a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, is renowned for his patriotic sentiments and vivid descriptions of his homeland. In his later years, he retired to his hometown in Shanyin, dedicating himself to poetry and garden life, leaving behind a wealth of works depicting tranquil rural living. "Early Summer in Seclusion" reflects his reclusive life, where the scenery is interwoven with emotion. The poem uses "pavilions by the pond" and "waterside terraces" alongside "wind and sun" and "plants" to paint a serene and elegant summer garden, expressing his inner peace and detachment. Interpretation: This terrarium borrows the essence of "secluded living" to recreate a tranquil scene beside a study. The silver-gray birdhouse and dark gray architecture accentuate the verdant ferns and soft, plumed reeds, constructing a dreamlike, ethereal forest landscape reminiscent of an ancient academy. It eschews dramatic rock formations and flamboyant flowers, instead drawing the viewer's gaze deep into the soul with clear greenery and misty, cloud-like textures, creating a contemplative space for the literati.

During actual creation, plants such as Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri', Podocarpus macrophyllus, or Nandina domestica may be substituted based on availability and requirements, all capable of preserving the spirit of "emptiness and tranquility," "nobility," and "detachment from the mundane," continuing to cultivate a refined and tasteful indoor natural landscape. | Dimensions | 15cm Glass Sphere Pot: Mouth diameter 9.5cm, height 11cm, maximum outer diameter 15cm (includes humidity dome) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54822119655_8cb18c5890_c.jpg | Contents | Pine bark, shale, ebony gravel, Asparagus setaceus, Dicranum scoparium, Hypnum plumaeforme, Thuidium delicatulum, finely crafted Chinese architectural model.
