Penjing (Chinese: 盆景; pinyin: pén jǐng; literally "tray scenery"), also known as tray landscape, potted scenery, potted landscape, and miniature trees and rockery is the ancient Chinese art of growing trees and plants, kept small by skilled pruning and formed to create an aesthetic shape and the illusion of age. Penjing is very similar to and the precursor of the Japanese art of bonsai. Penjing generally fall into one of three categories depending on what their subject matter is. These categories are Tree Penjing (essentially bonsai), Landscape Penjing, and Water and Land Penjing.
