Bonsai (Japanese lit.?'tray planting', pronounced [bo??sai] is the Japanese and East Asian art of growing and training miniature trees in containers, developed from the traditional Chinese art form of penjing Penjing and bonsai differ in that the former attempts to display "wilder," more naturalistic scenes, often representing landscapes, including elements such as water, rocks, or figurines on the other hand, bonsai typically focuses on a single tree or a group of trees of the same species, with a higher level of aesthetic refinement. Similar versions of the art exist in other cultures, including the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non b?. During the Tang dynasty, when penjing was at its height, the art was first introduced in China
