What does it mean to go up first, then down and then turn left in bonsai?

Be fully prepared and don't rush into action. "I want to go up first" means that before pursuing a higher or higher level goal, I need to deal with the bottom or basic things first and lay a solid foundation; "Want to be left first" means that when making a decision or choice, you need to carefully consider or make a correct priority choice first; "Bending bonsai" means that when pruning bonsai or dealing with problems, appropriate adjustments should be made according to specific conditions. The phrase "I want to go first, I want to go left first, and the bonsai will take a turn" is also slang in spoken Chinese, which is usually used to describe the strategies or methods that need to be adopted when dealing with things or solving problems.
