This poem is from Song Dynasty poet Xu's Ode to Bamboo?
The full text is as follows:
Whether it is a pavilion or a mountain forest, does Aier have only a thousand acres of shade? ?
There was a knot before it was unearthed, and Lingyun had no intention of going. ?
Gebei began to merge with the dragon, and Igu chatted with Phoenix.
The moon is bright and the night is clear, and the poor prince has a bosom friend.
Translation:
Whether it is pavilions or mountains and rivers, people like bamboo, not only because you can support a shade.
Before the bamboo grows out of the soil, even if it grows to a very high height, it remains modest and humble.
Zhuge was assimilated by the dragon. From the valley came the call of the phoenix, as if calling.
It was a beautiful night, with bright moonlight and a breezy breeze. It's a pity that I only have a confidant like you.
Extended data:
Every spring, bamboo shoots come out of the ground, giving people a feeling of prosperity and progress.
The bamboo is straight and hollow, and the heart is like a valley. Therefore, Li Kuchan, a master of Chinese painting, praised bamboo for being "modest before being unearthed, and modest when going to Lingyun", expressing its spirit of striving for progress and being positive without losing its virtue of being open-minded and upright.
Because of its hollow knots, bamboo can be self-sustaining, and the culm is straight and not bent, and it is rising step by step. The bamboo pole is elegant, upright and has clear joints. Paying attention to honesty is the tradition of China people.
"Qi" is a noble spirit and a spirit; "Festival" is a kind of personality; "Integrity" means that people should have noble spiritual sentiments, not flatter powerful people, and still adhere to their integrity in times of crisis.
