Poems describing bamboo and stone

Bamboo Stone is a seven-character quatrain written by Zheng Xie, a painter in Qing Dynasty.

The whole poem is as follows: insist that the green hills are not relaxed, and the roots are broken. After thousands of tortures and blows, it is still strong, whether it is the southeast wind or the northwest wind in winter, it can bear it and will still be tough and straight.

This poem is a poem about bamboo. The poet praised not the softness of bamboo, but its fortitude. The first two sentences praise the inner spirit of bamboo rooted in broken rocks. The word "bite" at the beginning is extremely powerful and vivid, which fully expresses Zhu Jin's resolute character. Then the word "bite" is supplemented by "don't relax", and Zhu Jin's personality characteristics are fully displayed. The "broken rock" in the second sentence highlights the tenacity of bamboo vitality. The last two sentences went on to write that the harsh objective environment honed and tested bamboo. Regardless of the wind and rain, regardless of the frost and snow, the green bamboo still stands proudly. "Thousand blows" and "southeast and northwest winds" are extremely harsh. This poem is a metaphor for people. By praising the strong bamboo in the rock, the author implicitly expresses his noble thoughts and sentiments of never drifting with the tide.
