Make an appreciative comment
This poem embodies the tenacity and persistence of bamboo. It is a painting poem praising Yanzhu, and it is a poem about things. From the beginning, it personified Yanzhu and conveyed its charm. The last two sentences further describe the character of Yanzhu, which has grown into a particularly tall and straight figure through hardships. It is never afraid of strong winds from east, west, north and south. Zheng Xie not only wrote bamboo poems with bamboo stones, but also painted bamboo vividly. In his words, it is "painting bamboo to comfort the world." Therefore, this poem is about bamboo on the surface, but it is actually about people, and the author's own upright and stubborn character will never bow to any evil forces. This poem can also touch our lives, overcome difficulties in a tortuous and harsh environment, face the reality, be as strong and brave as Yanzhu, and reflect the feelings of patriots.
