The ideas for answering this question are: first, figure out what "supporting things to express aspirations" is, second, figure out what the meaning of bamboo is, and third, start writing an article about the meaning of "bamboo".
1. What is "to express one's ambitions through things" and the meaning of bamboo
The so-called "to express one's ambitions through things" means to express one's own feelings by describing specific objective things. A method of expressing feelings, ambitions and interests.
For example, "Ode of Lime" by the ancient poet Yu Qian is a work in which the poet borrows objects to express his feelings. By describing the process and results of mining stones and burning them into lime, it expresses the poet's feelings of not being afraid of hardships and upright thoughts.
Pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms are the themes that are constantly chanted in poems and essays. Pines and bamboos survive the cold winter without withering, while plum blossoms bloom in the cold wind, so they are elegantly called the "Three Friends of Suihan". .
Bamboo contains integrity and purity, and can often express uprightness, perseverance and other qualities. 2. Write a bamboo composition based on the object and the ambition
The following is a specific example to illustrate.
The selected example is from an article in "The Latest Classification Composition for Primary School Students", see page 53 of the book. Because primary school students are the first to come into contact with compositions about objects and aspirations, I chose compositions written by primary school students, which are very in line with the actual situation of primary school students and have great reference value. Please read this essay entitled "Bamboo"——
There are many bamboos hanging in Teacher Sun's room. There are wind bamboos, rain bamboos, snow bamboos, green bamboos, and black bamboos, all in various shapes and forms, lifelike. I saw that these bamboos were very unique, so I wanted to learn how to draw bamboos.
I told my dad about this idea, and he said: "It's not easy to learn to draw bamboo! Bamboo poles are like regular script, bamboo joints are like running script, and bamboo leaves are like cursive script. I want to learn how to draw bamboo." To draw bamboo, you must first practice calligraphy. The ancients said, "Pine, bamboo and plum blossoms are the three friends of the cold year." After hearing this, I asked: "Is it really that difficult?" "It's different." At this time, my grandfather came over and told me a story:
There was a painter named Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty who loved painting bamboo all his life. The bamboos he painted were varied and flowing freely. I wrote a poem praising the strength and erectness of bamboo.
Hold on to the green hills and never relax,
Take root in the original broken rock.
Stand strong despite countless blows,
No matter how strong the wind is from east to west, north or south.
This poem fully expresses the author's strong and unyielding character of not yielding to the powerful, not colluding with the old forces!
After hearing this story, I decided to start practicing calligraphy. I practiced calligraphy for more than a month and drew a piece of "Fengmo Bamboo". After reading it, his father encouraged him: "Okay! It looks a bit like bamboo. As long as you keep practicing, you will get results." Zheng Banqiao has been painting bamboo all his life. He once said: "For forty years, I painted bamboo branches and spent my days thinking about them at night." This illustrates the truth that the writing is like the person and the painting is like the person. If you want to draw bamboo well, you must first be a strong and upright person.
This composition introduces Zheng Banqiao’s poems and uses them to support things and express aspirations. The cleverness is to use famous sentences from ancient times to express thoughts, that is, to use famous poems to “support objects and express aspirations.” , using the words of the ancients to express one's own feelings, isn't this a very clever way of writing? Worth learning from!
Explain the meaning of these four lines of Zheng Banqiao's poem: The bamboo clings tightly to the green mountain and does not let go. It turns out that it has its roots deeply embedded in the rock crevices. No matter how it is tempered and struck, no matter whether it is east wind, west wind, south wind or north wind, it is still strong and strong. This is a poem that chants things. It literally chants the tenacious and persistent character of bamboo. In fact, the author also uses bamboo to "express his ambition" to express his feelings of perseverance, uprightness, and integrity.
