The two sentences in the Bamboo Stone that reflect the perseverance of bamboo are: It has been strong despite being beaten by the east, west, north and south.
In the poems and paintings of the author Zheng Banqiao, bamboo is often a symbol of noble conduct and strong will, while wind is often a representative of evil forces.
In this poem, bamboo also withstands the blows of the "east, west, north and south winds" throughout the year. But because it is deeply rooted in the rock, it remains firm and strong. No matter what kind of wind it is, it has nothing to do with it. The poet uses the words "Qian" and "Wan" to describe the tenacity, fearlessness, calmness and confidence of bamboo. It can be said that the artistic conception of the whole poem emerges suddenly at this point. At this time, what stands in front of us is no longer just a few ordinary bamboos. What we feel is a kind of tenacious vitality and an indomitable willpower, and all of this is contained in that slender Among the windy bamboos.
