Bamboo is not relaxed at all, its roots are firmly embedded in the cracks in the rocks.
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.
[Notes]
1.
Bamboo stone is a poem.
2.
Persistence: Metaphorically, the roots are firmly rooted, just like biting.
3.
Grinding: torture. Perseverance: firm and strong.
4.
Joel: Yeah. It means: the wind in the southeast and northwest blows fiercely, but it can't be blown down.
[explanation]
This is a poem with profound implications. The first two sentences say that bamboo is rooted in broken rocks and has a solid foundation. The second sentence says that no matter how the wind blows from all directions, the bamboo stone is still strong. While praising Zhu Shi's firm and tenacious spirit, the author also implies the strength of his own character. "Endure all kinds of hardships, stay strong and keep up with the wind in the east, west, north and south" is often used to describe people's firm stand in the struggle and unshakable character when they are hit.
On the value of water in rivers like the sea

I like to try to find a good poem all my life. The language of the poem is not surprising, and I will not stop.
People are getting older and older, and writing poems is perfunctory. With flowers and birds in spring, there is no deep sadness in the past.
I have a new clothes and a stockade by the river. I can fish leisurely. I have prepared a wooden raft to replace the boat in the river.
I hope that Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and other poetry masters will definitely chat with each other and have a tea party.
[explanation]
All my life, people like to think and look for good poems. I will never give up until the language of poetry reaches an amazing level.
People are getting older and older, and writing poems is all perfunctory. Facing the birds and flowers in spring, there is no deep sadness in the past.
A new wooden fence has been installed by the river for me to fish leisurely, and I have prepared a small raft to replace the boats entering and leaving the river.
I hope to be accompanied by poets such as Tao Yuanming and Xie Lingyun. At this time, we will definitely write poems and talk together.
