"Hsinchu"
From: Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie
Hsinchu is higher than the old bamboo branches, all because of the support of old stems.
Next year there will be another new born, a ten-foot-long dragon and grandson around Fengchi.
Translation:
The new bamboo can surpass the old bamboo entirely because of the growth and nourishment of the old bamboo.
When new bamboo grows again in the second year, it also begins to breed new bamboo, so that the pond is surrounded by lush young bamboo.
