Takeishi
(Qing) Zheng Banqiao
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.
Appreciate:
The first sentence, "Stick to the Castle Peak and Don't Relax", although it doesn't mention the word "bamboo", it has already shown the image of a tough and straight bamboo clinging to the Castle Peak. I think everyone must have seen this image of bamboo growing in the gap between green hills.
In addition, the word "bite" here not only personifies bamboo, but also helps to describe people with things. It can also reflect the indomitable strength of bamboo in the struggle against nature.
The second sentence is "rooted in broken rocks", that is, the reason why bamboo has a tough and straight image is inseparable from its deep roots in broken rocks. It can be seen that bamboo and rock in Zheng Banqiao's poems and paintings are inseparable, which is also the reason why the title is "Bamboo Stone". Obviously, under Zheng Banqiao's pen and ink, bamboo and stone are a whole. As the saying goes, "Without carnations, it will not stand, and without bamboo mountains, it will not be green".
At the same time, it also tells the world a profound truth, that is, the foundation is deep and the ultimate strength is strong enough.
The last two sentences, "I'm still strong, I'm willing to let the east, west, north and south winds blow", mean that bamboo is still strong after numerous hardships and blows, and you can blow the east, west, north and south winds. These two poems describe the harsh growth environment of bamboo. The wind in nature, in the image of poetry, has human feelings. It has both warm spring breeze and violent evil wind.
Obviously, the east, west, north and south winds here are evil winds, all of which are aimed at destroying bamboo.
