Bamboo is the embodiment of a gentleman, and is one of the "four gentlemen".
Bamboo has seven virtues:
Bamboo has a straight body and would rather break than bend; this is called uprightness.
Although bamboo has knots, it does not stop; it is called striving forward.
The outside of the bamboo is straight and hollow, and the mind is like a valley; this is called an open mind.
Bamboo has flowers but does not bloom, and its face is plain; this is called simplicity.
Bamboo is detached and independent, standing tall against the sky and the earth; it is called Zhuoer.
Although bamboo is called outstanding, it is not like pine; it is called good group.
Zhu Zaiwen has been handed down from generation to generation, and he works hard without complaining; this is called responsibility.
