?1. Ode to Bamboo
Southern and Northern Dynasties·Liu Xiaoxian
Bamboo grows in the wilderness and outside, and its branches and clouds tower. Bai?Xun?.
No one can appreciate your high moral integrity, but only you can maintain your chastity.
The shame stained the Hunan concubine's tears, and she entered the palace to play the piano in shame.
Who can make a long flute and sing dragon chants for me?
Bamboo symbolizes integrity and a gentleman. It has the meaning of being upright and persevering in oneself. It is neither flattering nor coquettish and independent. Whether it is steep peaks or rugged ravines, bamboo can withstand adversity with perseverance. Survive tenaciously and stand upright on that land. This is a poem about bamboo, which expresses the poet's steadfast character of not collaborating with the world. It also expresses the poet's emotion about not being recognized for his talent. It also symbolizes that the author, like bamboo, has an unyielding character.

3. Green Pines
Chen Yi? (Modern)
The green pines are heavy with heavy snow, and the green pines are straight and straight.
You must know that the pines are noble until the snow melts.
This poem describes a pine tree that is oppressed by snow, but still stands erect, becoming stronger the more frustrated it becomes, expressing the author's spirit of being willing to bend rather than bend, just like the pine tree.
