Hsinchu is taller than the old bamboo branch because of the old cadres.

It means that new bamboo is taller than old bamboo, and their growth depends entirely on old branches. From the "Hsinchu" written by Zheng Banqiao in Qing Dynasty, the original poem is as follows:

New bamboo is taller than old bamboo, and their growth is supported by old branches.

I will come out again the next year and grow taller.

The vernacular explanation of the whole poem is that new bamboo is taller than old bamboo, and their growth is supported by old branches. New ones will grow and grow taller next year.

This poem compares shine on you to blue, and the growth of new forces needs the active support of the older generation. The first two sentences are reviews, which not only express that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves, but also express that the younger generation does not forget the support and teaching of the predecessors"; The last two sentences are prospects, which are used to express that the new forces will be better and stronger.
