Bamboo Stone is a seven-character quatrain written by Zheng Xie, a painter in Qing Dynasty. Whole poem:
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.
Hold fast to the castle peak and don't relax, and the bamboo roots are deeply rooted in the cracks in the rock. After countless hardships, I am still so tenacious, whether it is the east wind or the west wind or the north-south wind.
Creation background: This poem was written by Zheng Xie in his later years. It was inscribed on many of his bamboo and stone paintings. The content and time are different, and the words are slightly different. The rock breaking is the rock breaking, the cliff is steep, and the ten thousand blows are ten thousand folds, and the firm is firm. The east, west, north and south winds used to be strong winds in the southeast and northwest. It can be seen that he loves this poem very much and is often invited to give it to his friends as a gift, in order to express his feelings and express his feelings through things.
Appreciation of works:
This poem is dedicated to bamboo and stone painting. Zheng Xie's painting of bamboo not only shows the natural elegance of bamboo, but also endows it with firmness and noble integrity through poetry, thus expressing his ambition. This poem focuses on bamboo and stone, praising the cold tolerance of bamboo and its roots in the broken rocks of green hills, and pinning its own life and moral ideals.
This poem is simple in language, but profound in meaning. The poet uses the methods of positive description and contrast to describe the vigorous and upright bamboo, which embodies the poet's noble moral integrity. Writing about the "tenacity" of bamboo means writing about the tenacity and strength of people. The poem is based on the hard rocks of the green hills, saying that bamboo sticks to the green hills, takes root in the broken rocks, and can withstand "numerous tests" and strong winds in all directions.
