Poetry: Interpretation of Bamboo Zheng in Qing Dynasty
Section after section, thousands of branches and leaves. I don't blossom, so I don't tease bees and butterflies.
The bamboo grows from section to section, and all the leaves come out. I don't bloom, so that bees and butterflies are not entangled.
Extended data value-added:
The poem describes the lofty integrity of bamboo, not competing with flowers for beauty and fragrance, but also refers to the author's own way of being honest, detached from the secular and close to nature.
