First of all, the "hedge bamboo" in the poem can be understood as a symbol, representing people's will and strength, and a manifestation of self-protection and self-persistence. The first sentence, "a piece of green shade is like washing, why bother to protect bamboo?" Described the tranquility of bamboo forest and the power of bamboo shadow. Bamboo can protect itself without the help of other plants. This reflects the quality of self-improvement and perseverance of bamboo, and also expresses that people's spirit should be as independent, tenacious and confident as bamboo.
Secondly, the poem "It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself" is a philosophy of life, which emphasizes the importance of self-reliance. The last sentence, "Bamboo is still a hedge, and it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself", once again emphasizes this view, that is, people should rely on their own strength and live independently. This is not only a guide to personal life, but also an appeal to the country and society, calling on people to have the spirit of self-improvement and not to rely on others.
Generally speaking, this poem expresses Zheng Banqiao's philosophy of life by describing the characteristics of bamboo, that is, self-improvement, perseverance and independence. It is not only a praise for personal quality, but also an exploration of life philosophy, which still has enlightenment significance for our life and work today.
