Ancient poems describing bamboo

1. "Bamboo and Stone" Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie

Stand firmly on the green mountains and not let go, the roots are still in the broken rocks.

After countless hardships, I am still strong, regardless of the wind from east to west, north or south.

Translation: The bamboo clings to the green mountain and does not relax at all. Its roots are firmly rooted in the cracks of the rocks. After countless hardships and blows, my body and bones are still strong, no matter whether you blow the southeast wind in the scorching summer or the northwest wind in the harsh winter.

2. "Ode to Bamboo in Yan Zheng's Mansion" Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

The green bamboo half contains the bamboo, and the new shoots are just emerging from the wall. The color invades the book and it's late, and the wine bottle is cool in the shade. ?

The rain washes the flowers clean, and the wind blows the fragrance. But if there is no cutting, the clouds will grow.

Translation: Half of the tender green bamboos are still covered with bamboo shoots, and the new branches have just stuck out of the wall. The shadow of the green bamboo is projected on the book, making people feel that the light is dimmed. The bamboo shadow moved over the wine bottle and felt cool. The bamboo looks beautiful and clean after being washed by the rain. When the breeze blows, you can smell the faint fragrance. As long as it is not destroyed, you can definitely see it growing to the height of the clouds.

3. "Hsinchu" Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie

Hsinchu is higher than the old bamboo branches, all because of the support of old stems.

Next year there will be another new born, a ten-foot-long dragon grandson circling Fengchi.

Translation: The new bamboo can surpass the old bamboo entirely because of the growth and nourishment of the old bamboo. When new bamboo grows again in the second year, it also begins to breed new bamboo, so that the pond is surrounded by lush young bamboo.
