The ancient famous sentence praising bamboo:
1. It's still strong after thousands of blows, and it's free from the east, west, north and south winds.
It's from "Bamboo Stone" by Zheng Xie, a poet in Qing Dynasty:
I insist that the green hills are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks.
you're still strong after thousands of blows, and you're free from the east, west, north and south winds.
This poem is a poem about bamboo. This poem is a metaphor for people, and the poet implicitly expresses his noble thoughts and sentiments that he will never go with the flow by praising the bamboo in the rock. The language of the whole poem is simple and profound.
what the poet praises is not the softness of bamboo, but its fortitude. The sentence "Enduring thousands of blows, you are still strong, and you are free from the east, west, north and south winds" writes that the harsh objective environment has honed and tested the bamboo. Regardless of the wind and rain, regardless of the frost and snow, the green bamboo is still "strong" and stands proudly.
2. Spotted bamboo branches, spotted bamboo branches, and tears are sent to send acacia.
It's from "Spotted Bamboo Branches of Xiaoxiang God" written by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty:
Spotted bamboo branches, spotted bamboo branches, and tears send acacia.
Chu guest wants to hear Yao's grievances, and it's late at night in Xiaoxiang.
The poet narrated the story of Shun Di and his two concubines, E Huang and Nv Ying, touching the scene and expressing his nostalgia. The whole poem is full of sadness and lingering thoughts, which embodies the style and characteristics of Dream Ci.
"Bambusa bambusa, Bambusa bambusa, send acacia with tears." Two overlapping sentences, on the one hand, strengthen the sad atmosphere; On the one hand, it evokes and deepens people's impression of traditional stories.
In this overlapping and deep lament, the poet actually melted into his own resentment and pain, from the spots on the bamboo to the tears of the characters, and from the tears of the characters to the lovesickness of the two places.
In the poet's works, Bambusa bambusa became a symbol of passionate lovesickness, a meaningful and elegant image, and it was no longer an ordinary natural scenery.
