Don’t let go of the green hills, and keep your roots in the broken rocks. It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south. ——Zheng Xie's "Bamboo and Stone"

The flowers bloom in spring, and are driven back to dust by rain and wind; the bamboos are strong and graceful, and they are proud of the frost and snow.

Bamboo is my teacher to relieve the weak heart - Bai Juyi

The strength is strong and strong, not protected from snow and frost, so it is hard; the green leaves are luxuriant, the green jade is floating, so it is soft; it is open-minded and Straight, hiding nothing, is loyal; being tall and tall regardless of the roots must be dependent on promotion and beauty, which is righteousness; although the spring yang is strong, the people do not compete with other trees for glory, which is humility; the four seasons are consistent, and there is no difference in prosperity or decline. Heng Ye.

——Liu Yanfu's "Plant Records"
