This is the first time I heard that "bamboo has the heroic spirit of "rather breaking than bending" and the strength of "straight in the middle and straight in the outside". In fact, bamboo is "rather bent than broken" and "impossible in the middle but straight on the outside".

The quality of bamboo is "noble" and "knotty", and it is a plant favored by literati.

There are two poems for your reference:

Bamboo

Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty

The green bamboo half contains the casing, and the new shoots are just emerging from the wall .

The color invades the book at night, and it is hidden in the wine.

The rain washes the flowers clean, and the wind blows the fragrance.

But if there is no cutting, you will see Fuyun Chang.

Bamboo and Stone

Zheng Banqiao of the Qing Dynasty

Stand firmly on the green mountains and never relax, the roots are still in the broken rocks;

Stand strong despite repeated hardships Jin, let the wind blow from east to west, north and south.

Bamboo

Zheng Banqiao of the Qing Dynasty

The whole world loves planting flowers, but I only plant bamboo.

The frost and snow are all over the garden, and it is free and easy. Shine green.

It snowed all night in Youhuang, and the sparse shadows lost their green color.

Don’t be blown away by the wind, and the exquisite empty jade will be broken into pieces.
