In ancient times, people loved to use plants as metaphor for people. Gentlemen were the general impression of bamboo. They said that they adhered to themselves, were not afraid of coercion and inducement, were upright, had integrity, and were modest. When we watch historical costume plays, we can see the figure of bamboo in the courtyard. The ancients even said that "you can't live without bamboo". The explanation is to use bamboo as a metaphor for yourself, which is different from people who only pursue worldly fame and wealth.
It is said that bamboo is the representative of non yielding, even if it bends, it will not be broken. There is a noble and upright spirit in the body, with the demeanor of a gentleman. That is, positive, decent and masculine.
The vitality of bamboo is the longest among plants, so people also use bamboo as a metaphor for longevity and peace.
Bamboo has always been a green color since it sprouted. People call it plain face to the sky, simple and simple, not as delicate as flowers, but it can only last for a few days
In fact, in our daily life, the bamboo we know has many symbolic meanings, such as selfless dedication, tenacity and concentration, light and elegant, etc. Since ancient times, bamboo has been used by scholars to recite poems and draw paintings. The meaning of bamboo is also the artistic conception they pursue. Many famous literati and calligraphers have written poems and paintings for bamboo, which is priceless up to now. At the same time, bamboo is also the spiritual symbol of our country.
