Firmly adhere to the castle peak and not relax, originally deeply rooted in the crevices.

After many trials and tribulations, the bones are still strong and can blow the east and west and the north and south winds.

Bamboo Stone is a seven-character quatrain written by Zheng Xie, a painter in Qing Dynasty.

The original text is as follows:

Bamboo is not relaxed at all, its roots are firmly embedded in the cracks in the rocks.

After thousands of tortures and blows, it is still strong, whether it is the southeast wind or the northwest wind in winter, it can bear it and will still be tough and straight.

This poem is an inscription, inscribed on the author Zheng Banqiao's own bamboo and stone drawings. While praising the tenacity of Yanzhu, this poem also implies that the author despises the tenacity of the secular world.

The first sentence of the poem: "Insist that the castle peak will not relax", first of all, a towering bamboo firmly grasps the image of the gap in the castle peak and presents it to the readers. A word "bite" symbolizes bamboo. Biting is an active action that requires strength. It not only depicts the scene of bamboo climbing to the green hills, but also shows the spirit of bamboo not afraid of difficulties, fighting against nature and tenacious survival.

Following the previous sentence, the second sentence "Rooted in broken rocks" tells us that the foundation of bamboo standing proudly on the green hills lies in its deep roots in broken rocks. Bamboo in Zheng Banqiao's poems and paintings is often inseparable from "stone". Sometimes, the stone constitutes the opposite of bamboo, such as "draw a bamboo branch and insert a stone. The stone is one foot higher than the bamboo branch. Although one foot makes it higher, I will lift my strength for many years";

Sometimes the stone becomes the background of bamboo, for example, "The autumn wind passed Xiaoxiang last night, and I was crazy when I touched the stone through the forest;" Only bamboo branches are not afraid, but they can fight a thousand games. "In this poem, the bamboo and stone are integrated into one mass, and there is no such thing as a stiff mountain green. These two poems also illustrate a simple and profound philosophy: deep foundation and strong power.

With the foreshadowing of the first two sentences, it naturally leads to the following two sentences: "I am still strong after many trials, and I am willing to face the wind in the east, west, north and south." The bamboo in this poem has one characteristic. Not solitary bamboo, not static bamboo, but rock bamboo, wind bamboo. In Zheng Banqiao's poems and paintings, bamboo is often a symbol of noble conduct and tenacious will, while wind is often a representative of evil forces, such as "the autumn wind passed Xiaoxiang last night" as mentioned above, or "a gust of wind rolled back and bamboo branches rose into the sky.

It's really my business to sweep the clouds and fog. I can't just sweep the floor. In this poem, the same bamboo is influenced by the "east, west, north and south winds" all year round. However, because it is deeply rooted in the rock, it is still firm and tenacious.

What kind of wind can do nothing. The poet used the words "thousand" and "ten thousand" to write the indomitable, calm and confident expression of bamboo, which can be said that the artistic conception of the whole poem suddenly emerged. At this time, what stands in front of us is no longer a few ordinary bamboos. What we feel is an indomitable vitality and perseverance, and all this is contained in the rustling bamboo.

In fact, the bamboo in the poem is also the embodiment of the noble personality of the author Zheng Banqiao. In life, the poet is such a kind of rock bamboo that has close ties with the lower class, hates evil and is not afraid of powerful people. Zheng Banqiao's poems on paintings, like his paintings, have a strong three-dimensional sense and can be appreciated as paintings. This poem is like this. Both bamboo and stone are vivid in the poet's pen.

There is no real wind, which is also described as passing by. However, the poet's pursuit is not only in the external shape, but also in every thin and hard rock and bamboo, which injects his own ideals and melts into his own personality, thus making this bamboo stone reveal a profound meaning outside animals and an internal charm.

This is a poem expressing ambition with things, and it is also a poem about things. This poem focuses on the tenacity and persistence of bamboo, the tenacity of rock bamboo, the integrity of iron, indomitable integrity and indomitable character. The language of the poem is simple, lively and persistent.
