Bite the castle peak and never let go.

The root has been deeply rooted in the rock.

Tougher after being tempered,

Let the wind come from east, west, north and south.

Appreciation of famous sentences

This poem embodies the tenacity and persistence of bamboo. It is not only a poem praising Yan Zhu's paintings, but also a poem chanting things. At first, the word "persistence" was used to personify Yanzhu, which has conveyed its charm; The last two sentences further describe Yan Zhu's character. After countless hardships, she has grown into a particularly tall and straight figure, and she is not afraid of strong winds from east to west and from south to north. Zheng Xie not only praised the beauty of bamboo poetry, but also painted bamboo vividly. In his words, he painted bamboo to comfort the working people in the world. So this poem is written on the surface of bamboo, but in fact it is written on people, and it is written on the author's own upright and stubborn character. He will never bow to any evil forces. At the same time, this poem can also touch our lives, overcome difficulties and face reality in a tortuous and harsh environment, and be as strong and brave as Yanzhu.
