【Glyph evolution】
Bamboo, oracle bones like six leaves hanging down on two thin branches. The jinwen basically inherits the oracle bone glyph. The text strengthens the image of the leaves drooping and the leaves piled into clusters. The seal text inherits the gold glyph. Original meaning: noun, temperate or tropical grasses, hollow, knotted, long shoots. The writing is written as two "ones". In ancient glyphs, "艸" (卄) and "bamboo" are similar but opposite: the leaves are "艸" (草) facing up, and the leaves are "bamboo" facing down.

【The Story of the Word】
Bamboo stone
Qing Zheng Zheng Xie
Firmly believe that the green mountain does not relax, and the root is in the broken rock.
Thousands of grinding blows are still strong, and Ren'er's east, west, south and north winds are strong.
Translation: Firmly clinging to the green mountain and not relaxing, it was originally deeply rooted in the cracks of the stone. Thousands of grinding blows to the bones are still strong, allowing you to blow east, west, south and north winds.
Interpretation: Zheng Xie (1693~1765), Qing Dynasty calligrapher and poet. Zi Kerou, Banqiao, Xinghua (present-day Xinghua, Jiangsu) people. Good at painting bamboo, orchid, stone, calligraphy is famous for "six and a half books", poetry is also very well written, so it is called "three absolute". His paintings are unique in the world of painting. Together with Luo Ping, Li Fangyi, Li Eel, Jin Nong, Huang Shen, Gao Xiang and Wang Shishen, they are called the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou".
What the poet praises is not the femininity of bamboo, but the fortitude of bamboo. Regardless of the wind and rain, let the frost and snow freeze, the green bamboo is still "strong" and stands proudly. "Thousands of grinding blows" and "southeast and northwest winds" are extremely harsh tests. This poem borrows things as a metaphor for people, and the author implicitly expresses his noble ideological sentiments that will never go with the flow by chanting the bamboo in the broken rock.
