What is the moral of bamboo?

The meaning of bamboo is modesty (because it is hollow), node (bamboo node) and strength (because the seasons are evergreen). I remember the teacher once said that bamboo symbolizes strong character and indomitable spirit, because its trunk bends only where there are joints.

It means that the literati are upright, have solar terms and have backbone.
