The bamboo with a hollow mind has a bow, a proud leaf and a plum blossom without a back flower from that poem.

1. A couplet by Zheng Banqiao, a writer in Ming Dynasty, used to describe his spiritual pursuit of being a man. Reading is admirable.

Second, the detailed explanation is as follows:

1, couplet original:

Modest bamboo has curved leaves,

There are no flowers on the proud plum's back.

(Zheng Xie, Zheng Banqiao United)

2. The explanation is as follows:

Only when bamboo is humble in heart can people bow modestly. Plum blossom is arrogant and unyielding, and never flatters others. This couplet is a metaphor for people and an expression of ambition, which captures the characteristics of Meizhu and shows people's beautiful hearts. The first couplet "hanging leaves" means that bamboo is not arrogant and impetuous, and the second couplet "no flowers on the back" means that plums are not kitsch and upward.

3. Appreciate:

Although couplets praise bamboo and plum, they are actually a portrayal of people and themselves. The first couplet talks about the spirit of reading, and the second couplet talks about the character of being a man. Zheng Banqiao is an academic poet and painter, and he is proud of his honesty and frankness. Didn't later generations see the spirit of bamboo and the style of plum in him? This couplet is a masterpiece with simple language, ingenious conception and profound meaning.
