1. Description
Bamboo is one of the most popular subjects found in Chinese painting. The noble bamboo is a symbol of old age and modesty. The bamboo grows in dense groves and symbolize resilience and integrity because it bends in the strong wind but return to their upright position. Delicate in appearance yet known for its strength, its slender stems and lush covering of delicate leaves represents durability and vigor. Unknown to many, bamboo is a grass and not a tree. Together bamboo and plum trees represent man and wife. Bamboo, pine trees, and plum trees together are known as the “Friends in Winter” because all three grow tall and straight even in the coldest weather. The three together are a symbol of lasting friendship. 2. Details
