Bamboo personifies the life of simplicity. Bamboo is used in every phase of Chinese living, yet it needs very little care to grow and flourish. It produces neither flowers not fruit, and the hollow trunk reminds us of humility, with an open heart free of arrogance.
Bamboo is a symbol of longevity because of its durability, strength, flexibility and resilience. It survives the harshest conditions, standing tall and staying green all year around. When the storm comes, bamboo bends with the wind. When the storm ceases, it resumes its upright position. It copes with extreme adversity, yet still stands with immense strength.
Its flexibility and adaptability are a lesson to us all that the secret of a long happy life is to go with the flow.
