Said Su Dongpo, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty in China, "There are bamboo tiles for shelter, bamboo hats for shading, bamboo paper for writing, bamboo rafts for carrying, bamboo skin for clothing, bamboo shoes for wearing, bamboo shoots for eating and bamboo fuel for fires. Indeed we cannot live without bamboo for a single day."
Li bai poem-Hearing A Bamboo Flute On A Spring Night In Luoyang
chūn yè luò chénɡ wén dí
春 夜 洛 城 闻 笛
shuí jiā yù dí àn fēi shēnɡ ， sàn rù chūn fēnɡ mǎn luò chénɡ 。
谁 家 玉 笛 暗 飞 声 ， 散 入 春 风 满 洛 城 。
cǐ yè qǔ zhōnɡ wén zhé liǔ ， hé rén bù qǐ ɡù yuán qínɡ ！
此 夜 曲 中 闻 折 柳 ， 何 人 不 起 故 园 情 ！
Hearing A Bamboo Flute On A Spring Night In Luoyang
From whose house come the notes of a jade flute unseen?
They fill the town of Luoyang, spread by wind of spring.
Tonight I hear the farewell song of "Willow Green."
To whose ear nostalgic feelings won't it bring?
