Basic Traditional Strokes: The Bamboo
Video Demonstration by Haiying Yang
The second of The Four Gentlemen is the graceful and resilient bamboo. It bends, it sways, but does not break. Instead, it springs back. It is the symbol of summer, and represents strength, integrity, vitality, and the spirit that endures in adversity.
Kind of hard to believe it's really a grass. Me, I just really like bamboos. Except for the thorns.
