Phyllostachys pubescens is a bamboo species with the longest cultivation history, the widest area and the most important economic value in China. Its rod shape is thick, suitable for buildings, such as beams and columns, scaffolding, scaffolding and so on. Its flexibility is excellent, so it can be used to weave utensils and handicrafts with various thicknesses. But bamboo can not only make exquisite handicrafts for us, but also harvest the true meaning of life in its growth process.
A farmer planted a piece of Phyllostachys pubescens seed in his contracted barren mountain ditch, which was given by a worker when he went to work in the south. Maybe the farmer who grew up in the north has no experience in growing bamboo. When the seeds are sown, only one will survive. Although only one bamboo seedling appeared, the farmer was still very happy. He often waters and fertilizes it. One day, two days, January, February ... To the disappointment of farmers, when the surrounding wormwood and shrubs grew from small seedlings to more than one meter high, the bamboo seedlings remained motionless. In the second and third years ... despite plenty of rain and sunshine, the bamboo seedlings remained motionless.
In the sixth year, after a spring rain, farmers went to the ravine contracted by themselves to have a look. He suddenly found that a bamboo with a height exceeding 1 m rose from the ground. He wants to know why bamboo takes five years to grow! Stranger still, every day after that, the seedlings of Phyllostachys pubescens grew wildly at a speed of 60 cm per day. A month later, the former barren hills and valleys became bamboo gardens. The farmer was surprised and dug in the canyon with a shovel. He found that the underground roots of Phyllostachys pubescens had spread all over the ravine. It turns out that in the past five years, although there are no signs of bamboo seedling growth on the surface, its roots have been growing and spreading in the soil. Do you want to be a wormwood shrub? Or do you want to be a bamboo that jumped up overnight?
Needless to say, most people are willing to make bamboo. If you want to be a bamboo, you must have the bearing of bamboo. This kind of temperament is: sinking feet, enduring loneliness, leaning down, gaining a foothold, expanding roots and accumulating strength, standing still and ready to go. Once the time is right, you will ascend to heaven. In the first five years of planting, Phyllostachys pubescens never competed with other plants to grow tall and grow up. It just clung to the land under its feet, did not abandon the poverty under its feet, did not show off in front of the sun and rain, and just grew quietly. Five years of loneliness, when the spring breeze, spring rain and spring thunder came, Phyllostachys pubescens broke out like a broken bamboo, growing rapidly at a speed of more than 60 centimeters per day, and reaching a height of nearly 30 meters in more than 40 days, swaying other plants through the city far behind. Grassroots is an important platform to realize the value of life, and it is also the best life stage to show talents.
Only through the touchstone of the grassroots can we forge a pair of steel bars and iron bones, truly accumulate the most precious wealth in life, and gain a better foothold in our career.
