Green bamboo flourishes along the banks of the Qi River. A true gentleman is similar—polished like jade, imposing, handsome, and radiant. Such a gentleman will never be ignored.

淇奥 诗经

瞻彼淇奥，绿竹猗猗。 有匪君子，如切如磋，如琢如磨。 瑟兮僩兮，赫兮咺兮。 有匪君子，终不可谖兮。 瞻彼淇奥，绿竹青青。 有匪君子，充耳琇莹，会弁如星。 瑟兮僩兮，赫兮咺兮。 有匪君子，终不可谖兮。 瞻彼淇奥，绿竹如箦。 有匪君子，如金如锡，如圭如璧。 宽兮绰兮，猗重较兮。 善戏谑兮，不为虐兮。
