Quest Posted March 1, 2004 at 12:00 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 at 12:00 AM When I think of 竹 or 竹林, I see a forest of eye candy green (翠绿) and there's that sense of elegance. Do the words bamboo and bamboo forest carry such senses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithsgj Posted March 1, 2004 at 04:42 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 at 04:42 AM When I think of mountains and water, I see: Some mountains, and some water. Isn't English prosaic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway bamboo introspection time: hot sweaty trail, dirt in boots, monkeys wanting your camera, panda food and worrying about getting the cane at school.

trooper Posted March 1, 2004 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 at 05:17 PM The word "bamboo" gives me images of pandas, SE Asian jungles, the Bamboo Curtain, Chinese restaurants, reproduction Chinese paintings and tacky wall calendars.
