关于竹子的诗歌是中国古典文学中一个非常重要且意蕴深远的主题，竹子因其“未出土时先有节，及凌云处尚虚心”的品格，成为了文人墨客心中高尚气节、坚韧不拔和谦逊品格的象征。

以下为您梳理和呈现一些关于竹子的经典诗歌,从不同角度展现其魅力。

开创者与奠基人：魏晋风骨

嵇康《赠秀才入军》

这是中国文学史上最早、最著名的咏竹诗之一,将竹子与人的精神境界完美融合。

诗句： 夜不能寐，徘徊倚松阴。 清风肃肃，松声泠泠。 援琴鸣弦，声激朗。 欲返晨，驾言徂征。 瞻彼崇阿，肃肃其征。 仰瞻云间，鸟高飞。 良友远逝，踌躇徘徊。 矗矗修竹，节节干云。 披林而翔，岂惧罗网？ 世有险难，孰知其故？ 信哉！古人有言： “翩翩飞鸟，息我庭柯。” 安得同心，与我同歌？

【赏析】 这首诗虽然名为《赠秀才入军》，但其后半部分描绘了竹林中松涛阵阵、琴声激昂的场景，尤其以“矗矗修竹，节节干云”一句，将竹子挺拔不屈、直冲云霄的形象刻画得淋漓尽致，它不仅是自然景物的描绘，更是诗人自身品格的写照：即使身处险境，也如修竹般高洁无畏，不愿与世俗同流合污，嵇康与阮籍等“竹林七贤”常在竹林下聚会、清谈、饮酒，竹林成为了他们反抗虚伪礼教、追求精神自由的象征。

唐代：咏物诗的巅峰

唐代咏竹诗数量繁多，风格各异，既有对竹子清雅姿态的描摹,也有对其精神内核的颂扬。

王维《竹里馆》

这首诗以极简的笔墨,勾勒出一幅充满禅意和诗意的竹林隐居图。

诗句： 独坐幽篁里，弹琴复长啸。 深林人不知，明月来相照。

【赏析】 “幽篁”即幽深的竹林，诗人独自坐在竹林深处，弹琴长啸，与自然融为一体，这里的竹子不再是孤傲的象征，而是一个与世隔绝、宁静致远的隐逸空间，它营造了一种空灵、静谧的氛围，体现了诗人追求的“诗中有画，画中有诗”的意境。

白居易《养竹记》

这是一篇咏竹的散文诗，系统地阐述了竹子的“德”,是其品格的宣言。

诗句： 竹似贤，何哉？ 竹本固，固以树德； 竹性直，直以立身； 竹心空，空以体道； 竹节贞，贞以立志。 故人以为竹，君子之道也。

【赏析】 白居易将竹子的物理特性直接升华为君子的道德品质：

• 本固 -> 树立德行
• 性直 -> 立身处世
• 心空 -> 体悟大道（谦虚）
• 节贞 -> 坚定志向（气节） 这篇《养竹记》几乎成了后世文人理解竹子品格的“标准答案”,影响极为深远。

李白《慈姥竹》

李白以豪放的笔触,描绘了竹子的柔美与坚韧。

诗句： 野竹攒石生，含烟映江岛。 翠色落波深，虚声带寒早。 龙吟曾未听，凤曲吹应好。 不学天桃姿，浮荣徒自好。

【赏析】 诗中“野竹”生长于江边石上，翠色倒映在深水中，竹叶摇曳之声带来秋意，李白赞美竹子虽无桃花的娇艳，却拥有内在的风骨和清雅，不追求浮华的虚荣,这体现了他对高洁品格的向往。

宋代：哲理与意趣的深化

宋代文人更注重从竹子中体悟哲理,将咏竹推向了新的高度。

苏轼《于潜僧绿筠轩》

苏轼将竹子提升到了“何可一日无此君”的文化高度。

诗句： 宁可食无肉，不可居无竹。 无肉令人瘦，无竹令人俗。 人瘦尚可肥，士俗不可医。 累尽吾何言，风来竹自啸。

【赏析】 “宁可食无肉，不可居无竹”是千古名句，它将竹子的精神价值置于物质需求之上，苏轼认为，缺少肉食只是身体上的消瘦，而缺少竹子的熏陶，则会使人变得庸俗不堪，这种“俗”是病入膏肓、无法医治的，这里的竹子，是文人精神食粮的象征,是抵抗世俗同化的精神支柱。

郑思肖《画竹》

南宋遗民郑思肖以画竹明志,其诗充满了亡国之痛和民族气节。

诗句： **不问人嫌以竹疏， some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some some
