	The orchid (兰花) grows in mountains. People name it one of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. It is a symbol of elegance (优雅) because it looks nice and soft in the wind.
	The bamboo is thin but strong. It’s a symbol of tolerance (耐力) and open-mindedness (豁达). Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without the bamboo” in his poem to show his love for the bamboo.
