Title A name given to the resource Jade may be shattered, yet its whiteness remains unchanged; Bamboo may be burned, yet its integrity remains unbroken. Description An account of the resource Chinese proverb that extols the virtues of inner strength, purity of character, and moral integrity. It means that a person of honor retains their noble qualities despite suffering hardships or adversity. Jade and its whiteness: In Chinese culture, jade symbolizes purity, nobility, and virtue. The phrase suggests that though a person may endure suffering or defeat (be "shattered"), their fundamental integrity and moral compass (the "whiteness" of the jade) cannot be destroyed. Bamboo and its integrity: The bamboo plant symbolizes many virtues in Chinese culture, including honesty, resilience, and an unyielding spirit. Though a bamboo stalk can be burned and destroyed, its hollow form, representing integrity and humility, remains in the ashes.
