Throughout the ages in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, bamboo has signified the Confucian value of moral virtue. A person who is mentally and spiritually strong is just like a stalk of bamboo; flexible enough to bend with whatever life presents, but reliable and tough enough to stand strong and keep growing. Its reliability and steadfastness represent virtuousness. Also, the inside of a bamboo stalk symbolizes a sound mind clear of negative thoughts and feelings. In Chinese culture, sparrows are auspicious. They are symbolic of spring and happiness. The sound of sparrows chattering in the bamboo soothes the spirit and opens the heart to good fortune.
