《竹石》是清代画家郑燮创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗是一首咏竹诗。诗人所赞颂的并非竹的柔美，而是竹的刚毅。前两句赞美立根于破岩中的劲竹的内在精神。
《竹石》 郑板桥
咬定青山不放松，立根原在破岩中。
千磨万击还坚劲，任尔东西南北风。
Bamboo and Rock
Zheng Banqiao
Between broken rocks striking my root deep,
I bite the mountain green and won't let go.
From whichever direction the winds leap,
I remain strong, though dealt many a blow.
