I think vuluvsa has answered the question. If you analyze the differences between the sentences, you will see the answers. ......因有 = 因......有. This answered the meaning of 因有. 有 = 內在本有. This answered that it's not 坚强之节操. This is an advanced question. So, vuluvsa gave an advanced answer.

<p>This question is about understanding a verse in a poem by Han Yu of the Tang dynasty.</p>

<p>请问韩愈《猗兰操》里“荠麦之茂，荠麦之有”一句作何解释？</p>

<p>此句下一句，即全诗末句，“君子之伤，君子之守”，“言君子居可伤之时，故君子有可见之操守”；那么“荠麦”的比喻，是否是说荠麦茂于雪霜之时，方见其坚强之节操？</p>

<p>《详注韩昌黎诗集》中解释“荠麦之有”，曰：“谓荠麦之因有也。”这个“因有”又是什么意思呢？</p>
