At the beginning of this poem, the lotus-picking girl and the surrounding natural environment are cleverly combined into a harmonious and unified whole - "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus blooms on both sides of the face." Said the woman The skirt is as green as a lotus leaf, which is just a common metaphor; and what is written here is a girl picking lotus, standing in a lotus pond, saying that the lotus leaves and the skirt are the same color, that is the "local scenery", and it is "Fu" It's not "competition" anymore, it looks lively and pleasant, with both simplicity and glamorous style.
The hibiscus in the second sentence is lotus. It is not a new metaphor to say that a girl's face is as rosy and beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from the water. But "the hibiscus blooms on both sides of the face" is not just a metaphor, but paints a beautiful picture: the face of the lotus-picking girl is hidden among the blooming lotus flowers, and it looks like the bright lotus flowers are facing the girl's face. open.
The third sentence, "Invisible when entering the pool," closely follows the first two sentences. Chaotic entry means to mix in or mix in. The lotus leaf skirt and the hibiscus human face seem to be one and the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them. It can only be barely distinguished when Dingqing takes a closer look. Therefore, if you look wrong for a moment, the girl picking lotus and the green lotus and the red lotus are one and the same, and suddenly disappear. No trace.
This description adds to the vividness and poetic connotation of the picture, making it seem like a scene of ten acres of lotus ponds, with lotus flowers in full bloom, and the singing of water chestnuts everywhere. The situation, and the youthful and joyful mood of the lotus-picking girls also permeated the lotus pond where people were singing but no one was there.
Until the end, the author still does not let the protagonists of the painting appear clearly on the picture. The purpose is not only to use them as the embodiment of beautiful nature, but also because of such description, it can leave endless leisurely feelings. of interest.
