What does Li Shangyin's poem "Give a Lotus" mean?

translate

Flowers and leaves in the world cannot be compared. Flowers are placed in golden pots, but leaves turn to dust. Only the green lotus leaves are lined with red lotus flowers, which are natural whether they are rolled or not. This kind of flowers and leaves set each other off and become interesting. Over time, the color of jadeite decreases and the red fades, which is really sad. Another version of Flowers and Leaves in the world is different. Most people always attach importance to flowers and ignore leaves. Only the green lotus leaves line the unopened lotus flowers. Whether it is on or off, it is natural. Lotus leaves set each other off for a long time, until the lotus leaves decreased and withered. It's really sad

The first two sentences are "flowers and leaves are irrelevant in the world, and golden potted flowers and leaves are dust." What the poet means is that flowers and leaves in the world can't be compared. Flowers are offered in golden pots, but leaves turn to dust. The last two sentences are "only open violet, not red violet, naive." It means that only the green lotus is lined with the red lotus, which is natural whether it is rolled or relaxed. "It means that flowers and leaves set each other off and become interesting. Over time, the emerald color decreases and the red color fades, which is really heartbreaking. The first two sentences of this poem describe two different fates of flowers and leaves. Flowers and leaves in the world have the same root, the same branch length, colorful flowers, different and unique. Once recognized by a discerning person, transplant it into a golden basin and take good care of it. It is the fate of flowers and leaves in the world to turn into dust in the biting wind and rain. These two sentences always describe the happiness of flowers and the misfortune of leaves, and reflect the value of the unique quality of lotus with their incoherence. The word "only" is different from the same, and the following four sentences are based on it, which are translated into the stretching and curling of lotus leaves, the opening and closing of lotus flowers and various charms. This poem praises the "naive" quality of the lotus leaf, in order to praise the virtue of sincerity and not hypocrisy. " Innocence is not only about flowers, but also about people. It describes human nature with gorgeous language and novel ideas. The last two sentences go on to write the "innocence" of lotus leaves. Then, the "long contrast" between these two sentences is mainly manifested in the same decline. These four poems bring out the best in each other, which fully shows the quality of lotus flowers that can flourish and decline.
