Zhou dunyi
The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jinyuan clearly loves chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang came, people all over the world have loved peonies. Give the only lotus a ripple that is muddy but not dirty, clear but not demon, straight through, not creeping, fragrant and clear, delicate and graceful, and can be viewed from a distance without lewdness.
Have fun. Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love between chrysanthemums and flowers is rarely heard after Tao. Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for many people.
A Classic Ancient Poetry —— Zhou Dunyi's "The Theory of Love Lotus"
Zhou Dunyi, Uncle Mao, was later named Mr. Lianxi. When he was young, he loved reading, ambitious and knowledgeable. Later, he studied the Book of Changes. With the help of relatives and friends, he became a small official and resigned soon. He settled in a church at the northwest foot of Lushan Mountain, founded Lianxi Academy and began to give lectures. Zhou Dunyi is the founder of China's Neo-Confucianism, and his Neo-Confucianism plays a connecting role in the history of China's philosophy. He is regarded as the founder of Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism.
There are many kinds of amphibious herbs and woody flowers, which are worth loving. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since Li's Tang Dynasty, most people in the world like peony, but I only like lotus.
In the fourth year of Song Xining, Zhou Dunyi, a famous Neo-Confucianism scholar, came to Xing Zi with the army of Nankang. Zhou Dunyi was honest and indifferent, and loved Lian all his life. After Zhou Dunyi came to Xing Zi, he dug a pond in Jidong, which was full of lotus flowers. When Zhou Dunyi came to Yukiko, he was old and ill, so every time after dinner, he was alone, or invited friends from three or five aides to enjoy flowers and tea in Chi Pan, and wrote a well-known essay "Love Lotus".
