The content of the composition "Ode to the Lotus": Lotus, throughout the ages, has been praised by many people.

The refreshing fragrance floats from the lake. The further you go, the more clearly you can see the dark green on the lake. Ah, here we are, Lotus Island!

The first thing that comes into view is What you see is dotted with tall and graceful lotuses. The pink lotuses are dripping with dew; the white lotuses are raining, bright and flawless; the ones in full bloom, with tender pistils shaking yellow; the budding ones, coquettish and coquettish. In addition, the green cover is covered with emerald green. , the blue ball rolling ball, such a charming scene.

I sat down on a big blue stone and thought about it. Many poems about lotus by the ancients came one after another... Yes, lotus! How many people have praised you, I have described you and given you many beautiful names. In addition to the lotus, the lotus is also called lotus, hibiscus, hibiscus, lotus root, water fungus, water rhizome, Zezhi, water Dan, water bloom, jade ring, etc. "The Book of Songs", China's oldest collection of poems, contains the sentence "Beside the river, there are cattails and lotuses". The patriotic poet Qu Yuan once imagined in "Li Sao" that "gathering lotus to make clothes". Cao Zhi in the Wei and Jin Dynasties used lotus flowers The beauty of Luo Shen in his ideal was described: "Looking at it with force, it shines like a green wave from a lotus." Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty once used lotus to express his love. His "Folding the Lotus and Receiving a Gift" wrote: "Wade across the river to play in the autumn water." , I love the fresh red lotus. I climb the lotus and play with its pearls, but the ripples are not round. The beautiful woman picks them from the clouds, wanting to give them to the distant sky. I miss the love without any reason, and look forward to the cool breeze with regret." Bai Juyi described the lotus as neither light nor slow, A character that should not be played with: "A rose with thorns should be climbed up in a lazy way, and it is difficult to play with the thorns in the mud." In addition, many poets have written many beautiful and picturesque sentences either for their freshness or their beauty. For example, Yang Wanli's "Think of the wind blowing the Dragon Boat Festival, and the world of lotus willow silk town"; Su Shi's "The lotus turns white in the wind, and the lotus cheeks fade away in the rain", etc. There are also many people who use lotus to describe beauties. However, there is an exception, which is the use of lotus as a metaphor. Man. "Book of Tang·Biography of Yang Zaisi" records: Changzong was blessed with his appearance, Zaisi said every day, people say that Liulang is like a lotus, which is not true; it is true that the lotus is like Liulang's ears. His clever flattery is shameless, and this is the blasphemy of the lotus. For example, this matter has been passed down as a joke for thousands of years. Lu Xun once used this allusion to mock a shameless scholar and said: "It is rare that a lotus flower is like a six-legged man." Probably with this special exception, all songs in Chinese classical literature are Of lotus. These songs are not only scattered in many poems or other works, but also there are many "biographies" dedicated to lotus. Cao Zhi wrote "Hibiscus Ode", which ranked lotus as the first among all flowers; Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty, I was completely dissatisfied with many previous works on lotuses, so I specially wrote a poem called "Ode on Plucking Lotus", which was actually not that good. However, Zhou Dunyi's "On Love of Lotus" is worth mentioning. This prose has not many words, but it is However, it describes the special character of the lotus flower that "comes out of the mud but is not stained, and washes the clear ripples without being evil". Among the many works that chant lotus, it is not unique, but this masterpiece was written by Mr. Zhou Dunyi, the founder of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. It makes people feel regretful...

Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew, a burst of fragrance came, and the lotus leaves in the fields swayed gently, pouring "pearls" into the lake. My association was interrupted Looking at the scene in front of me, a strange thought came to me, mixed with a hint of injustice. I boldly imagined: What would happen if these lotus leaves were removed? What if there were only one bare lotus left? Can the scenery be so charming if it is alone? From an aesthetic point of view, the lotus leaf is an integral part of beauty. If you lose this part, you will lose the beauty. From a biological point of view, you can't do anything without leaves. Without photosynthesis, these beautiful lotus flowers, lotus pods, and lotus roots would never grow. Aren’t those lotus leaves worthy of praise? Can they only appear as a foil in the poems of the ancients?

Look, these lotus leaves are dark green, round and thick. For many years, they have been silently occupying the "foil" position imposed on them by people. They are red as hibiscus on the top and white as jade lotus root on the bottom. In midsummer, they never compete with others. The wind, on the contrary, is like a round fan that brings bursts of fragrance. What a simple and unpretentious character! They are selfless. The first rain after a long drought is like rain from the sky, but this water is as precious as pearls. They are selfless. Not a drop of it touches their lips. They always carefully preserve the water, which should be reserved for the fish in the lake! When the wind and rain hit, they are closely united and connected together, not afraid of the wind and rain. , even if they turn over, they will selflessly protect the blossoming lotus flowers; when the scorching sun spits fire, they all hold up their green covers to block the heat and quietly watch the fish and shrimps swimming in the shade. They are open-minded and straightforward. Zhongtong, the sun and moon can be included in the heart, and insects never dare to invade. When people cut off the lotus leaves from the stems, thousands of threads are connected to the roots, which is proof that they have not forgotten the kindness of the lake and pond. .
