Lotus poetry

Lianpengren

Author: Lu Xun

In the celestial world, you can still smell the fragrance of jasper in the wind.

Heron shadows don't come in autumn, and reed flowers are accompanied by dew.

Sweep away the greasy powder to show your character, but learn to make up in red.

Just plant the scale net in Lianxi, and don't fall into the cold pond with the residual leaves.

translate

Lotus people with water chestnut leaves as their stems, like a pure girl, live in Xianxiang.

Even if the autumn wind stops, it is still fragrant.

The autumn wind blows gently, and the egrets have already flown away.

In the cold night, only white reed flowers accompany her to sleep.

She washed away the greasy powder and showed more noble character.

She took off the colorful pretensions of the past, but put on today's simple light makeup.

This is just a comfort to Mr. Lian Xi, who is still standing up neatly.

Always keep elegant and elegant, and never fall into the cold and dirty lotus pond with the residual leaves.

This is a poem that expresses emotion and ambition by borrowing things. Through the description of the appearance of lotus people, the inherent charm of "the wind is still fragrant", the graceful charm of wearing red clothes and learning light makeup, and the noble and upright cultivation, the author describes vivid portraits of lotus people and praises the noble integrity of lotus people and the struggle character of planting lotus ponds in autumn wind. It is under the disguise of lotus's elegant and dusty characteristics that the author entrusts and embodies his contempt for servility and kitsch, his pursuit of beautiful ideals, and his spirit of daring to fight against the secular. Therefore, the whole poem is in the form of chanting lotus leaves and lyrical as the keynote, which is a true portrayal of the author's self-encouragement and self-esteem when establishing himself as a person, and also the author's advice to others.

The whole poem can be divided into four layers. The couplet focuses on the appearance and charm of the Lotus: she lives in the celestial world with water chestnut leaves as clothes and water chestnut stems as belts, which is really noble and elegant, and reflects the author's yearning for a better ideal realm. "Turn Lotus" focuses on the typical environment of lotus people: bleak autumn wind, egrets flying far away, night dew thick, accompanied by reeds, sketching a picture of autumn scenery. This is a portrayal of the author's new approach and independence. Neck couplets mainly describe the spirit of lotus people. Wash powder, remove affectation and put on light makeup, which is more elegant and chic. Is to describe its form and capture its spirit. This is not only a true description of the lotus flower's humanized red makeup but also a false description of the author's struggle with the world. The final couplet focuses on expressing the author's entrustment: lotus flowers are graceful, welcome autumn wind, fight autumn rain and soak autumn dew, and never fall into the lotus pond with residual leaves, and always "show the wind." The author advises others not to go along with vulgar people and always remain independent and upright. At this point in the whole poem, the truer the emotion, the higher the style and the deeper the artistic conception.

This poem expresses the poet's elegant, refined, high-standard and pure personality ideal by describing the beautiful image of the lotus still standing on the bleak lotus pond in cold autumn. Personification and refined thinking are endowed with pure spiritual realm, showing a noble pursuit of character.
