1. Song Dynasty: Su Shi's "Huanxisha·Lotus"
Excerpt from the original text:
There are poplars and lotuses hanging from all sides. I asked where the most flowers are. The sunset and the south bank of the painting building. ?
The weather is suddenly cool and people are lonely, so the time needs to be passed away with wine. Come and listen to the music in the flowers.
Interpretation:
Weeping willows surround Shili Xianghe. May I ask where there are the most lotus flowers? On the south bank of the painting building, the sun sets in the west. The weather suddenly turns cooler, bringing the loneliness of autumn to people. The desolate time needs to be passed away and killed with fine wine. For now, come here among the flowers and listen to the sheng playing and singing.
2. Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin's "Lotus"
Excerpts from the original text:
They are all colorless, but what is the fragrance? Yao banquets are set up to enjoy the coolness, and golden restraints are left late. ?
When I return to my quilt, the lamp shines on my clothes, and when I cross my socks, they are soaked in water. I anticipate farewell in the autumn before, and sing songs in my dreams after separation.
Interpretation:
No other flower can rival the swaying lotus flowers in summer, and its floral fragrance is also unique. General Li's house set up a table to enjoy the cool weather, and I came to travel to Qujiang with the sunset.
After returning from a river trip, I saw the brocade quilt under the candlelight and thought of my beloved. I thought of the scene when you and I met in Qujiang River. You came across the water and wet your socks.
I feel depressed when I think that you and I will be separated before autumn comes. We are so far apart that we can only see each other in dreams.
3. Qing Dynasty: Shi Tao's "Lotus"
Excerpts from the original text:
The five-inch lotus leaves are delicate, and they stick to the waves without hindering the movement of the painted boat;

When the wind blows in April and May, it can cover the waist of a beautiful woman.
Interpretation:
The five-inch lotus leaves hold the delicate lotus flowers, and the lotus leaves are densely attached to the water, but this does not hinder the rippling of the colorful boat. Even though the summer breeze blows slightly in April and May, the height of these lotus leaves and lotus flowers can still cover the beauty's waist.
4. Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu "Picking Mulberries: The West Lake is Good After the Lotus Blooms"
Excerpt from the original text:
The West Lake is good after the lotus flowers bloom, and it is time to bring wine. There is no need for flags, just red buildings and green roofs in front and behind.
The painting boat is pushed into the depths of the flowers, and the fragrance is golden. There was a slight mist and rain, and I returned drunk with music and music.
Interpretation:
The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and the fragrance lingers after the lotus blooms. Boating carries wine and banquets to enjoy the scenery. There is no need for flags and honor guards. There are red flowers as a building and green leaves as a cover. Come.
The painted cruise ship sailed into the depths of the lotus bushes, and the aroma of wine with lotus fragrance appeared on the golden cup. In the evening, there was smoke and light rain, and amid music and singing, the boat carried drunken tourists back.
5. Tang Dynasty: "Lotus in Quchi" by Lu Zhaolin
Excerpt from the original text:?
Floating incense surrounds the curved bank, and its round shadow covers the Huachi.
I am often afraid that the autumn wind will come early and I will not know how it will drift.
Interpretation:
The gentle fragrance lingers around the curved bank of the pool, and the round flowers and leaves cover the beautiful pool.
I often worry that the bleak autumn wind will come too early, causing the lotus flowers to fall before you can fully enjoy them.
