Poems symbolizing the noble quality of lotus in Ailian's theory.

Ailian said.

The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jin Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone; Since Li Tang came, people all over the world love peony. Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is slim and elegant, so you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous.

Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love of chrysanthemum flowers is rarely heard after Tao; Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for many people.

Love Lotus is an essay written by Zhou Dunyi, a philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty. Through the description of the image and quality of lotus, this paper praises the faithful character of lotus, thus showing the author's noble personality and generous mind.

Among them, the poems that compare the noble quality of lotus are:

Out of the mud without staining, clear without demon, straight without crawling outside, clear fragrance, graceful, but not ridiculous from a distance.
