"The next day, the lotus leaves are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers are of different colors." This sentence comes from a poem by Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty, "Dawn Out of Jingci Temple, Stay in the Woods".
Original poem:
Chu Xiao Jingci Temple saw Lin Zifang off.
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
It is the scenery of the West Lake in June, which is really different from other seasons.
Lotus leaves will not turn green the next day, and lotus flowers are particularly bright red in the sun.
Interpretation of poetry:
The scenery of the West Lake in June is different from other seasons.
Thick lotus leaves spread out layer by layer, connected with the blue sky, endless green; Graceful lotus flowers are in full bloom, especially bright and red under the sunshine.
Poetry appreciation:
Yang Wanli's poems are good at drawing lines. In this respect, this is one of his representative works. From an artistic point of view, besides line drawing, this poem has two points worthy of attention: first, the coexistence of reality and falsehood. The first two sentences are straightforward, just general and empty; The last two sentences describe and show the concrete image, which is true. The combination of reality and reality complements each other. The second is to combine rigidity with softness. The lotus leaf and lotus flower written in the last two sentences are generally classified as feminine, but the poet writes very magnificently and has a broad realm, with "heaven" and "heaven". Language is also very imposing: "connecting the sky" and "infinite". In this way, masculinity and femininity are harmoniously unified in poetry.
