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.
When I was studying poetry, my teacher always said how beautiful this poem was when I talked about it! It's really beautiful. But in fact, this poem is not about scenery, but about management and power symbols. Why do you say that?
There is a person in the title-Lin Zifang. During the Southern Song Dynasty, he was the secretary on duty in the emperor's office (cabinet secretary), responsible for drafting letters for the emperor. Later, the emperor transferred Lin Zifang to be a magistrate, and Lin Zifang changed from a middle-level cadre to a mayor, which was naturally very happy. As Lin Zifang's superior and good friend, Yang Wanli, the author of the poem, is unwilling to let Lin Zifang go, because he thinks that Lin Zifang can only have greater development if he stays in the capital and stays with the emperor.
But I can't tell you clearly, because all the literati in China like to be implicit, so they had to be implicit in that feudal era. So in this place in Jingci Temple, two people say goodbye, through the lotus, Yang Wanli gave Lin Zifang career advice:
"After all, the West Lake is in the middle of June." The West Lake refers to Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and June in the lunar calendar is the hottest time in Hangzhou. So this sentence implies: after all, you are in the capital, in the most abundant, powerful and hot position.
The scenery is different from the four seasons. Your future in the capital is much better than being a mayor in a small city. Why do you say that? Please look at the next sentence.
"The lotus leaf in the sky is infinitely beautiful", and the "heaven" in the sky refers to the son of heaven. That is to say, Xiao Lin, even if you are an ordinary lotus leaf, because you are the secretary of the son of heaven, you are easy to be recognized, and your future is boundless, "infinitely beautiful"!
"Lotus reflects the sun in a different color" and "sun" refers to the emperor. This sentence refers to working under the son of heaven, even if you only make a little achievement, because you are the person around the son of heaven, the son of heaven is easy to see and the people around you are easy to recognize, so even "red" is an alternative "red"! So Yang Wanli's core is to persuade Lin Zifang not to leave this post. Being Tian Zi's assistant and accumulating resources is much better than being a small head in other places. With "another kind of red" and "infinite blue", and so young, working with the son of heaven will have greater development.
As a result, Lin Zifang didn't recognize it and said "good poem, good poem" with a poem. Like most of our Chinese teachers, he even praised the beautiful scenery of this poem, and then rode off on the donkey. As a result, this Lin Zifang disappeared in this vast history, and we can't find this person anymore.
