The ancient poems describing lotus include the following:
1. "Walking off to Lin Zifang from Jingci Temple at dawn": After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons. The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red.
The author of this poem is Yang Wanli, a poet from the Song Dynasty. Yang Wanli, together with Lu You, You Miao and Fan Chengda, was known as the "Four Great Poets of the Southern Song Dynasty", and his reputation was at its peak. His poetry writing style is mainly fresh and natural, full of interest in life, making people feel the extraordinary beauty in ordinary life, which is worth chewing and savoring.
2. "Little Pond": The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the clear and soft water. The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it. The author of this poem is still Yang Wanli. Yang Wanli is good at observing life and writing daily life into poetry, which shows that he has the unique insight of a poet and can write poetry in the subtle and ordinary places.
3. "Su Luo's Pavilion Conveys Cui Yong and Cui Gun": The bamboo dock is dust-free and the water sill is clear, and the lovesickness is separated from the city. The autumn clouds linger and the frost flies late, leaving the withered lotuses to listen to the sound of rain.
The author of this poem is Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Friends who have read "Dream of Red Mansions" should remember that Lin Daiyu once said that she did not like Li Shangyin's poems, but she only loved the line "Leave the lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain". Lin Daiyu has a quiet temperament and is sentimental. The incomplete beauty of this "remnant lotus" is indeed in line with her aesthetics.
