It's the season suitable for picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River. Lotus leaves surfaced, squeezed, overlapped and fluttered with the wind. Beneath the thick lotus leaves, cheerful fish are constantly playing. I stayed here for a while, and then I suddenly swam there. I don't know whether it is in the east, west, south or north.

Brief introduction of Yuefu poems:
Qin has Yuefu and is an official of Shaofu. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Yuefu Order was established, which was in charge of the ancestral temple sacrifice. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Yuefu, made elegant music and collected folk songs. The Yuefu poems in Han Dynasty are mainly preserved in seven of the twelve categories of Guo Maoqian's Yuefu poems in Song Dynasty, including elegant music of symphonic music, eighteen songs of worship, and folk songs mainly composed of harmony songs, dance songs and miscellaneous songs.
Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty are rich in content, reflecting the broad social life at that time, and are vigorous and fresh in art. Their poetic forms of five-character, seven-character and miscellaneous words are the pioneers of literati's five-character and seven-character poems, and they are precious wealth in the history of Chinese poetry.
