The answers to the ten famous lotus poems are as follows:
Little Pond
[Song Dynasty] Yang Wanli
The spring silently cherishes the trickle, The shade of the tree shines on the water and the love is clear and soft.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it
Translation:
The soundless spring is like a precious spring flowing with a trickle, reflected in the water The shade of the tree likes the soft scenery on this sunny day.
The sharp corners of the fresh lotus leaves have just emerged from the water, and dragonflies have already landed on them.
This is a quiet, harmonious and vivid picture of a small pond. The spring water is thin; the sunlight is soft; the shadows of the trees are reflected in the spring water, clearly visible. The little tender lotus in the pond has just exposed its tightly wrapped leaf tips, and has already attracted cute dragonflies standing on it.
The lotus at this time, like all newly born things, is so beautiful, making people full of longing and yearning, imagining the grand scene of the lotus leaves stretching in the pool and the lotus blooming.
Sent Lin Zifang off at Jingci Temple at dawn
[Song Dynasty] Yang Wanli
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.
Translation:
This is the scenery of West Lake in June. The scenery is very different from other seasons. Dense layers of lotus leaves spread out, creating an endless expanse of verdant green that seems to be connected to the sky. The lotus flowers in the sun are particularly bright and red.
This is a farewell poem. What kind of scenery should be used to say goodbye? Instead of relying on willows, this lake is surrounded by lotus leaves in the sky and lotus flowers reflecting the sun. The beauty of the West Lake scenery is vividly displayed in this pond of swaying lotus flowers.
The sorrow of separation and the emotions of farewell disappeared in the scene before my eyes. The blue color extending to the horizon, and the unique red lotus flowers, such bright red and green, give the West Lake a heavy makeup in June.
Enjoying the coolness
[Song Dynasty] Qin Guan
Bringing his husband to pursue the coolness outside the willows, he drew the bridge and leaned on the Hu bed on the south bank.
The moon is bright, the boat flutes are rising, and the wind is still in the pond and the lotus flowers are fragrant.
Translation
Go out with your stick to find a holy place to enjoy the cool air. On the south bank of the painted bridge, there are green trees, and it is very comfortable to sit on the beech bed. On a quiet moonlit night, the sound of the flute on the boat lingers in my ears. The evening breeze is beginning to calm down, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom in the pond, and the fragrance is overflowing, refreshing.
Lotus

Translation
The bright green pond water reflects the stars, and the boat sails into the white apple bushes with the sound of "rolling" oars. The lotuses blooming on the water are like the socks of the Fairy Luo Shen, and the fragrance of the Fairy Luo God still remains on the lotus stamens.
Giving lotus flowers
[Tang Dynasty] Li Shangyin
The flowers and leaves in the world are inconsistent, and the flowers enter the golden basin and the leaves become dust.
There are only green lotuses and red lotuses, which can be opened and closed freely.
This flower and this leaf always complement each other, the green is reduced and the red is faded, and the sorrow is killing.
Translation
People in the world have different views on flowers and leaves. They plant flowers in beautiful golden pots, but ignore the flowers and leaves and let them fall into the soil and turn into dust. Only the lotus has red flowers and green leaves. The lotus leaves are curled and relaxed, and the lotus flowers are open and closed. It is so perfect and natural. Lotus flowers and lotus leaves have been intertwined with each other for a long time. It is so sad when the lotus leaves fall and the lotus flowers wither.
