Translation and Annotation of Lotus Picking Songs by Ruoye River In summer, beautiful lotus pickers pick lotus seeds in twos and threes. Through the lotus flowers, people laugh and the lotus flowers set each other off in red. The sun shines on the new makeup of the lotus picker, and the bottom of the water is bright. When the wind blows, the clothes are lifted in the air, and the fragrance of lotus flowers is floating. Whose is Yu Yelang wandering on that shore? Lying in the shade of weeping willows in 3355. The purple-tailed horses around me neigh and rumble, and the fallen flowers fly away one after another. Seeing this beautiful scenery, the poet lingered and was heartbroken.

Appreciation of Lotus Picking Songs Li Bai's poems show the delicate and pure lotus pickers in wuyue, and set off the charm of lotus pickers by wandering on the shore, depicting a bright, lively and generous new image of lotus pickers. The language is elegant, natural and unpretentious, which shows the poet's elegant, fresh and refined posture in one go. It makes up for the pallor and vanity of the image of lotus picking girls since the Six Dynasties.
The first sentence: the lotus girl by the river will laugh at the lotus. The girls picking lotus flowers by the stream are laughing and playing through the lotus flowers, or it is drizzling gently, or a little breathless. Lotus field, hibiscus blossoming, and a smiling girl's pink cheek complement each other, just as Wang Changling said in "Lotus Picking Song", "You can't see when you enter the pool, you can't hear the song and you can't hear people." Across the lotus, there seems to be a hazy beauty, full of interest and life. Laughing at the Lotus vividly shows the happy dialogue of the lotus picking girl holding the lotus hand.
The second sentence: Rizhao's new makeup is bright under the water, fragrant in the wind and uplifting in the air. Mild sunshine, thick new makeup, clear running water and lingering charm of fragrant sleeves outline a fresh and bright lotus picking picture, which is lively and natural. I don't know if the lotus picking girl is waving or deliberately fiddling with it. She holds up the fragrant sleeves high, and the new makeup carefully prepared by the lotus picking girl is reflected on the river. The most important thing is that the idle flowers that bow their heads shine on the water, revealing a shy expression, as shy as the cool breeze blowing, just like "looking at flowers in the mirror before and after, contrasting the pictures", making people unable to tell the difference between flowers. These two sentences outline the beautiful artistic conception of "lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and lotus leaves are sweet". If you hear its voice, you will see its people, and you will feel a kind of vitality and the inner joy of lotus pickers. The so-called "Ling can't sing at all, but you know it in this pond".
The third sentence: Who will come to the shore to see Yelang, and the weeping willows will be reflected in 3355. Laughter and laughter attracted the wandering yelang on the shore, and I don't know whose son it was. It seemed to be hidden under a weeping willow. We can imagine how shy the lotus-picking girl will be in front of you Yelang on the shore. The so-called "women's complacency" is beyond words. The shyness in Li Bai's works has not been pointed out, but is associated with "the sunshine is shining underwater and the air is fragrant", which has a bright and charming romantic artistic conception and a fresh and refined style. Poets put them in the lush lotus leaves, set off their beauty with the wandering gestures of the wandering yelang, and wrote Luo Fu in Yuefu, which was more euphemistic and vivid.
The fourth sentence: the purple elephant hissed and crashed into the fallen flower, and it was heartbreaking to see this wandering empty thing. The poet is riding a purple ribbon, the horse is neighing, the flowers are stunned, and the scenery is empty, which makes people feel sad and heartbroken. It is full of the poet's sigh that time flies and the time is unforgiving, as well as the helplessness of the beautiful scenery. It entrusts the author's melancholy caused by his lack of talent and ambition, which is different from his usual style of free and easy self-confidence, frankness and unrestrained, fresh and elegant, and it is thought-provoking with delicate and gentle brushwork. "Wandering heartbroken" seems to be a heartbroken person at the end of the world. Just like his "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone", he is aloof from the moon shadow, but he still feels lonely. Li Bai, who has always been heroic, also has unavoidable sadness in life.
The poet writes the wind and makes the song of picking lotus. The scenery is charming because of feelings, and the feelings are strong because of the scenery, and there is no suspicion of piling up. Fresh and natural, still as romantic as ever.
