There is a world in a grain of sand,
There is an ocean in a drop of water,
All the leaves are the same,
The whole earth is a flower.

Through the description of the identity of flowers and trees in nature, this poem "Unity" infers that there is unity in opposites, glimpses the single essence through various phenomena, and expresses the author's yearning and pursuit for world peace and unity.
"Variety is a lie" is a metaphor that makes people think and set suspense. Everything in the world has its own characteristics, so it presents the appearance of "variety", but in the author's view, the appearance of "variety" is confusing and affects our understanding of the essence of things, just like a lie. The original meaning of "numerous" is varied and colorful. But nature is so simple, all leaves, flowers, fruits and trees are the same, and the whole nature is beautiful, that is to say, all people in the world are equal, and there is no distinction between 369 and 369. Peaceful reunification of the world is the wish of mankind. Therefore, "Variety is a lie".
Someone said, "Because all the leaves are this leaf, you can know all the leaves if you know this leaf." This statement makes sense: it is a cognitive law of human existence to integrate scattered things into unity and sum up the essence of things through their phenomena, so as to achieve a clearer understanding.
"The whole earth is a flower", "flower" is beautiful, everyone likes it, and it represents beauty and peace. "The whole land" refers to the whole world. This sentence means to hope that there will be no war in the whole world and everyone will be equal, which expresses the poet's yearning for peace and shows his broad mind for the peaceful reunification of mankind.
This poem takes leaves, flowers and fruits as metaphors, pointing out that "change is a lie" and revealing the truth of harmony and unity of all things.
The deep meaning of excellent poetry is endless, just like an equation with infinite solutions, it has multiple levels, and different levels are intertwined and refracted, which makes poetry derive different meanings. Different readers read the same poem because of different living environment, cultural tradition, artistic concept and appreciation mood. They will form different aesthetic expectations and make completely different discoveries.
