Chapter 1: Lotus Prose The lotus in Hetao is blooming again. I went to see the lotus with my family. The evening breeze ushered in a burst of fragrance, and the endless green was shrouded in the golden glow, and the green water was dotted with a lot of red. Looking at her daughter's moving figure, she seemed to melt into the endless sea with the leaves of that field in the boundless green. The water is dense, the lotus light is dazzling, and the lotus leaf is transparent. In this faint twilight of the canal, it is like an elegant picture.
Since ancient times, people have defined the lotus flower as "the flower of a gentleman", which reminds me of Zhou Dunyi's famous sentence "Mud comes out without dye, clear without demon" in the Northern Song Dynasty. Approaching the lotus, there are single petals and many petals; There are pink, pure white and red ones. The elegant fragrance attracts dragonflies to fly around, accompanied by the elegance that people yearn for lotus flowers throughout the ages. The most beautiful single red and white lotus is as elegant as a beautiful and pure girl. The bud of youth, the lotus wind blows, and the flowers dance lightly by the wind. "The gentlest bow is like the shyness of the invincible lotus in the cool breeze." The beautiful scenery of fleeting time is still there. Looking back at my first love, she turned slightly red and gently lowered her head. I have a soft spot for that charm.
Lotus is graceful, and lotus is my favorite. My daughter is always curious. She peeled off Tsing Yi, counted how many lotus seeds were hidden in the lotus, explored her own soul, and looked for the secrets hidden in the lotus ... This once again reminded me of what Zhou Dunyi wrote in "Love Lotus": "Love the lotus, the mud will not touch, the ripples will be clear but not evil, and the flowers will be straight, lingering, fragrant and clear, graceful and quiet. Although lotus is weak and easy-going, it is also resolute. Residual lotus drums at dusk. The withered lotus flower was nailed to the lotus leaf. The brown and yellow lotus gradually withered and remained on the water. Year after year, the diameter is still tall and straight, and one is independent and stands tall, which makes me deep in thought. Suddenly, I found a pair of old people who helped each other, and then I looked at the lotus and felt reverence.
Lotus, blooming leisurely, seems to have nothing to do with the hustle and bustle of life. Even if the dew is crystal clear and lovely, it is a foreign object after all. Let it roll down on the lotus leaf and return to nature. The more there is no load, no burden, and the more relaxed, the lotus blooms freely and elegantly. Isn't it?
That's right, the lotus is not stained with mud, but it is immune to itself. On the contrary, it has left people with the reputation of "clear water produces hibiscus". He also quoted people as saying that "the spring breeze is elegant and can hold things, and the autumn water articles are free from dust."
I think, people who don't love lotus probably can't appreciate its purity and loneliness!
Seeing my wife, I smiled, and my heart really melted in this charming Hechi.
The second chapter: The prose describing lotus finally arrived at Xizi Lake by bus, carpool and taxi from the suburbs.
Long-lost West Lake, here we are, from the mountainous area of western Hubei!
"West Lake-good morning!"
"West Lake-Hello!"
I thought to myself.
On the bank of the West Lake, the willows and osmanthus flowers are fragrant, and tourists are weaving, enjoying the scenery and taking pictures. Couples are sneaking around, and children are dangling in their parents' arms, making naughty faces from time to time.
My grandson, in particular, followed us, and we followed the usual steps. But for this little guy, we had to run all the way, and the heat covered his head. Sweat on my forehead and cheeks oozed out, and under the sunlight, it was lifelike, much like a glittering pearl sliding and rolling.
On the left side of Baigong Causeway is endless clear water, and several cruise ships paddle their boats out of the clear lake. The tourists on board looked upside down in all directions, as if to have a panoramic view of the "Leifeng Sunset" in Jinshan Temple in the distance; The crescent lake on the right is full of sweet leaves, green and crowded. You won't let me and I won't let you play with your green skirt. Golden buds are like goblets, touching each other, just like coming to a grand banquet. They are all open, half-open and half-closed, and there are just bone buds, which are different in shape and posture.
Along the long beach, while walking, we enjoyed the wonderful scenery of "the lotus leaves are infinitely bright, and the lotus flowers reflect different colors in the sun".
If I have a paintbrush with me at this time, I will splash ink and enjoy it. It's a pity that I don't have a brush and rice paper around me, so I have to raise my mobile phone, quickly turn on the camera and take a few precious shots, so that her memory with me will last forever.
Unconsciously, we came to the end, and then turned and walked back. It is still Wanghu Lake, a green lotus leaf, or a lotus with a smile. With the fragrance of flowers, my heart is drunk.
When we arrived at the "Quyuan Fenghe", we walked into the octagonal pavilion and sat by the column, fascinated by the gold couplets on the colonnade in front of us.
"In June, the lotus filled the lake, and the red and green fans reflected the clear waves. Mulan's boat is like a flower girl, and there are many lotus buildings. " , "Jian bubble in Bifeng, while Ying friends stay in the forest. Zhu Lanmeng entered the secluded place, and Borun Pan Qing was full of flowers. "
Outside the pavilion, there is a lake. Lotus leaves and lotus flowers are crowded on the lake. The most striking thing is that the lotus as white as jade is dignified and pure. It's really: "Mud comes out without dye, clear without demon." Lotus leaves hold those crystal-clear lotus flowers, and the green leaves in the field are covered with crystal-clear agate-like water drops, which also guard the graceful lotus flowers and fat flower bones. The colors of lotus are divided into white, pink and red, which are very beautiful. When there is wind, lotus flowers sway like dancing. When there is no wind, she stands still, like a daughter to be married. There are little dragonflies flying freely, as if watching lotus flowers with us, and there are small fish swimming around happily in the water. There is a lotus in this big pond, one of which is the most beautiful. Its stem is bright green with many dark green spots on it. Lotus petals have two layers, the outer layer spreads out in all directions, and the inner layer petals are surrounded by a round light green immature lotus. The top of the petal is red, and gradually it is pink, as if the painter had dipped it with a brush, and the dividend was drawn from top to bottom. Each petal is like a big spoon. There is a bud next to it, and the petals are tightly held together, like a ripe peach. Lotus flowers are all like umbrella-shaped lotus leaves, and many small drops of water shine in the sun, just like crystal clear pearls. More like a slowly unfolding ink pastoral landscape painting.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of the garden, I can't help feeling nostalgic, and then I sincerely admire the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the garden!
I like lotus not only because of its graceful dancing, but also because of its wide use and practical value. But because it symbolizes people who can still live a clean and honest life in a dirty environment, and symbolizes an independent life that is not bound by the secular and pursues freedom and ideals.
Sketch 3: Description of Lotus Although the lotus in Daming Lake lives in Jinan, it seldom walks into the mountains of Jinan, gets close to the spring water of Jinan and feels the clouds in the lake because of its too calm mood. Recently, I saw Mr. Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, and suddenly I felt very elegant, so I went to the lotus pond for a walk and a look. So, on that day in early autumn, I walked into Daming Lake, which I hadn't seen for many years.
"The reflection is blue, and the clear wave reflects the painting building." Entering Daming Lake, the clear water waves rippled pavilions, flowers and trees brushed the secluded cloisters, willows swayed the curved bridges along the lake, swaying boats cut the reflection of Foshan, fish jumped onto the waves jumped into the mystery of swimming in the sea, and kites and birds skimmed the water flew out of the legend of celebrities.
Those ten hectares of lotus flowers, white as snow and red as chardonnay, passed through the bright moon of Qin and Han dynasties, still "emerged from the mud but not dyed", and flew away from the time of the Six Dynasties, still "rippling without demon"; Her style in Tang dynasty is still "straight through, not loose", and the rain of Mu Song is still "fragrant and beautiful, delicate and graceful"; Thanks to the example of the romantic emperor, she struggled under the heavy cover of literati and poets, jumped into the painter's ink, interpreted the feelings of life, filled with colorful poems, and nourished every heart that loved He Qing.
I didn't have time to get close to the green willows on the shore, and I didn't stay in the distant garden. I went straight through the willow-shaded Tieweng Temple, untied the cable of the cruise ship, jumped into the boat across the lake, pulled down the willow trees and rowed deep into the lotus bushes.
The rippling lake is full of fallen leaves from the fields, which are stacked high and low and vary in size. Some of them are high in water, such as green umbrellas propped up in the charming sunshine. Some water is very low, and there are large and small jade plates floating on the lake; Some want to show off and roll back, just like a shy girl half covering her face; Some fluttered in the wind, and the breezy boys inadvertently straightened their backs ... Among the layers of green leaves, pink lotus flowers stood upright: some were like pink girls taking a bath, shyly hiding behind the leaves; Some mischievously cocked their heads, half revealing charming faces, as if enjoying this picturesque scenery with me. A gust of wind blew, but I saw green leaves making money in the wind, and red-violet broke through the blue waves. Pale yellow silk threads pop up from the gorgeous petals, as if to reveal the language, fragrance, beauty, simplicity and nobility of the lotus, giving people a spiritual awakening.
I pulled out the ethereal smoke and went boating in the depths of violet. The kite bird that swept the water suddenly appeared and cut through the silent lake. Barracuda, leisurely and light, playing at the edge of Qinghe; The scattered lotus leaves, green as dye, sway on the vast lake waves, flaunting the lightness and elegance of "falling lotus beads but breaking circles" Lotus reflects the sun, the green willows by the lake, and the reflection of Foshan, which outlines the beautiful scenery of a city.
I picked a white crane, "startled a pool of gulls and herons", and picked a red lotus, "listening to the sound of springs in the fragrance of purple lotus" In the rich lotus fragrance, I forgot everything and merged with the clear water lotus.
Chapter IV: Prose describing lotus: "The next day, the lotus leaves are infinitely bright, and the lotus leaves reflect in different colors in the sun". In hot summer, the only plant that can bring coolness to people is lotus! When summer comes, not enjoying lotus flowers is like not seeing peony in Luoyang. It happened that the Lotus Festival was held in Silver Beach. How can I miss this good opportunity? So, our family of three drove to Yintan to see the lotus flowers.
In order to get in touch with the lotus, my father rented a boat for us. We paddled the boat floating on the blue waves and felt the wonder and magnificence brought by the thousand acres of lotus pond. The boat sailed slowly to a snow-white lotus, and I hurried forward to smell it. Lotus exudes a faint scent from the inside out, mixed with coolness. Every corolla outside the lotus is soft, as if it were like a little girl's tender cheek. The yellow, stamens and pistils inside are like a bee's hive, calling swarms of bees to play here. The huge dew on the lotus leaf is crystal clear, sometimes jumping on the lotus leaf, and sometimes rolling on the lotus leaf, as if welcoming our arrival. As the saying goes, red flowers line green leaves. The bright green of the lotus leaf is full of vitality, which is more charming when combined with the white and noble lotus. Lotus is so white and beautiful, but the pool at the foot is so muddy, which can be described as "muddy but not dyed, clear but not demon". From a distance, lotus flowers are like small baskets. Look, Sister Furong is holding them and greeting everyone with a smile.
Lotus is not only beautiful, but also full of treasures. Lotus can be appreciated, lotus leaf can be used as medicine, and lotus seed and lotus root can be eaten.
I love the beauty of lotus, and I love its honest and selfless dedication.
