Such as Jiangnan (Han Yuefu)
Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan. What is the lotus leaf? Fish are playing among the lotus leaves. Fish hits the lotus leaf east, fish hits the lotus leaf west, fish hits the lotus leaf south, and fish hits the lotus leaf north.
This poem describes the scene of watching fish play with lotus leaves when picking lotus leaves. "Yuefu solves problems" says: "Jiangnan", an old saying, cover the beautiful scenery of Meifang in the morning and swim in time. "The last four sentences are repeated, which shows the lightness of fish shuttling between lotus leaves and conveys the cheerful mood of lotus pickers.
There is another reason why the word "lotus" is used in ancient poetry. Because it is homophonic with "pity", it is also borrowed to express the meaning of "pity", such as Xizhou Qu written by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus flowers fall in autumn, and lotus flowers fall over the head. Bow your head and get lotus seeds, as clear as water. " In the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi wrote "On Love for Lotus": "Love for Lotus alone, sludge will not stick, and it will be clear but not evil. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is elegant and elegant, and it is not ridiculous from a distance. " It has also given the lotus a noble image, and has since been hailed as a "gentleman in flowers".
