The ancient poem "Lotus"

Lotus is a poem written by Li Qiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

The original text of "Holland" is:

New slippery skin, round lotus shadow is irregular.

The wind is fragrant and far away, and the sunset is shaded.

Fish play with leaves, turtles float to see the green pool.

It is difficult for Wei to accept mining, but Chu takes mining.

This poem depicts a beautiful lotus pond against the setting sun. The newly thawed torrent flows through the round lotus leaf, and the breeze blows, blowing the fragrance of the lotus into the distance. In the pond at sunset, fish play freely in the water, and occasionally turtles surface, which is a peaceful scene.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, the poet couldn't help writing this poem. On the one hand, he praised the harmony of lotus, sunset, turtle and fish, on the other hand, he lamented the division and combination of dynasties.
