Poems on Lotus (with explanation)

The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jin Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone; Since Li Tang came, people all over the world love peony. Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is graceful and quiet, but it doesn't look ridiculous from a distance.

Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love of chrysanthemum flowers is rarely heard after Tao; Lotus love, who is the giver; Peony love is suitable for many people. -Zhou Dunyi Ailian said that the flowers of herbs and woody plants in the water and on the ground deserve more care. Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty only liked chrysanthemums. People have been fond of peonies since the Tang Dynasty. I only like lotus flowers-lotus flowers grow out of mud, but they are not polluted by mud; Wash it with clear water, and it won't look seductive; (its stem) is hollow inside and straight outside, without branches or branches; The fragrance is more delicate in the distance; It stands upright and is clean in the water. You can see it from a distance, but you can't play at close range. I think chrysanthemum is a hermit in flowers, peony is a rich one in flowers, and lotus is a gentleman in flowers. Alas! Tao Yuanming rarely heard of chrysanthemums after that. For Lotus, who else is like me? There should be many people who love peony. There are too many lovely flowers in the world.

Tao Yuanming only loved chrysanthemums in Jin Dynasty.

People have been interested in peony since the Tang Dynasty.

But I like clean lotus, even if it grows in a muddy pond.

It is so pure, delicate and bright.

Lotus is consistent, continuous and coherent in the deep heart.

It looks straight, appropriate and honest.

It gives off a very good smell, and people can even smell it far away.

It has no unnecessary branches.

You can only appreciate it from a distance, but you can't touch it blasphemously.

I believe that chrysanthemum is a hermit, peony is a rich man, and lotus is undoubtedly a monarch.

Few people can love chrysanthemums like Tao.

Who shows enthusiasm in the lotus like me?

Then who likes peony? Almost everyone! How to explain it can be. ...
