Wang Changling's translation of the ancient poem "The Song of Picking Lotus"

Wang Changling s translation of the ancient poem "The Song of Picking Lotus";

The green Luo skirt of the girl who picked the lotus seems to be the same color as the lotus leaf in the field. The girl's face is hidden in the blooming lotus, which reflects each other. Mixed into the lotus pond and disappeared. I didn't realize that someone was coming until I heard singing everywhere.

This poem is about a girl who picks lotus, but there is no positive description. Instead, the lotus leaf is green as a skirt, the lotus flower is red as a face, and no one can hear the singing, which skillfully blends the beauty and nature of a lotus picking girl. The whole poem is lively, poetic and full of life interest.

The first two sentences of the poem make people feel that these lotus-picking girls are simply a part of beautiful nature. The last two sentences are about people standing together and gazing at each other for an instant.
