Li shangyin
People in the world have different descriptions of flowers and leaves. They plant flowers in beautiful golden pots, but regardless of the flowers and leaves, they fall into the soil and become dust.
Only the lotus flower is matched with red flowers and green leaves. The lotus leaf has a roll of Shu, and the lotus flower has a bloom, which is so perfect and natural.
This flower and this leaf set each other off, green reduces red and worries about killing people.

Flowers and leaves in the world cannot be compared. Flowers are dedicated to golden pots, and fallen leaves return to their roots.
Only the green lotus leaves line the unopened lotus flowers. Whether it is open or closed, it is natural.
Lotus and lotus leaves set each other off and stayed together for a long time until the lotus leaves decreased and withered, which was extremely sad.

This is a poem with profound ideological content. There is a long-standing folk proverb in China: "Although the lotus is good, it must be supported by green leaves." Li Shangyin's seven-character ancient poems vividly show valuable ideas similar to this proverb. The author says that most people always attach importance to flowers rather than leaves. The flower was planted in a golden basin, but the leaves made it fall to the ground and turned into dust. However, the red flowers and green leaves of lotus are very harmonious. They reflected each other for a long time, until the green leaves decreased and the red flowers withered, which made people feel very sad. In this way, the fate of the lotus leaf is written, which is very emotional.
The first two sentences are "flowers in the world have nothing to do with leaves, and flowers go into the golden basin for dust."
The poet said that flowers and leaves in the world are incomparable. Flowers are dedicated to golden pots, and fallen leaves return to their roots.
At the back, "only the green lotus and the red lotus are innocent."
In other words, only the green lotus color is lined with the red lotus, whether it is curly or comfortable.
The last two sentences "This flower has a corresponding leaf length, reducing the deficit and killing people."
It means that flowers and leaves have set each other off for a long time. When the color of jade decreases and the red fades, it is really heartbreaking.
The first two sentences of this poem describe two different fates of flowers and leaves. Flowers and leaves in the world are born from the same root, with the same branch length, colorful, varied, unique and fragrant. Once recognized by a discerning person. The transplant basin is well taken care of. But the green leaves were abandoned and fell to the ground, turning to dust in the biting wind and rain. Flowers into the pot, leaves like dust, this is the fate of flowers and leaves in the world. These two sentences always describe the happiness of flowers and the misfortune of leaves, and their "incoherence" reflects the value of the unique quality of lotus.
The word "only" is different from the same, and the following four sentences are derived from it, which are translated into the stretching and shrinking of lotus leaves, the opening and closing of lotus flowers, and all kinds of verve, natural and unadorned. The ancients used lotus flowers to describe many virtues of gentlemen, and borrowed the characteristics of lotus flowers to compare and praise the outstanding independent character of noble and refined, not flattering the world. But this poem praises the "naive" quality of the lotus leaf, in order to praise the virtue of sincerity but not hypocrisy. Ren Naizhen is not only about flowers, but also about people. Write human nature in a colorful and novel way.
The last two sentences go deep into the "innocence" of lotus. The red flowers and green leaves of the lotus flower reflect each other. Even in the decline of red, when the world is sad, we still don't dislike each other. If the first two sentences write lotus "Ren Naizhen", it is important to show * * * glory; Then, the "long contrast" between these two sentences is mainly manifested in the same decline. These four poems complement each other and inherit from each other, which completely shows the unswerving quality of Lotus from both positive and negative aspects.
