Lotus, also known as lotus, lotus, lotus, netizen, lotus, water cloud and zeman, is a perennial aquatic vegetation, originating in India.
Summer flowers, white or pink, single or double.
Folk custom takes June 24th of the lunar calendar as the birthday of lotus.
Lotus has always been a symbol of beauty and nobility, and Zhou Dunyi praised it as "out of mud but not stained, clear and not demon." Generally speaking, the symbolic meanings of lotus are as follows: nobility and loyalty, symbol of hermit, auspicious and auspicious, symbol of love, symbol of self-state of underachievers and symbol of beauty.
Lotus symbolizes nobility, and there are countless poems and articles.
For example, Lu Guimeng's Bai Lianhua said, "Su Hua is often deceived, and this flower ends up in Yaochi.
Who feels heartless and hateful, the wind is clear and clear that month. The lotus image in ancient poetry is also called lotus, lotus, lotus, hibiscus, lotus and so on. In traditional literature, lotus has many qualities and characteristics: as a typical image, lotus is no longer a simple landscape, but a symbol of emotion.
1, using lotus as a metaphor for noble character.
For example, in Qu Yuan's Lisao, "making lotus flowers means clothes, gathering hibiscus means clothes", and the beauty of lotus flowers symbolizes the noble quality of the poet, so as to highlight the poet's attitude towards life that "the world is turbid and I am alone, and everyone is drunk and I am alone"; Another example is "clear water gives birth to lotus, and it is natural to carve it" (Li Bai's "Tian En Liu Yelang recalled the past after the chaos and slaughtered Jiang Hao"), "The mud is not stained, and the water is not evil" (Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus") and "The long flowers are lost and the short ones are lost" (Li Yu's "Fu Qu").
2. Lotus is a metaphor for a woman's beauty or innocent love.
Lotus often gives people the impression that it is extremely graceful and clean, and it is easy to be associated with peerless beauties such as "Water Lotus" and "Lotus Fairy".
For example, "Xizhou Qu" by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus is picked in autumn in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, which are as green as water. " Because "lotus" and "pity" are homophonic, "lotus seed" means "Reiko Kobayakawa" and "green" means "affection".
Here, homophonic pun is used to express a woman's deep yearning for the man she loves and the purity of love.
Another example is Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow: "But the petals are like her face and the willow leaves are like her eyebrows. What can he do when he looks at them but cry?" And the thirty-fifth song of Jin's "Forty-two Midnight Songs": "The fog hides the lotus, and the lotus is unclear." The dew in the fog hides the true face of the lotus, but the lotus leaf is not very clear. This is also a way of homophonic pun, writing about a woman who vaguely feels that the man loves her.
3. Lotus is a metaphor for a beautiful life ideal.
For example, Li Bai's "Lotus Mountain in the West": "Lotus Mountain in the West, looking at the stars all the way, holding hibiscus, is too clear." Use lotus flowers to write fantasy detachment, ideal interest, pure and clear.
Another example is Wang Wei's "Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains": "The bamboo sings the female to return, and the lotus leaves are harvested before the fishing boat", which creates a beautiful, harmonious and quiet artistic conception and entrusts the poet's life ideal.
