Because it is homophonic with "pity", it is also borrowed to express the meaning of "pity", such as Xizhou Qu written by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus flowers fall in autumn, and lotus flowers fall over the head. Bow your head and take lotus seeds, which are as clear as water. In Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi wrote "On Love for Lotus": "Love for Lotus alone, without touching the sludge, is clear but not evil. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is graceful, and it is not ridiculous from a distance. This also gives the lotus an image of noble character, and it has been called "the gentleman in the flower" since then.
