The first thing that catches your eye is the graceful lotus flowers dotted in it. Pink lotus is about to drip, Ying Ying is about to drip; White cranes bring rain, flawless; When in full bloom, the buds shake yellow; In the bud, the devil is ashamed to talk. Together with the green cover and the green ball, it is a charming scenery.
I sat on a big bluestone and thought hard. Many ancient poems about lotus poured in ... yes, lotus! How many people have praised you, described you and given you many nice names. In addition to lotus, there are lotus, hibiscus, lotus, water lily, water lily, water lily, water lily, water lily, water lily, water bloom, Yuhuan and so on. In China's oldest collection of poems, The Book of Songs, there is a saying that "each has a bad side and a rich side". Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, once fantasized about "taking hibiscus as clothes" in Lisao. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Cao Zhi described his ideal Luo God with the beauty of lotus: "If you view it forcibly, it will burn like a green wave." Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty once expressed his love with lotus flowers. His "Give a Answer with Folded Lotus" wrote: "I love this red fresh when I am playing autumn water in the river. The water drops on the lotus leaf, but they don't roll round. Beautiful women gather in the clouds and want to send people to the distant sky. Acacia has no reason to see, looking forward to the breeze. " Bai Juyi describes the character of lotus, which is neither light nor slow, and cannot be laughed at: "A rose with thorns should be lazy to climb, and it is difficult for lotus to play with mud." In addition, many poets have written many picturesque sentences, either for their freshness or for their splendor. For example, Yang Wanli's "After the Dragon Boat Festival, I want to be Liusi Township in the Lotus World"; Su Shi's "Lotus turns white in the lee, lotus cheeks turn red in the rain" and so on. As for using lotus flowers to describe beautiful women, there are not a few. However, there are exceptions, that is, using lotus flowers to compare men. "The Biography of Yang Zaisi in the Book of Tang Dynasty" contains: Chang Zong is lucky in appearance, and when he thinks about it, people say that the willow waves are like lotus flowers, but it is not the case; As the saying goes, lotus flowers are like six lang ears. Its cleverness and shameless, and so on, are all examples of blasphemy against lotus flowers, which have been circulated as jokes for generations. Lu Xun once used this allusion to ridicule a shameless scholar, saying that "it is rare for a lotus flower to be like a six-lang". Except for this special exception, China's classical literature all sings lotus flowers. These songs are not only scattered in many poems or other works, but also dedicated to lotus flowers. Cao Zhi wrote "Fu of Furong", which pushed Furong to the top of the pack; Wang Bo in the Tang Dynasty was dissatisfied with many previous works about lotus, so he specially wrote a poem "Lotus Picking Fu", which was actually not good. However, Zhou Dunyi's Love Lotus is still worth mentioning. This essay is short in words, but it describes the special character of lotus, which is "out of mud but not stained, clear and not demon". Among many works praising lotus, it is not unique, but this excellent work was written by Mr. Zhou Dunyi, the father of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, which is regrettable. ...
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and a fragrance came to my face. The lotus leaf swayed gently and poured the "pearl" into the lake. My association is broken. Looking at the scene in front of me, a strange idea arises spontaneously, mixed with a faint sense of injustice. I boldly imagine: what will happen if these lotus leaves are removed? If there is only one bare lotus, can the scenery be so charming? From the aesthetic point of view, lotus leaf is an integral part of beauty, without which beauty would be lost. From a biological point of view, photosynthesis cannot be carried out without leaves, and these beautiful lotus flowers cannot grow into lotus leaves and lotus roots. Aren't those lotus leaves worth praising? Can they only appear as a foil in ancient poems?
You see, these lotus leaves, dark green, round and thick, have lived in the position of "foil" silently imposed on them for many years, urging lotus flowers to be red and helping jade lotus roots to be white. In midsummer, they never compete with others, but send bursts of fragrance like a round fan. What an unpretentious character! They are selfless. The rain at the beginning of a long drought is like rain falling from the sky, but this pearl is as precious as water. They never touch their lips. They always keep the water carefully, which should be reserved for the fish in the lake! When the wind and rain hit, they closely United as one, not afraid of the wind and rain, and even when they turned over, they selflessly protected the lotus; When the hot sun is burning fire, they all hold up green covers to block the heat, quietly watching the fish play and the shrimps swim in the shade. They are open-minded and open-minded, and the sun and the moon can be incorporated into their hearts. Insects never dare to invade their bodies. When people cut the lotus leaf from the stem, it is inextricably linked with the root, which is the proof of not forgetting the grace of raising the pond.
Lotus leaf is very beneficial to human beings. As a medicinal material, it can clear heat and purge fire, which is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica. As a special packaging material, it is not afraid of water immersion and oil pollution. Before paper and plastic appeared, it played a great role. "Chen Shu Kong Huanchuan" has such a record: "You still make more wheat and rice wrapped in lotus leaves." In addition, lotus leaf porridge boiled with lotus leaves is green and fragrant, refreshing and delicious ... It is useful in itself and helps to grow lotus roots and lotus roots that are useful to human beings. It is beautiful in itself, creating the beauty of lotus. But what attracts me most is not these, nor the natural beauty of lotus leaves. What attracts me most is the spiritual beauty of lotus leaves. Admittedly, unlike lotus, it has no good name and no good name. Lotus leaf, lotus leaf, that's it. When people point, appreciate the lotus and even forget its existence, it never cares about anything; No fame, no profit, no limelight, no matter what its status, it always works and fights silently. Yes, there has never been any special praise for it in ancient poetry and fu, but without it, it is impossible to produce all the famous articles about lotus. Its style not only deeply infected me, but also inspired me a lot. Who created the beautiful scenery of this lake? Who dyed the distant green hills? Who built the magnificent pavilions? Who nurtured all the beautiful things on this earth? Friend, can you name them? There are few records in historical books and few praises in ancient poems. Like lotus leaves, they only have two simplest names: people and masses. However, the style of lotus leaves is deeply contained in them. Isn't the style of lotus leaf a symbol of people's great spirit?
I love lotus leaves and pretend to recite.

Zheng (939— 1979) was born in Beijing. He used to be a lecturer in the literature theory course of Beijing Normal University and engaged in teaching for many years. After smashing the Gang of Four, he began to devote himself to writing various essays.
I love the lotus pond in my hometown, where it is beautiful in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring came, and the "skating rink" was "hidden" by Miss Chun's wand. Let's play together. My friends and I came to the pond. How did the "skating rink" change back to its original appearance: small fish swam freely in the water, as if to say, "Miss Chun is coming! Come! " The white swan is playing in the pond while combing its feathers, and the lotus is also preparing to "make up" and "pick out clothes" to welcome people coming in summer. Grandfather Sun seems to be very satisfied with this, emitting a gentle light.
The intoxicating spring has passed, and Miss Xia has quietly arrived at night. It is said that Miss Xia saw the most beautiful lotus pond on the first day 15. After listening, I made an appointment with my friend and came to the lotus pond with an oil lamp. As soon as I approached, I was fascinated by a pool of lotus flowers. I saw the lotus by the pool and looked up at the stars in the night sky. "ah! What a beautiful lotus. " I can't help but say. With a cool breeze, the fragrance came to the nose. Lotus in the moonlight, the petals of big hands are as white as snow, and five or six petals are spelled into a big lotus. Lotus flowers look all kinds, and some are like shy little girls lying under green lotus leaves with blushes; Some poked their heads out curiously and looked at this beautiful and lovely world; Some lotus flowers, like beautiful fairies, dress up in front of the calm lake. There are many lotus flowers, some with two or three petals, and some with all flowers, revealing a delicate lotus flower, like a graceful girl standing on a lotus leaf, and like a fairy who just walked down the stairs. Don't like to show off your lotus, just like a big green disk. Suddenly a frog jumped on the lotus leaf, and water dripped on the lotus leaf and rolled back and forth. I was intoxicated by the beautiful night. I seem to be a little bee, flying around the lake, looking at this flower and that flower for a while. I am very excited. It was another evening breeze, and Mrs. Feng seemed to be singing: "Lotus is really beautiful, lotus!" "
Sweet ... "Lotus leaves are dancing, and I can't help jumping up and singing with this music, intoxicated in this poetic realm. Unfortunately, the life of the lotus generation has withered. This autumn, the "soul" of lotus fragrance is still in that pond.
Winter is coming, which is something that our children should be happy about, because it has become a "free skating rink". Passing by, you will certainly hear hearty laughter and lively figures.
I love the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond in spring, the magnificent scenery of the lotus pond in summer, the fragrance of the lotus pond in autumn and the happy paradise of the lotus pond in winter. I love the lotus pond, and I love its spring, summer, autumn and winter!
Yu's "Manlian Fangcao Third Lotus"
lotus
Lotus and herb flowers seem to feel slightly different; However, there are roots and no trees, so is one year old. "Spectrum" said: "Those born in water are called grass hibiscus, and those born on land are called grass hibiscus." It is said that non-herbs are not allowed. For people who make a living by this in summer, it is not so effective for Mao Shu, but the theory of attack is also in the predecessors. There are many things about lotus, please get ready. When flowers bloom, they only bloom for a few days. Before and after this, they all belong to autumn and are not required, but lotus is not. Since the day money came out of the water, it has been decorated with green waves, and its strong leaves have been born, but they have grown taller and brighter and floated in the wind. That state, calm and graceful, means that I enjoy endless pleasure before the flowers bloom. From the beginning to the end, the flowers are charming, and then one after another, from summer to autumn. At this time, flowers are a responsibility and people deserve it. Thanks to the flowers, you can also sue the owner. It's Xia Ti's canopy, strong and graceful, like an unopened flower, not white dew cream, but it can do a lot. All this is said to be very eye-catching. But the nose has the fragrance of lotus leaves, the extraordinary fragrance of lotus flowers, the summer heat and the cool life. To its pleasant mouth, lotus seeds and lotus roots are both tied for a meal, and so are those who share their teeth and cheeks. Only the leaves were destroyed in the frost, scattered and embarrassed, and seemed to be abandoned. They were picked and hidden and used to wrap things for years. It is a lotus, and there is no moment that is not suitable for eyes and ears; Nothing but traces, not for daily use. There are grains, but they are nameless; There are advantages of letting a hundred flowers blossom, but each has its own shortcomings. Is the income from planting greater than this? Of the four, this life is the most important. Nothing is cooler than a good life, but there is no half acre square pond, a place to settle down; Just dig a big pool, plant a few stems to stop the strange, sometimes get sick and leak, and look to heaven for water to save. Almost the so-called poor health, grass protects its life.
