This paper analyzes the artistic conception of poetry and the author's method of creating artistic conception based on the song of picking lotus.

Wang Changling's poem "Song of Picking Lotus" 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 it, 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. The first two sentences focus on objective description, while the last two sentences focus on subjective feelings. The combination of objective description and subjective feelings well shows the beautiful artistic conception that people can't compete with each other.

If this poem is regarded as a picture of picking lotus, the center of the picture is naturally the girls picking lotus. However, the author did not let them appear in this picture from beginning to end, but let them blend in the lotus leaves and colorful lotus bushes, looming, as if nothing had happened, and let the lotus picking girls blend in with the beautiful nature. The whole poem is beautiful and imaginative. This artistic conception is original.

At the end of the poem, the author still doesn't let the main characters in the painting appear on the screen obviously. The purpose is not only to regard them as the embodiment of beautiful nature, but also to leave people with an endless feeling of leisure because of this description. With the help of verbs, it shows that the lotus picking girl is looming in the lotus pond, and the flowers are indistinguishable and similar, showing her naive and energetic character.
