Introduction:
Two Poems of Picking Lotus is a seven-character quatrain written by Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. These two poems mainly describe the beauty of lotus picking women, both of which are poetic and picturesque.
Original poem:
"Two lotus picking songs. The second "Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling"
The girl who picked the lotus put the girl who picked the lotus into the lotus leaf, as if the color was the same, and the girl's face was hidden in the blooming lotus, which reflected each other.
Lotus is mixed in the lotus pond, and it is difficult to recognize the lotus pond. Only when you hear the song do you know that someone is picking lotus in the pond-picking lotus.
Explanation:
The green Luo skirt of the girl who picked the lotus seems to be the same color as the lotus leaf in the field. The girl's face is hidden in the blooming lotus, which reflects each other.
Mixed into the lotus pond and disappeared. I didn't realize that someone was coming until I heard singing everywhere.
Extended data:
In the summer of the seventh year of Tang Tianbao, Wang Changling was appointed as the captain of the Dragon Watch for a period of time. When I first met A Duo, it was very interesting. At that time, Wang Changling walked alone outside the Dragon Watch City. In the lotus pond of things, he saw a beautiful picture, that is, he saw the monarch and Man Zi A Duo picking lotus flowers and singing in the lotus pond, so he made a lotus song.
Lotus leaves and skirts are all cut in one color, and hibiscus flowers bloom on both sides of the face. From the beginning, this poem shows a beautiful picture of harmony and unity between man and environment. The skirt of the lotus picking girl is as green as the lotus leaf. Although metaphor is not novel, it has unexpected effects when used here. It not only describes the lotus leaf in the field, but also writes the beautiful clothes of the girl picking lotus. The two set off each other and seem to blend in.
In particular, the word "cut" is very clever. The skirt is cut out, but it is also used on the lotus leaf here, as if from He's poem Liu Yong, "I wonder who cut out the thin leaves?" Inspired by the phrase "the spring breeze in February is like scissors", people think that lotus leaves and skirts are not only the same color, but also seem to be made of the same material by the same pair of skillful hands.
From this, people can't help but think of Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", "Making lotus flowers means making clothes, and picking hibiscus means making clothes", and feel the lotus-like hearts of these women. The delicate hibiscus flowers all seem to bloom towards the beautiful face of the girl picking lotus flowers. In fact, lotus flowers are written to set off the beauty of people. The beauty of a girl picking lotus flowers is not the stunning beauty of closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers, but as healthy and warm as sunshine, like pushing lotus flowers in a pool.
These two poems were originally the Jasper Poem "Lotus Noodles are Messy and Lotus Leaves are Fragrant" by Emperor Liang Yuan, but this one by Wang Changling is better and more meaningful.
