1. "Little Pond"
The author Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty
The spring is silently cherished The trickle flows, the shade of the trees shines on the water and the water is clear and soft.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it.
Vernacular translation: The spring is silent because it is reluctant to let go of the thin water, and the shade of the trees reflected on the water surface is because it loves the sunny weather and the gentle wind. As soon as the delicate little lotus leaf revealed its sharp corners from the water, there was already a naughty little dragonfly standing on it.
2. "Sent Off to Lin Zifang at Dawn from Jingci Temple"
Author Yang Wanli, Song Dynasty
After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons.
The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red.
Vernacular translation: The scenery of West Lake in June is different from that in other seasons. The dense layers of lotus leaves spread out, connecting with the blue sky, forming an endless expanse of verdant green; the graceful lotus buds are in full bloom, looking particularly bright and red under the sunlight.
3. "Like a Dream Ling·Chang Ji Xi Pavilion at dusk"
Author Li Qingzhao, Dynasty Song Dynasty
Chang Ji Xi Pavilion at dusk, intoxicated and not knowing the way back.
Returning to the boat late after all the fun, and straying into the depths of lotus flowers.
Fighting for the crossing, fighting for the crossing, startling a pool of gulls and herons.
Vernacular translation: I often think of an outing, and it will be late at night as soon as the sun sets. I am so intoxicated that I don’t want to go home. I played until I lost interest and then returned by boat, but got lost and entered the depths of the lotus root pond. How to get out? How to get out? The sound of chirping and screaming and the sound of rowing boats startled a group of screech herons.
