Poems about lotus

A refreshing scent wafts from the lake, and the farther we go, the more clearly we can see the dark green on the lake. Ah, here we are, Lotus Island!

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 "a lotus flower is as rare as 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 for beauty, but instead send bursts of fragrance like a round fan. What an unpretentious character this is! 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 has 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.

(Selected from China Youth Daily on March 3rd 1979)

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. Although his prose failed to reach a mature and exquisite position in art for a while, his sharp thoughts, full enthusiasm and rich knowledge of literary history still attracted readers' attention. Ode to the Lotus Leaf is especially praised. Unexpectedly, just when his talent just appeared, the rapid deterioration of leukemia took his life. I hope that the long-term spread of Ode to the Lotus Leaf will make people remember its author forever.

Ode to the Lotus Leaf is an essay that eulogizes things and wishes. And the "things" praised in this article. As the name implies, it is mainly lotus leaf.

However, the author meaningfully starts with the description of lotus; When he first arrived at Lotus Island, he wrote about how the graceful lotus flowers "first came into his eyes", which made him indulge in "what a charming scenery", unconsciously thinking of ancient poets and poets competing to praise and describe the lotus flowers, and gave them various beautiful names and descriptions ... It was not until a cool breeze and fragrance blew that the author noticed "Lotus Leaves in Tian Tian". So "a strange idea arises spontaneously, mixed with subtle grievances"; The author turned his pen to the front and boldly accused and praised the lotus leaf, which can only be used as a foil in ancient poetry and fu. After that, the article not only reveals the author's main ideas, but also introduces the famous poems about lotus flowers in the history of literature to readers.

If the association of ancient people praising lotus is mainly objective narration, then the words praising lotus leaf, whether narrative or narrative, are full of the author's unparalleled affection. When the author demonstrates the important role of lotus leaf from the perspective of aesthetics and biology, how passionate enthusiasm is contained in the barrage of questions and rhetorical questions. He is like a philosopher who judges the merits and demerits of history, and his chest is full of the sacred sense of responsibility to safeguard truth and justice. When the author describes and praises the lotus leaf positively, he even uses words that specifically describe people's noble qualities, such as simplicity, selflessness, openness, modesty, regardless of status and so on. In the author's mind, the lotus leaf already has human spirituality. Some paragraphs are beautifully written:

..... They are selfless ... When the storm strikes, they are closely United as one, not afraid of the storm, even if they turn over, they will selflessly protect the lotus; When the hot sun is burning fire, they all hold the green cover to block the heat, quietly watching the fish play and the shrimps swim in the shade. ……

This not only conforms to the natural growth state of lotus leaves, but also permeates the author's beloved feelings, reaching the realm of scene blending.

After praising the style of the lotus leaf, the author took a sharp turn and connected the lotus leaf with the people through a series of questions. This connection is worrying and appropriate. The situation of the people is indeed quite similar to that of the lotus leaf. They created all the beautiful things on the earth, but "there are few records in historical books." Their style is really similar to lotus leaf. Although they are treated unfairly, they never care about anything. "They always work silently and fight silently." . Yes, the style of lotus leaf is a symbol of people's great spirit!

Admit that only the people are the driving force to create history, love the people, be loyal to them and serve them sincerely; This should be the basis of a real proletarian revolutionary's outlook on life. The perverse actions of the great "April 5th Movement" and the Gang of Four once again alerted people from both positive and negative aspects and deepened people's understanding of this basic principle. I am afraid that the author who observes and thinks about life from time to time will not be deeply inspired by it. The author loves the lotus leaf so much that he sings it because he loves the people very much and wants to eulogize the great people to the fullest!
