Lotus in the south of the Yangtze River (prose)
Liu Xuegang
The lotus in the south of the Yangtze River is like a chrysanthemum blooming on the east fence, a kind of distant charm.
You can pick lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are fields of lotus leaves. The happiest person in life is the lotus picker. Take a small boat, carry a boatload of fragrance, and carry a sail of gentle wind. When you lower your eyebrows and raise your eyes, you can see endless white clouds, clear water, green leaves and red lotuses. How many times can this flower appear in the human world when it ends up in Yaochi? Only the south of the Yangtze River, with its glittering water and misty rain, can nourish such a peerless beauty. If there are flowers that can be folded, they must be folded, and don't leave any residual lotus to listen to the sound of autumn.
Standing by the pond in the north and looking at the south of the Yangtze River, it should be a very beautiful artistic conception of lotus leaves and five-point flowers. The leaves are like the pink walls and black tiles, and the flowers are like the women from the south of the Yangtze River who walk brightly and gracefully. All Jiangnan women are called Lianhua. Lotus flowers are picking tea on the green hills, lotus flowers are washing clothes by the clear water, and lotus flowers are fluttering with butterflies in the garden. Their clear eyes are like water and their dark eyebrows are like smoke. Some of them are called Xiaohe, some are called Furong, and some are called Hanlian. Their waists are swaying lightly, and they are Nana Pingping Tingting. In the water town of Jiangnan, they are all lotuses that come out of the water with a smile.
Walking in the classical poems and songs, touching the lotus flower in an antique way, my reading fingers are like breathing through the beautiful woman's temples. It is a numb and soft feeling, and my eyes are slightly trembling. The tender lotus root is moistened with fresh lotus, making it moist, shiny and clear. At this moment, the lotus is in the palm of my hand. Chu's waist is slender, the singing is reverberating, and the Wu and the children are dancing drunk with lotus. The classical lotus flower is simply synonymous with beauty, gentleness and beauty. Lingbo steps slightly, and the socks are dusty. The classical lotus symbolizes the oriental charm of dignity, tranquility, elegance and nobility. Young people will grow old, and year after year, the lotus flower will still have its original appearance, as pure as first love, and its color will not change. Since you are destined not to be a dragon in this life, why not be a fish and play among the lotus leaves, shake the stars all over the sky into morning dew, and speak some clear words as soon as you open your mouth. The wind blows on the surface of the pool, and the waves are beautiful, and the leaves are exposed between the waves. In the transparency of the water, you gently embrace the waist of the lotus, and no longer let the sentimental girl hold a green umbrella and feel sad and hesitant alone in the rainy season. The fish is happy. In the long river of poetry, I hold a long pole and walk back to the place where the lotus flowers bloom, my eyes are happy.
A cup of water in the north cannot invite a lotus. There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many women named after lotus. The shy and delicate drops of water bloom in the summer of the south of the Yangtze River, silently, tenderly, quietly and leisurely, with a fragrance. Choosing summer to pick lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, is this an act of betrayal for those in the north who believe that those who don’t have the Great Wall are not heroes? I think bravely speaking out your sincerity in front of the soft, lovely, fragrant, intoxicating and colorful lotus is a candid expression of living faithfully and returning to yourself, starting from the heart and reaching the heart. Love is written on poems, but buried in masks. When you are middle-aged, you have to cross a long covered bridge to become a lotus picker. It is a bridge between the world of mortals and ideals. The beauty that waits in the seasons can only bloom and fall like a lotus, with the red fading and the green fading.
You can pick lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are fields of lotus leaves. Just in the summer, just this year, cheer up, set up a boat, and go to the south of the Yangtze River to pick lotuses
