[Jiang Kui]
Ke Yuwuling, what is the constitution of Hubei? The ancient city is wild with water and towering trees. I was boating with two or three friends, and I drank mint flowers during the boating. My image was laid-back and not human. Autumn water is dry, and the lotus leaves come out of the ground to find their feet, because the pillars are sitting below and there is no sun on them. Breeze Xu Lai, Lv Yun automatic; It is also a pleasure to catch a glimpse of tourists drawing boats in sparsely populated places. When I came to Xing Wu, I counted sheep and lotus, and the West Lake was flooded at night. The scenery is amazing, so it is written in this sentence. Make a splash, remember to keep company with Yuanyang. Thirty-six cruel people have not arrived, and there are countless water clothes. Green leaves are cool, jade makes wine disappear, and rain sprinkles. Shake, Leng Xiang flies to the poem.
At dusk, the green pavilion is graceful, and the lover has gone, so why put up with Ling Bo? I'm afraid the dance clothes will fall off easily when they get cold, and I'm afraid I'll enter Nanpu and Xifeng. High willows hang in the shade, old fish blow the waves, leaving me to live in the flower room. How many fields, the wind returns to the sand and the road.
Old custom
Picking Lotus (XXVI) Li Bai in Tang Dynasty
In the Southern Dynasties, Bihe in Wu County gave birth to a quiet spring, and the morning light was bright and fresh.
Brocade mixed with fine flowers, Luo Yi hung on the Qinghe River. Autumn flowers spit green water and dense leaves are full of smoke.
Ask my son where to go today, picking lotus in Jiangnan. Beautiful powder is peerless, who will pass the incense?
Three thousand miles in western Liaoning, I want to send it for no reason. Sit and watch the flying frost fade.
May you return early, this lotus is fresh. If I don't find the root cause, I would like to believe in the edge of Huachi.
Lotus poetry
Lotus is mostly white or red. The ancients said that red is the general name of pink, and poets praised white lotus as "white", that is, white jade; For example, Yun's poem "Gold bars hang white". Bai Juyi's poem: "Sufu contains a fresh crown of sapphire". When he recited the white crane, he compared it to a jade crown. Wu Rong's poem "White jade blossoms, green golden pool" is more directly called white jade.
Among the ancient poems, there are many poems about red lotus, such as the poem: "The ancient house in Jia Lian shines with water red"; Li Shangyin's words: "Only violet red lotus (lotus alias)". Liang Wudi's poem: "Lotus blooms in the south of the Yangtze River, with red light and clear water"; Yao Heshi: "You sleep at night, and suddenly you are suspicious of wild fever"; There is another sentence, "The light condensation beads have pedicles, and the flame is smokeless"; Fan Chengda's poem: "Ling Boxian is quiet and fragrant, but she also takes a good dream of red mansions and studies drunken makeup" and so on. It's a wonderful metaphor.
There was a yellow lotus in ancient times (now lost). See Shen Shixing's poem "Caiyun Huang Yun Gaiyutang welcomes Jin Niang"; There is also a poem, "High knot and heavy table scatter strange fragrance, and famous flowers reflect the yellow robe". The poet compared the Yellow River to "Huang Yun".
3.2 Beauty of Lotus Leaves
Many poems use "Tian Tian" to describe the shape of lotus leaf. For example, Zhao Hushi's poem: "The leaves are chaotic in Ching Tien, and the lotus leaves are red" may come from the ancient sentence of "He Tian Tian takes a lotus leaf" in Han Yuefu. The lotus leaf is nearly round, and Zhang Hua, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, praised it as "the green leaves are as neat as rules", which is more realistic than Tian Tian's, so the poem "The water is sealed at the beginning, and the rules have covered the wind" has gradually taken root in people's hearts. However, before the leaves were displayed, the two sides were involved, and the poet praised it as "the leaves were half open", which was a very subtle insight.
There is a dense layer of prickly horny protrusions on the surface of the lotus leaf, and the adhesion of water drops on the leaf surface is very small, so it rolls down. The poet regarded this natural phenomenon as a symbol of emotions and wrote many beautiful sentences of praise. As the text says: "Lotus heart is like a pearl, but it is not really round and swaying"; Liu Yongzhi's sentence:' Shake it to Zhu Xiao and pour it into the tracts'; Changyu's sentence: "The dew lotus is also broken into Zhu Qiong, and the lotus roots are full of fragrance"; Wang Yuepu's poem "After the rain, there is no railing, the lotus powder is not dry, and a hundred thousand pearls are precious, and the green plate is holding people's eyes"; Li Bai's famous sentence "autumn water in the river, love this red and fresh, climb the lotus to get its pearls, ripples are not round." The gift is in the clouds, and I want to send it to the distant sky. I have no reason to look at acacia and look forward to the breeze. "It can be seen that the water drops on the lotus leaf have become a touching medium.
The period of seeing lotus leaves in water is much longer than that of lotus flowers, and poets write no fewer poems about lotus leaves than lotus flowers. For example, Gao Qi's poem: "Leaves float low in the water, stems are weak before the wind, and herons can't sleep at first sight." This picturesque poem combines lotus leaves with fish herons. In addition, the fragrance of lotus leaves is also very pleasant, such as Fan Chengda's sentence: "The wind leaves are also fragrant"; Lu Zhaolin's sentence, "The fragrance floats around the winding shore, and the round shadow covers the huachi"; Zheng Gushi's poem: "A boat with a poor splash is fragrant against the handle of the wind", which refers to the fragrance of lotus leaves.
In fact, the beauty that flowers and leaves complement each other and support each other is also praised by poets. For example, Bai Juyi's poem "Sufu contains fresh jade crowns and leaves shake the fans"; Li Shangyin's poem: "Only violet is red, and opening and closing is naive"; Han Qi's sentence: "cymbals are green, and the sachet is independent red"; Han Qi's sentence: "The lotus fragrance keeps rolling, and the lotus shadow moves clean." These famous sentences all describe the combination of flowers, leaves and surrounding scenery, setting off the beauty of harmony.
3.3 Lotus root is delicious
For example, Zhou Tingzhen's title is "Snow Lotus on Ice Plate": "Clear ice plate presses sugarcane pulp, and wine is served with snow lotus root near Huatang. The cool color reflects crisp, and the white silk is even fragrant with sleeves ... "; Another example is Xie Maishi: "You know, there are lotus roots as big as rafters in the mud. This is a clear ice and snow, not beautiful. ..... sweet and cold, summer is the most convenient. ..... open the seal with mud. Covet before chewing. ..... cut jade cool, refreshed. ..... "These poems are all good comments on delicious lotus root.
3.4 Lotus products are noble and clean.
China ancient culture often likes to evaluate the merits of many objects. Lotus is a treasure, so it has always been praised. In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Ma She's "Fu of Ruilian" brilliantly summed up the high evaluation of lotus, as a metaphor for people: "The mud is not dirty, the branches are straight, the branches are not vines, the plants are graceful and clean, and the quality of a gentleman is removed." Every sentence implies that people's quality should be like lotus. On the surface, however, advocating lotus as a "gentleman in flowers" is just a metaphor between characters and flowers in order to make people regret it. There are naturally many requirements of personality, morality and behavior.
3.5 The scenery of lotus flowers is pleasant
Beautiful scenery is a combination of natural environment and natural objects on the earth. If it is just graceful and straight, without the reflection in the water and the dragonfly echoing back and forth, then the graceful and lonely lotus will be dull. No lotus scene is an absolutely isolated lotus. Occasionally, the colorless and invisible wind will be praised by the poet as "lotus wind", which is both fragrant and radiating, so there is "people are afraid of summer heat, and water shakes the wind alone" (monsoon sentence); "The ship moves into small waves and the wind floats" (the sentence of Emperor Taizong); "When the sun shines, the fragrance dissipates in the breeze" (Bai Juyi's sentence). The combination of wind and lotus obviously aroused the aesthetic feeling.
The beautiful scenery of lotus and other plants is very common and can also be fascinating. Such as: "A number of bamboo islands with stems curl up, and beautiful people are exposed to the garden" (D sentence). This shows that the load in the water and the bamboo on the shore are a good combination. The combination of lotus and willow is more common. For example, the poem of Zu Sundeng in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, "Weak willows hang down the green river, and new lotus bears a red bank"; Yang Wanli's poem: "After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will be in Liusi Township, Lotus World". There are many poems that set each other off, so I won't list them here.
