How much do you know about the symbolic meaning and language of lotus (lotus)

In Buddhism, it is regarded as the symbol of the Pure Land of the West and the place where the soul is conceived. The Buddha's body is often placed on top of the lotus flower, so the Buddha seat is also called the lotus seat. Poets throughout the ages praised the lotus as a gentleman and gave it a holy image, praising the lotus out of the mud and not demon. The lotus is also called the lotus. Its double-flowered lotus is a sign of a prosperous life and a symbol of pure love. Among the flowers, it is the only one that can co-exist with flowers, fruits (lotus roots) and seeds (lotus seeds). Lotus has become a favorite famous flower in China with its comprehensive symbol of beauty, love, longevity and holiness, so it is often combined with "Lian" in the traditional auspicious pattern.

Since ancient times, people like beautiful, fragrant flowers, but I like lotus flowers that are muddy and unstained. Lotus out of the mud but not dyed, born in the mud, grow in the wind and rain, just out of the wind and rain out of the mud but not stained flowers. Lotus does not have high requirements for growth conditions, and it can thrive even in sludge. In the lotus pond, it is generally relatively stable, that is because the lotus likes relatively stable still water and does not like the flowing water with great disparity in fluctuation, so the lotus gives people a fresh and elegant feeling. The lotus is not as flamboyant as other flowers, relatively modest and not proud, so everyone will like it even if it grows in the mud.

The lotus symbolizes purity. Lotus is the symbol and emissary of friendship. In ancient China, there was a tradition of "giving away plum in spring and picking lotus in autumn".

Although Hanmei is arrogant, she stands upright in the water. But the lotus is also strong and unyielding. Since ancient times, there are also many people with lotus quality in China. Tao Yuanming is one of them. He is not arrogant, but "out of the mud without stain, Zhuo Qinglian but not demon"!

Tao Yuanming was born in troubled times, but he has deep attainments in Chinese literature. "picking wild flowers by the fence and accidentally seeing Nanshan" is a famous poem written by Tao Yuanming. It is these troubled times "mud" that created such a famous Tao Yuanming in history! He stands like a white lotus in the mud. Tao Yuanming's poor family, but it is this, the achievement of Tao Yuanming out of the mud but not stained style, hard struggle, the achievement of his life!

"Don't splash the water on the pole, afraid to wet the red lotus clothes." Wang Wei once mentioned this poem. For fear of soiling the holy lotus.
