Lotus Prose in Hometown

Living in a bustling city, whenever I feel restless in the face of endless homework, I always think of a poem by Li Bai-"A beautiful spring is born on a blue lotus, and the morning sun is bright and fresh". You can't see the lotus flowers like your hometown in the city. The pink buds are graceful and clean, and they look exquisite and elegant against the bright lotus leaves. Lotus, a plant that loves quiet environment, is probably not suitable for growing in noisy cities.

My hometown is on the Lion River in the Pearl River Estuary, where there is Lotus Hill. Lianhua Mountain was a quarry in ancient times. After hundreds of years of mining, mountains or cliffs or grotesque caves are rugged and quiet, or majestic and tall. There are all kinds of lotus flowers in the lakes and ponds on the mountain. Every summer, all kinds of lotus flowers bloom in the hot sun. The flower shadow enters the wave, as if it were sunrise; On the dark green lotus leaf, water drops are like pearls, and the breeze blows. With the swaying and rolling of lotus leaves, the lake is graceful and green.

There is no enchanting rose, no lofty Jin Ju, no fortitude of Chimonanthus praecox, and the lotus has a leisurely and indomitable bearing. Elegant peony can only be used for viewing, elegant lotus can also be used as medicine and can be made into various delicacies. Lotus root, lotus leaf, lotus flower and lotus plumule are all very popular medicinal foods. Lotus seed porridge, Lalianfu, lotus seed powder, lotus root slices with meat, steamed meat with lotus leaves, lotus leaf porridge and other snacks are countless. People often say that "there are Ao Shuang branches in the chrysanthemum", but they ignore the fact that there are many pests and diseases in chrysanthemum cultivation. Although lotus is rooted in silt, it has no pests. The stomatal contraction of mature lotus seed peel is very small, and its special tissue structure can even ensure that lotus seeds are buried underground for thousands of years without being damaged. Lotus not only has ornamental value.

"Its posture is quite exhibition, bright and fresh; His appearance is pleasant, and he is proud to be independent; Its roots are like jade and colorless; Its stem is empty, without five aggregates; Its leaves are as green as blue and clear from the middle; Its silk is like a wisp, stretching constantly; Its flowers are solemn and fragrant and last for a long time; No branches, no vines, no hanging; More like lotus seeds, painstaking as Buddha; Teach people to live in pure land. " In Buddhism, lotus has a profound meaning. In the traditional culture of China, lotus symbolizes purity and elegance, purity and detachment. Zhou Dunyi's Love Lotus inspires people that the true purity of lotus lies not in the body, but in the heart.

Even if her feet are dirty and muddy, she still keeps her ambition, sticks to her principles, is not affected by the environment and does not go with the flow. This is the deepest impression that Lotus gives me. Living in the city, the relationship between people is not as pure as when they were in their hometown. I always feel that there are more things in the city than in the countryside. Material life is rich, but there is less simple emotion and more intrigue. There are many people in the city who excessively pursue the so-called "success"-endless enjoyment of life, gradually losing themselves and being entangled in external things. They are intoxicated by consumption and led by the secular.

Lotus in my hometown allows me to stick to my beliefs, not impetuous or impatient. Whenever I think of lotus leaves and clean lotus flowers on the lotus lake, I will think of the paradise described by Tao Yuanming, the noble quality and the sincere and friendly relationship between people. "Lotus" is homophonic with "harmony" and "Lian" is homophonic with "Lian". Lotus can be a symbol of peace, harmony, cooperation and unity. Advocating lotus is not the harmonious coexistence between people and between people and society.

Lotus, an idle flower, is used by some people to express their light leisure, and others to express their interest in life. Lotus is born for human beings, highlighting the solar term of "out of the mud without dyeing, clear without demon"; People become open-minded, cheerful and carefree because they like lotus flowers.

Lotus leaf field, let me unforgettable for a long time. Meng Haoran once wrote such a poem: "The mountain light in the west suddenly passed away, and the moon in the east slowly rose from the lake. Hang your hair in the shade at night, open the window and lie down in a quiet and spacious place. The evening breeze sent waves of lotus fragrance, and the dew on the bamboo leaves made a crisp sound. I thought I would want to make a song, make a song, I just hate my friends in front of me. So I think of you, old friend. You are the bane of my midnight dream. " Leaving the countryside and living in a bustling city, I only long for a melodious flute and a faint fragrance, which reminds me of the quiet and peaceful Lotus Lake in my hometown.
