What is Lotus's philosophy of life?

Total 1

In the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi wrote "Love Lotus": "Love Lotus never touches the mud, but it is bright and not demon." Lotus grows in mud, but it can lead an honest and clean life and maintain lofty moral integrity. The same is true of being a man. Don't go with the flow, always adhere to the true colors, which is more worthy of respect.

Don't forget your innovative spirit, so as to achieve your ultimate goal! Men should also learn from the lotus, "muddy but not dirty, clear but not demon, ripple but not demon." An upright person is open and poised, and insists on the qualities of loyalty, purity, innocence and integrity.

2. Inclusive absorption

More plants grow in dirty and filthy places; There are often no fish and shrimp in clear water. The sea knows how to accommodate and absorb all rivers, and finally it can accommodate; Lotus is nourished by sludge, and the longer the better. In the same way, people should know how to tolerate everything, draw nutrition from the "fertile soil" of setbacks and hardships, strengthen their bones and muscles, and increase their minds and abilities.

To be a man, we should learn from the lotus to hide evil and accept evil, and tolerate and absorb it; But don't pretend to be lofty with lofty preferences, so that "the observer is not a disciple" is blocked everywhere. Low water is the sea, low people are kings, humble people are all-encompassing, peaceful yin and yang, and can absorb good and bad more and more.

plant culture

1. Because "lotus" is homophonic with "harmony" and "lotus" is homophonic with "Lian" and "Lian", in the traditional culture of China, lotus is often used as a symbol of peace, harmony, cooperation, resultant force, unity and unity. The nobility of lotus symbolizes the cause of peace and the nobility of a harmonious world.

2. Therefore, in a sense, rewarding the lotus is also a promotion of China's "harmony" culture. Lotus varieties are rich and colorful, which means "harmony but difference", but together they form a noble lotus world, which means "harmony but difference is more precious". I sincerely hope that in the process of promoting the culture of peace and harmony, the lotus culture can be understood and familiar by more people.

Carrying forward Chinese "harmony" culture is of special significance for us to promote the reunification of the motherland, safeguard world peace and build a harmonious society.
