Fan Zhongyan's "Theory of Love of Lotus":

The flowers of land and water, vegetation, are very lovely. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang, people have loved peonies very much. I only love the lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained; it is clear in the ripples without being demonic; it is straight in the middle and straight in the outside; it does not creep or branch; its fragrance becomes clearer from a distance; its pavilion is clean and planted; it can be viewed from a distance but not played with.

Wading the river to pick hibiscus (sixth of nineteen ancient poems)

Wading the river to pick hibiscus,

There are many fragrant grasses in Lanze.

Who do you want to leave behind?

My thoughts are far away.

I still look back at my old hometown.

The road is long and long.

Separated from one heart and another,

Sorrowful to end old age

The book is presented to Liang Zai, the prefect of Jiangxia Wei (Excerpt)

Clear water produces hibiscus ,

Natural removal of carvings.

Quatrains (Part 7)

Populas are spread out on white felt along the path,

Green coins are stacked on top of lotus leaves in the stream.

No one can see the young bamboo shoots,

The chicks sleep next to their mothers on the sand.

Xizhou Song

Recalling the plum blossoms coming to Xizhou,

breaking the plum blossoms and sending them to the north of the Yangtze River.

The single shirt is apricot red,

The pair of temples are the color of a crow.

Where is Xizhou?

Two oars bridge crossing.

At dusk, shrike flies,

The wind blows on the tallow trees.

Under the tree is in front of the door,

There is a green thorn in the door.

The doorman didn't come, so I went out to pick red lotus.

Collecting lotus flowers in Nantang in autumn,

The lotus flowers exceed people’s heads.

Lower your head to pick up the lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds are as green as water.

Put it in the lotus sleeve,

The lotus heart is completely red.

Remembering Lang Lang is not here,

Looking up at Feihong.

Hongfei is all over Xizhou,

Wang Lang goes to the brothel.

The building is so high that you can’t see it,

the top of the railing is as bright as the sun.

The railing has twelve curves,

The hanging hand is as bright as jade.

The rolling curtain sky is high,

The sea water shakes the sky green.

The sea water is a long dream,

You are worried and I am also worried.

The south wind knows my wishes,

It blows my dreams to Xizhou.

Withered lotus

Thousands of green lotuses have faded away,

There is no cover for sleeping gulls in the rain.

At that time, the pile of green money was full,

Do you believe that there is late autumn in the pond?

Lotus

The moss is cut through to make a small pond,

The lotus flowers are divided into different shades of green.

On a wave of smoke at dawn,

It looks like a real concubine coming out of the bath.

White Lotus

At midnight last night,

Chang'e dropped the jade hairpin.

Feng Yi didn't dare to accept it,

he held out his heart.

White Lotus

Su Yin is often deceived by others,

This flower ends up in Yaochi.

Who can see the ruthlessness and hatred?

When the moon is clear and the wind is about to fall.

Giving Lotus Flowers (Li Shangyin, Tang Dynasty)

The flowers and leaves in the world are inconsistent,

The flowers enter the golden basin and the leaves become dust.

There are only green lotuses and red lotuses,

The volumes are relaxed and open, and they are innocent.

This flower and this leaf grow in harmony with each other,

The green is reduced and the red is declining, and the sorrow is killing!

White Lotus (Lu Guimeng)

There are many plain flowers but don’t be deceived by them.

This flower is really suitable for Yaochi.

Who knows that there is hatred in ruthlessness?

When the moon is clear and the wind is about to fall.

Lian (Song Dynasty. Yang Wanli)

I bought a lotus house in the city, but I didn't arrive at the West Lake for a wild trip.

Hang the lotus and peel the lotus seeds,

The dew is flavorful and the moon is fragrant.

Lotus leaves (Zhenggu)

The water splashing in the boat is different from the green,

The handle is fragrant when leaning against the threshold and the wind blows.

Thank you for not breaking the yarn.

I left it to cover the mandarin ducks in the rain.

Lotus Picking Song (Tang Dynasty. Wang Changling)

The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus blooms to both sides of the face.

You can’t see anyone entering the pool.

When you hear the song, you realize someone is coming.

Sent Lin Zifang off at Jingci Temple at dawn (Song Dynasty, Yang Wanli)

After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is different from that of the four seasons.

The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green,

The lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red.

Liantang (Zhu Kesheng, Qing Dynasty)

In the lotus pond at dusk,

two mandarin ducks were bathing in the water.

Fly low and not far away,

Only beside the lotus.

Picture of Wind Lotus Playing with Fish (Yun Shouping, Qing Dynasty)

The wind will scatter the green leaves,

The fragrance is about to turn into dew.

The beauty picked red lotus,

I once passed Nantang Road.

Lotus (Cao Yin, Qing Dynasty)

One autumn cloud and a little cloud,

A lotus leaf with five flowers.

There is no need to close the door to sleep by the lake,

The cool breeze fills the house every night.

Attached are modern verses about chanting water lilies:

Praise to water lilies

There is so much charm in the wind, and even more ecstasy in the drizzle.

The Fairy Lingbo is about to sleep, so don’t disturb the sleeping beauty in the pool.

"Ode to Orchid" by Zhou Tianhou

The green leaves and light flowers are fragrant, and the courtyard in the mountains embraces the fragrance.

The quality of the favor cannot be tolerated by the running water, so how can the dew of flowers harm the sorrowful intestines.

Who walks lightly on the path and pours a few glasses of residual wine into the rivers.

To pity the flowers, one needs to understand the language of flowers, and the poems and souls of flowers are passed down to Xiaoxiang.
