There are many landscapes about water and lotus flowers in Nalan Xingde's poems.

First of all, its other industry is called "Dew Pavilion". No matter how controversial the location of Lvshuige is at present, no matter it is on the Shichahai side of Beijing, under the Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs, or by the Yu He River in Zaojiatun, its fief, there is no water word left. Is it a building near the water or a garden with water? For water, Nalan has a special liking for morality. In the traditional culture of China, water is regarded as a living substance and is considered beneficial. The virtue of using water is better than a gentleman. Moisturizes all things, is warm and firm, and flows endlessly, giving it philosophical connotation from the perspective of material principle. This is what the poet Nalan Xingde pays special attention to.

There are many descriptions of lotus flowers in Nalan Xingde's poems. It is more appropriate to compare the noble character of Nalan's son with lotus. Getting rid of mud and sticking to it is the realm advocated by scholars and elegant people. It originates from the relevant teachings of Buddhism, and regards lotus as a symbol of the other. In the traditional culture of China, the "four gentlemen" such as plum, bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, pine and cypress, lotus flower are personified, which endows people with personality, emotion and interest and makes them have specific cultural and philosophical connotations. Zheng Banqiao's bamboo, Jin Nong's plum, and Cao Xueqin's stone have all become cultural totems that entrust literati's mentality and feelings. However, Nalan Xingde recognized the lotus. His name is Lengga Mountain, and people who have Zen values lotus more.

Where Nalan Xingde lives and enjoys, there is water, and the lotus in the water cultivates the poet's temperament. There are ten miles of hibiscus on the banks of Wengshan Lake, a hibiscus hall under Yuquan Mountain, a clear water lotus pond next to the green water pavilion, and the West Garden site of Zaojiatun Pearl Garden, with lotus-patterned white marble railings unearthed ... All these show that it is closely related to Nalan Xingde's life and creation, and always exists with the poet's spirit.
