The meaning and quality of lotus

The Chinese goddess of flowers in June is showing off her peerless beauty in the scorching summer sun, "lightly and gracefully, adorning the garden." "The pool is also pitiful": Humble Administrator's Garden has "lotus on four walls and willows on three sides", the fragrance in the art garden pool is dark, the Yiyuan Garden is green and fragrant, and there are three thousand lotus flowers, and the retreat garden also has cold fragrance flying up to the poem... Sunny In the day, it is like a green cover on the water, covered with red makeup and blooming with colorful lotuses. After the rain, you can look at the pond and see the crystals in the jasper plate... The ancients said: "There is no beauty in spring terrace, and no flowers bloom in hibiscus." This is true. .

Lotus, in Chinese culture, is also an object of appreciation among the three religions. "Qun Fang Pu - Lotus" says: "Peanuts are the most beautiful in the pond. All things are blooming first and then solid. This is the only one where all the flowers and solids grow together. Hundreds of knots are smooth, and all the orifices are exquisite. Pavilions and pavilions emerge from the mud but are not stained. In the flowers A gentleman." Become a representative of beauty, purity and steadfastness. "The Book of Songs" has "scorching hibiscus", which is beautiful for its shape. Qu Yuan "made hibiscus for clothes, and gathered hibiscus for clothes", which is clean.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, lotus has been infiltrated into Buddhist connotations. Buddhism was founded in India, a land of drought and scorching heat. Indians are born with a love for green shade and clear water, and they naturally love the hibiscus with disk-like green leaves. According to legend, Brahma of Brahmanism was born sitting on a lotus. Buddhism caters to the public's love for lotus and promotes Buddhism. Buddhism believes that the real world is a piece of filthy mud, but Buddhism makes people unpolluted, transcendent, and reach a pure and unobstructed state. Therefore, the lotus flower that emerges from the mud but remains unstained is used as a metaphor.

Buddhism has a legend about lotuses growing step by step. According to "Buddha's Collection of Sutras Born under the Tree", Sakyamuni "was born in Lumbini Garden without anyone to support him, so he walked around everywhere. He took seven steps on each side, raised his feet step by step, and a big lotus flower emerged." There is also a legend about the deer girl growing lotuses every step of the way.

"Miscellaneous Treasure Sutra: Lotus Lady's Fate" records that Devayan, a Brahmin who studied immortality on the edge of the snow-capped mountains, "often urinates on a stone, and there is a flow of essence flowing down the stone. A female deer comes to lick the place where he urinates, even if he is pregnant." Full term. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, who was so upright and wonderful that she was called the "Deer Girl". When she grew up, she was "able to walk, and lotus blossoms sprouted from wherever her feet touched the ground." After the Deer Girl, she became the Princess of Utiyan and gave birth to five hundred sons, all of whom became "Pratyeka Buddhas". The lotus flowers growing step by step contain the sacred meaning of the path to purity and liberation. This should be the sacred meaning of the lotus paving the garden.

Lotus has become a magical weapon in the hands of He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals in Taoism. Zhu Da, who is both a monk and a Taoist, chose the living environment of "thatched cottage outside the bamboo pavilion under the oak, half a pond of lotus leaves and half a pond of water chestnuts" ("Inscribed on Lotus").

China has loved lotus since ancient times. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were decorative patterns of lotus on bronzes and pottery. It is also the most commonly used and beautiful pattern and shape on various architectural decorations, sculpture crafts and daily utensils. .

Zhang Chao of the Qing Dynasty said that "Lianxi is a confidant of Lianxi" ("Youmengying"), which refers to Zhou Dunyi, an acting scholar of the Song Dynasty who named himself "Lianxi", who built a small house under Lianhua Peak in Lushan Mountain. On the stream, he wrote "The Story of Love Lotus", which blends emotion and reason, and is charming and handsome. Zhou made a detailed and vivid description of the lotus, praising its fragrance, cleanliness, erectness, and trim characteristics as well as its elegant and refined look, which is a metaphor for the perfection, purity, and purity of human nature. The characteristics of the lotus and the character of the gentleman are seamlessly blended, and in fact it also integrates the origins of Buddhism, forming the artistic conception of Suzhou garden attractions such as the "Yuanxiang Hall" and "Lotus Pavilion" in the Humble Administrator's Garden. Zhou Dunyi's "Shuo on Love of the Lotus" is like an immortal "Ode to the Lotus", "winning a reputation that will be passed down for generations".

The elegance and purity of the lotus flower has become a symbol of conveying love. There is an ancient tradition of picking lotus flowers in autumn to cherish loved ones. The famous love poem "Xizhou Song" from the Southern Dynasties uses "lotus root" as a pun on "even" and "lotus" as a pun on "pity". The sentiment is meaningful and expresses the deep affection for the lover. .

The delicacy of lotus is as mentioned above, but Chinese literati also ate it elegantly when using lotus in their dishes. During the Three Kingdoms period, some people used lotus leaves to make wine cups, so that "the wine tastes mixed with lotus spirit". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty used morning dew on lotus leaves to make tea, which was called Lotus Dew Qingming. The wife of Shen Fu, a native of Suzhou, held the lotus in the evening and bloomed in the morning when the lotus first bloomed in the summer. She used a small gauze bag to pick up a few tea leaves and placed them in the heart of the flower. This is the elegance of drinking, the aesthetic of "turning the mundane into the extraordinary". Shen Fu also interestingly described the process of cultivating bowl lotus: "Tear the two ends of old lotus seeds thinly, put them into eggshells to make chicken wings, take them out when they are young, add two-tenths of Asparagus asparagus with old bird's nest mud, Mash it and mix well, plant it in a small vessel, fill it with river water, and expose it to the morning sun; the flowers will be as big as a wine glass, and the leaves will be as small as the mouth of a bowl, and they will be graceful and cute." ("Six Chapters of a Floating Life") The profoundness of aesthetic philosophy and intellectuals. The spirit of spiritual elegance in spiritual life is naturally revealed in this eloquent narrative.

The lotus "has the essence of five grains, but does not have its name; it has the strengths of hundreds of flowers, but eliminates its shortcomings" (Li Yu's "Xian Qing Ou Ji"), it is not publicity, it is honest, respectable and lovely .
