So how much do we really understand about lotus flowers? Today, the small mentors of Bihe Bay will introduce the symbolism and meaning of the lotus flower.
Symbolism of the lotus flower: purity, sanctity
The lotus flower has always been revered by Buddhism as a sacred and clean flower, and it strongly advocates learning the purity and sanctity of the lotus. Zhou Dunyi's famous essay "Ode to the Lotus" describes it as "unstained by the mud from which it grows," regarding it as a symbol of purity and noble character. Moreover, Li Bai's lines "Clear water produces a lotus, naturally removing decorations" also indicate the natural beauty of the lotus flower.
Symbolism of the lotus flower: auspiciousness
"He" and "he" are homophones. In Buddhism's eight treasures of auspiciousness, the lotus is at the forefront. Additionally, in folk auspicious paintings "Hehe Xianren," one person holds a lotus and the other holds a box, expressing the meaning of "harmony." In the legend of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, He Xian'gu holds a lotus as a symbol of peace and good fortune.
Symbolism of the lotus flower: integrity
The lotus is also known as green lotus, and green lotus is a homophone for "integrity." Therefore, the lotus is often used as a metaphor for an honest official who does not conform to evil practices. This symbolism is mainly used in officialdom. In many scholars' studies, there is a painting called "A Path of Integrity," which consists of green lotus and white herons.
Symbolism of the lotus flower: love
In daily life, we often hear people say "so-and-so and so-and-so have an unbreakable connection," which actually means that there is still a connection between men and women. In fact, the symbolism of the lotus flower in love has been recorded as early as the Tang Dynasty. The famous poet Wang Bo wrote in "Lotus Gathering Song," "The flowers are tied together, and the藕 threads are unbreakable," symbolizing the intertwined love between men and women.
Symbolism of the lotus flower: beauty
As early as in the "Book of Songs," there were sentences comparing the lotus to a beauty. In "Guofeng Chen Wind Zepi," there is such a line: "By the marshes, there are rushes and lotuses. A beautiful person, how can one bear it? Day and night, unable to do anything, tears and snot flow like rain." The poem describes a man comparing the lotus to a beauty he has long admired, feeling very sad because he has not seen her for a long time. Whether awake or asleep, his tears and snot flow down like rain.
Symbolism of the lotus flower: friendship
In ancient times, there was a tradition of breaking梅花 in spring to send to those far away and picking lotus in autumn to miss someone. This shows that the lotus flower also symbolizes the pure friendship between people.
In fact, every part of the lotus flower is of great use to people. The rhizome can be eaten, the莲子 have good nourishing effects, and the rhizome node, leaves, etc., are good herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. The lotus flower can be appreciated, and the place where the lotus grows can also purify the water and optimize the environment.
"Every part is a treasure," this saying is perfectly suited to describe the lotus flower! The lotus flowers in Bihe Bay are even more so.
