Source: Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period, Li Sao: "Lotus thinks clothes, lotus thinks clothes. I don't know. It's embarrassing. I feel like I believe it. High risk, Yulong Pei is separated. "

Since you have committed the crime of not making progress, come back and rebuild my old clothes. I want to cut diamond leaves into a coat, and I want to weave a skirt with lotus flowers. No one knows me, as long as my heart is really sweet and soft.

Appreciation of Li Sao:

As a masterpiece, Li Sao is extremely rich in ideological content, which can be summarized into two aspects. One is to describe the contradiction between poets and dynasty rulers, that is, the opposition between ideal and reality; The second is to describe the pain and entanglement of the poet's mind, the contradiction between enterprising and retiring.

Metaphor and symbolism are widely used in Li Sao. For example, picking herbs is a metaphor for strengthening self-cultivation, and wearing herbs is a metaphor for keeping clean. But the poet's means of expression is much better than the general metaphor.

For example, "lotus thinks clothes, hibiscus thinks clothes." I don't know if I'm already sad. If it's not enough, it's the loyalty of the other party. The square in the fourth sentence naturally comes from lotus and hibiscus, which takes care of the first two sentences, but it is also used to describe love. Therefore, although the words "like", "like" and "if" are not used or explained, the metaphor is self-evident.
