1. "Poems of Picking Lotus"

Tang Dynasty: Zhang Chao

The sun is red when the sand head comes out in the morning, and the clouds rise halfway across the river in the evening. Lai met the neighbor's daughter who once knew each other. They held a lotus boat together and were not afraid of the wind.

Translation:

The red sun shines brightly on the river bank in the morning; in the evening, winds and clouds rise over the river, and showers hit. Fortunately, I met the woman next door whom I already knew. The two lotus boats were put together so that they were not afraid of wind and rain.

2. "Autumn Lotus"

Yuan Dynasty: Liu Yin

The thin shadow is embarrassed, the light fragrance is faint, who wants to know? It is unbearable to see the beauty of the market, and even more so in the cold moonlight of Jiang Qing. I planned to spend the whole night in the Qingfang, but I didn't know that the white dew has already turned into autumn wind. The eyes of Shengsensen are still there, don't let the boat go empty.

Translation:

The lotus that blooms in summer cannot withstand the wind and frost in autumn and gradually withers. The faint fragrance no longer arouses the interest of passers-by. In the cold moonlight of the river, what is even more unbearable is that the flowers and leaves of the autumn lotus have fallen.

I originally thought that when the lotus pods grow, they can keep the autumn lotus blooming, but I don’t know that the autumn wind has already started blowing during the white dew. The changes in nature are the same as the changes in the human world. The ups and downs are clearly visible in my old eyes. It is better not to leave the wine glass on the boat empty and cherish the good times in front of you.

3. "Qingpingle Village Dwelling"

Song Dynasty: Xin Qiji

The eaves are low and the grass is green on the stream. When drunk, Wu Yin is very charming, but who is the old lady with gray hair? The eldest son is hoeing beans to the east of the stream, while the middle son is weaving a chicken coop. What I like most is when my child dies, lying down at the head of the stream and peeling lotus pods.

Translation:

The eaves of the thatched cottage are low and small, and the stream is covered with green grass. The drunken Wuchang dialect sounds gentle and beautiful. Whose family does that old man with white hair belong to? The eldest son was weeding in the bean field east of the stream, and the second son was busy weaving chicken coops. The most beloved one is the youngest son, who is lying in the grass at the head of the stream, peeling off the newly picked lotus pods.

4. "Lotus Picking Song"

Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling

The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, with hibiscus blooming on both sides of the face.

You can't see anyone entering the pool, but you can only feel someone coming when you hear the song.

Translation:

The green skirt of the lotus-picking girl blends into the fields of lotus leaves, as if one color, and the girl's face is hidden among the blooming lotus flowers, reflecting each other.

He blended into the lotus pond and disappeared. Only when he heard singing was he realized that someone was coming.

5. "Lotus Picking Song"

Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi

The lotus leaves linger in the waves and the wind blows, and the boat can pass through the depths of the lotus. ?

When the man wanted to speak, he lowered his head and smiled, while the jade scratched his head and fell into the water.

Translation:

The water chestnut leaves are floating on the water, the lotus leaves are swaying in the wind, and the lotus-picking boats are flying briskly. The lotus-picking girl met her sweetheart and wanted to say hello to him but was afraid of being laughed at. He lowered his head and smiled shyly, and accidentally, the hosta on his head fell into the water.
