White Lotus

Lu Guimeng

The plain flowers are mostly covered with flowers, but they are not beautiful. This flower ends in Yaochi.

Who can feel the ruthlessness and hatred? When the moonlight is clear and the wind is about to fall.

Translation

Elegant flowers are often deceived by bright flowers, but white lotus should always grow in Yaochi.

The moon is bright, the wind is clear, the flowers are about to wither, there is only hatred but no ruthlessness, who understands you?

"White Lotus" is a poem written by Lu Guimeng, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes the white lotus falling with resentment unknowingly, which is a metaphor for the fact that in the dark feudal society, people who are clean and self-sufficient are always ignored and excluded, and can only be buried in obscurity, which expresses the knowledge of the feudal era. The molecules' mentality of self-admiration and unrecognized talents. The poem "White Lotus" derives new ideas from the line "plain flowers are often deceived by beauty"; however, it does not stick to the description of color, nor does it focus on the depiction of shape, but writes the spirit of the flower. In contrast, Bie Yan refers to a villain who pursues fame, fortune and influence.
