In order from top to bottom.

First I wrote about the leaves, high in the water, like the skirt of a graceful dancer;

Then I wrote about the flowers, white, some blooming gracefully, some shyly blooming. ; just like the pearls, and like the stars in the blue sky.

Then there is the fragrance of lotus, which can be smelled wherever the breeze passes, like the faint singing on a tall building in the distance.

Finally, I also wrote about flowing water. Although the flowing water is covered and cannot be seen, it leaves us with a lot of room for imagination. Extended information

Writing background

"Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" was written in July 1927, when the Great Revolution failed and white terror enveloped the land of China. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek rebelled against the revolution, and China was in darkness. As a "little pawn in the great era", Zhu Ziqing has been shouting and fighting, but after the April 12 coup, he went from the "cross streets" of struggle to the "ivory tower" of classical literature.

However, the author can neither write to join the army nor pick up a gun to make revolution, but he still cannot calm down his dissatisfaction and hatred of the dark reality. The author feels confused and conflicted about life, and he is depressed in his heart. Calm. So the author wrote this article. Through the description of the scenery of the lotus pond under the deserted moonlit night, this prose reveals the author's complex mood of wanting to find peace but not finding it, and fantasizing about transcending reality but being unable to transcend. This is exactly the reflection of that dark era on the author's mind.
