Xia He: You can watch from a distance. Don't be ridiculous.

It is not a national flower, but it has been followed by China people for generations.

Whenever summer comes, there will be countless lotus fields in China. Lotus is one of the most common aquatic plants in China. It is widely planted, and bonsai in wetlands, parks and even ancient courtyards can be seen everywhere. From ancient times to the present, there are countless poems, songs, calligraphy and paintings and modern photographs about it, which shows people's love for it.

Lotus is full of treasures, including lotus leaves, lotus roots and lotus seeds. Every organ can capture the beauty's heart. The large, smooth round lotus leaves always remind people of the summer afternoon used to shelter from the rain. Thick lotus roots and tiny lotus seeds can always stimulate all kinds of taste buds, or pink or white lotus flowers can always attract people to stop and watch, and whether the honeycomb shower will suddenly spray water.

It is medicine, food, art, folklore, poetry, legend, religion and political culture. But the words "please read and recite the full text" after class are still the most memorable. If I remember correctly, it seems that many lotus-related texts have to be memorized. Whether it is Zhou Dunyi's Love Lotus or Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond.

The beauty of lotus lies in the endless lotus leaves, different red lotus flowers reflecting sunlight, the classroom with bright reading sound, clean and clear children's voices, the wonderful pen of artistic calligraphy, and the noble and clean quality of muddy but not stained. It is said that you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous.
