The simple lotus rhyme in Luolong Lake

Text/Yalan

Luolong Park is not close to me, so I can't go there often. The last time I went was a few years ago. I happened to have dinner with my friends near Luolong Park. After dinner, I went for a walk in the park. I don't remember whether it was spring or autumn. I only remember that it was one night. There are many people in Luolong Park surrounded by black. There are many lovers on the path, whispering and holding hands. The night is also ambiguous because of lust. Playing with friends, it seems that we are in the wrong place, living in other people's love territory like intruders. Our appearance highlights the hardness and astringency of birth, impacting softness and making us uneasy. The sudden rush of life and the night of Luolong seem to be out of place. Finally, I abandoned my helmet and fled. Luolong was naive and soft, so I said goodbye to Luolong. I hope the next opportunity is full.

I have something to pay tribute to two days ago, and my work place is just near Luolong Park. I accidentally couldn't contact the person I made an appointment with, so I drove directly to the entrance of Luolong Park to find a place to park. It's better to hit the sun another day. Let's go to Luolong Park again. In early autumn, it is neither too cold nor too hot, and there is no scorching sun overhead, which makes people feel much warmer. As soon as you enter the park, green comes into your eyes and you love jade. By Luolong Lake, green willows are like curtains, and red roses raise their fists and beat the sky angrily. At the low brow, the pink lady-like azaleas also spread their petals in a high-profile way, and they were unwilling to open them. Slow down and put flowers in your eyes. Walk all the way, watch all the way, and be slow all the way. A little girl in front reached out playfully to pinch a azalea and exclaimed, "Don't pick flowers, little friend." The little girl looked back at me blankly, and her grandmother scolded: "Everyone picks a flower, how many flowers are there?"

It's good for an old rural woman to have such knowledge. The little girl was embarrassed by her grandmother's education and bowed her head. Walking with friends, I found that Luolong Lake was full of yellow water lilies, all of which were light yellow and green like glass, which made a pool of clear water no longer dull in color, but had a rich dreamy feeling. Usually, most of the water lilies I see are pink and yellow, but they are only pink embellishments and have never appeared as the protagonist. At this moment, Luolonghu has given Huang Shuilian a stage to be her protagonist freely. Water lilies and lotus flowers are always confused by stupidity. There is a folk proverb: "A dead lotus is a lotus root." Lotus and lotus belong to the same plant. In ancient times, lotus was the general name of this plant. Up to now, the name of lotus is more elegant, and the location of bodhisattva in Buddhism is called Lotus Terrace. The name Lotus is spoken, which means the same thing. Lotus and lotus are also the same plant, similar to nicknames and scientific names. According to the explanation in the Book of Songs Erya, lotus is a plant with leaves called withers and flowers called cymbals, and the unopened lotus is a lotus. The fruit is called lotus, and the root is called lotus root. Lotus refers to the fruit of lotus that people often see. Lotus is also a lotus seed, which can clear away heat and detoxify. The green nucleus inside will be bitter, but it is a good medicine for getting angry. Later, it was said that it was because northerners rarely saw lotus flowers. This statement has not been verified, so it was gradually called miscellaneous. In fact, the lotus in everyone's mouth is the lotus, and the lotus is indeed the lotus, but the name is different. So there is this sentence: "A dead lotus is a lotus root." Proverbs

But the water lily, which is different from the lotus, is another completely different species from the lotus. Although there is a lotus in the name, the water lily is a water lily, not a lotus, and certainly not a lotus. It is a dislocation to call the water lily lotus. Water lilies are completely different from lotus flowers and lotus flowers that we often say. They are two different plants. The nickname of water lily is water lily, but it is not lotus, but the flowers are similar. Moreover, lotus and water lily are two aquatic flowers belonging to different genera. Although both belong to Nymphaeaceae, they are quite different. Lotus is a lotus plant and water lily is a water lily plant, which is their essential difference. Lotus root is called lotus root, which is a kind of delicious food. It is said that the origin of water lilies is the earliest in Egypt. The roots of water lilies are inedible, have no edible value, and cannot make all kinds of delicious food like lotus roots.

There is also an easy-to-remember way to distinguish lotus flowers from water lilies. Lotus leaves and flowers are above the water. Look carefully, the lotus leaves are covered with small fluff, round and complete, without gaps. The surface of water lily leaves is smooth without long fluff, but there are small gaps different from lotus leaves. Lotus leaves and flowers are above the water surface, while water lilies grow close to the water surface. Flowers float on the water surface, opening during the day and closing at night, hence the name "water lilies". The flower size of water lily is like a small cup, but the lotus flower is very big and looks like a pot. Having said that, lotus is still lotus. Water lilies are not lotus flowers. Just like all horses, except that seahorses are not horses.

There are not too many people in Luolong Lake, and they are in a leisurely mood, so they walk around aimlessly. After several turns, they suddenly saw a small bamboo forest, a winding path leading to the depths of the bamboo forest, and green was hooked everywhere. Slow down, slow down. What's wrong? Although you can't do what Mr. Dongpo said, "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo", you can always look at it more.

With the quietness of bamboo as the background, the unhappiness of being fooled gradually faded away with the thick green of the tent and gradually disappeared without a trace. Everything is the best arrangement. If not, I can't let go of this Luolong Lake. Simply throw away the worldly people and things, and only blend in with the green plants in this lake.

Walking by the lake, the grass grows and the warbler flies. It is hard to imagine that there is such a lake where birds can fly, and there is such harmony between man and nature. Tired of walking, I stopped in a chair by the lake and saw that the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the tall buildings opposite were rising. Looking back, I saw a fake pink-blue leading flower, living by the water, and thought of Wang Wei's "New Sunny Wild Hope":

After the rain, the new clear sky is particularly open, and the vision is open without any fog and dust.

The gatehouse of the outer city is close to the ferry pier, and the trees at the edge of the village connect the stream and the estuary.

The silvery white river is shining in the fields, especially bright, and the green mountains stand behind the ridge.

It is the busy farming season, there are no idle people, and farmers are busy going to the fields.

False bibcock flower is also called loose grass. I prefer this name. Pink and blue flowers bloom all the way, flourish at will, and open at will. It turns out that every flower is a reckless willfulness.

Everyone has his own way to record the beauty of a city. Sitting on the bank of Luolong Lake, it is inevitable to recall the Cuihu Lake, which is similar to her and known as the "Eye of Kunming". If Cuihu Lake is the eye of Kunming, then Luolonghu Lake will certainly be entitled as the eye of tribute, because the natural landscapes of the two lakes are so similar. The Cuihu described by Mr. Lao She is like this: most street names in Kunming are elegant. Needless to say, Golden Horse, Blue Chicken and so on, even the Jade Dragon Pile and Mister Slope near Indigo Lane are pleasing to the eye.

There is a green lake near Indigo Lane, which is not as big and rich as the Three Seas in Beiping, but, in my opinion, it is better than Shichahai. There are lotus seeds in the lake; There are bamboo forests on the shore, which is quite handsome. The most distinctive is auricularia auricula, which blooms in pieces. This mosaic is very thick, a bit like a pig's ear. In Beiping, we call Eichhornia crassipes, which looks like flowers. There are black spots on the petals, like eyes. The leaves are green, thick and shiny; Flowers are pink-blue, bright and beautiful in the sunshine and moonlight.

Taste these mo Xiang, also give birth to some doubts. I think the leaves of water lilies in Luolong Lake are dark green and thick, and they also look like pig ears. Mr. Lao She can't help knowing water lilies. What kind of flowers and plants are the pig ears mentioned in this article in the lake? There are black spots on the petals, like eyes. The leaves are green, thick and shiny. The flowers in powder blue look like what we call Eichhornia crassipes, which is also commonly known as water hyacinth in Kunming. Eichhornia crassipes mentioned by Lao She is also called auricularia auricula. Is it our water hyacinth? There is no solution to this unsolved case. The water lily in front of me won't give me an answer, just give me elegance.

Along the way, the sunset, blue sky, green water and Yalian are all beautiful. At this moment, beauty and beauty are * * *. There are many high-rise buildings in the distance, and the reflection is in Luolong Lake, which adds a bit of modernity to Luolong Lake. Nine songs in the corridor, red column and Liu Bi, tired from walking. I leaned on the cloister and looked at a pool of water lilies. The leaves of yellow water lilies are green, but the flowers are golden, like brilliant flames. Luolong Lake is sparkling, the water surface lines are soft and tender, and water lilies chase all the way, one after another, like impatient girls, pouncing on distant lovers. The seemingly random and natural layout in front of me suddenly reminds me of the oil painting "Water Lily". How similar the scene is, it's a little trance. Are they Monet's water lily? Is this Monet's secret garden?
