That year, that lotus, that time

Although I am in the cold winter of the north, the heavy snow has blocked the roads, and it is inconvenient to travel far. But I thought of the lotus I saw in Xi'an Botanical Garden in summer. Looking at the photos, the beauty of that year and that time gradually rose in my heart. Lotus, 'the flower of water and land plants, the lovable ones are very abundant. It comes out of the silt but not stained, it washes clear and not demon, it is straight inside and outside, it does not creep or branch, the fragrance is clearer, the plant is clean and upright, it can be viewed from a distance but not be played with disrespectfully.' This is the concise summary of the lotus by the literati of the Northern Song Dynasty! It can be said to be moderate and accurate. Lotus, self-purification, is also a portrayal of the quality of the literati and scholars of the generation. Snow Xiaochan's original name has a lotus character. In that era, many girls were named Lotus, which implies a lot of beautiful and good... Life wishes to be simple, like a lotus blooming quietly
