Lotus is known as one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Its flowers are big, the color is clean, the leaves are round and the fragrance is overflowing. The appearance of flowers and leaves is pleasing to the eye, appealing to both refined and popular tastes. In the Yin and Zhou Dynasties more than 900 years before BC, people called lotus lotus lotus, and the origin of its name can be traced back to the "well-field system" of state-owned land. "On Mencius Teng Wengong" records that there are wells in the square, with 900 mu of wells, of which 8 mu are public fields, and 8 mu are privately owned, raising public fields together ... ",which means that the land in each square is divided into nine areas according to the shape of wells, with the middle area being public fields, the remaining eight areas being private fields, and the public fields being divided into eight (that is, eight). During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Ji wrote in Shi Mao's Poems on Plants, Trees, Fish and Insects: "Anyone who can be a husband or a canal is called a lotus." "Fu" is synonymous with 100 mu of land here; "Canal" and "Shuowen" explained "aquatic", which was also for saving and hoarding solutions at that time. Example: There is a saying in Biography of Zhang Han Tang: "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups". Water lives in still water such as lakes, lakes and stagnant lakes in modern Chinese. Land machine means: what plants will cover 100 mu of land and lakes soon, and only lotus (lotus) has such growth potential. "Lotus" is named for its growth potential. Xu Shen in the Han Dynasty said in the definition of six books (six conditions for word-making) that "it refers to things (words made according to this), while" seeing and knowing, observing and understanding "refers to words made according to the connotation of things, which can recognize their own forms when they are seen and know the meaning of words when they are observed. Lotus is a herb, so it has changed from grass to a special term. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the elegant charm of lotus has entered people's spiritual world, and it has created a precedent with the style of lotus expressing ambition, comparing things with lotus and thinking about people with things. Qu Yuan, a doctor of Chu (about 340 BC ~ 276 BC), wrote in the poem Lisao that "making lotus flowers as ashes and picking hibiscus as clothes", and his extraordinary temperament showed his moral character of high morality and integrity. Another example is Zheng Feng in the Book of Songs, in which there is Fu Su in the mountains and Hua in Ji. Seeing children, but seeing madness and ... "..." Chen Feng ""There are two evils: Pu and He. There is a kind of beauty, but it hurts. The evil of Peter Ze lies in the existence of Park Han. There was a beautiful man, huge and clumsy. "The beauty and charm of lotus flowers lead to the heartfelt words of missing lovers. The morphological characteristics of lotus have been recorded for more than 700 years BC, and each organ has a detailed name. Erya Cao Shi is a lotus and lotus, the stem is eggplant (petiole), the leaves are erect and precise (the early stage of underground stem is also called lotus root or whip), and the flower is lotus (the petal part of flower girl flower and bud). Lotus is a suffix word, such as peach blossom and plum blossom. The first word is the name of the object, which is the basis of naming. The lotus word in Shuo Wen explains: "Lotus, lotus leaf". Zheng Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote in Shi Mao: "Lotus is the stem of lotus". The "stem" mentioned here refers to the petiole of lotus leaf. Relatively speaking, a huge leaf can stand upright and stay away from the water only by carrying the weight of a slender stem, which is consistent with the meaning of "its leaf" in Erya Cao Shi. The word "lotus" refers to things, meaning load, hence the name. Another theory about the origin of the lotus name comes from Lu Songdian's Yaya Cao Shi, which is a general term for lotus, flowers and leaves. All have meaning, and the unknown is lotus ",which means that all organs have special names, and only the whole body doesn't know what it is called, so it is called lotus." Notes on Shuowen: He, (Tong Dan). Xu Songxuan and others commented: "You are responsible for what you are, and you are responsible for who you are ..." This means that the word "he" is negative. Lv Dian said, "If you don't know, you can ask, which means" he ye ". What does this mean? After the meaning of the word is expanded, the word "he" is suspected to be a loan word. "The Definition of Six Books" says: "This book has no words, and things are supported by voices." According to this, the name of lotus means bearing, not bearing that I don't know. The name of hibiscus was first seen in Chu Ci and Han Fu. In view of the figure of speech "Fu" in this period, it should be Furong Fu. Notes on Rong Yu's Shuowen:. Hibiscus is a description of the flower state, and lotus flowers are blooming one after another. For example, "Nine Songs of Shan Gui" written by Chu Ci, "Clouds are gloomy". Ode to Tokyo ... Furong was flooded and Qiu Lan was trapped ... ". "Fengfu" ... roaming among cinnamon peppers and flying over the water will hit the essence of hibiscus ... "The word" hibiscus "developed into a metaphor for human beauty and appearance, which was the most popular in the Tang Dynasty, such as" petals are like her face, willow leaves are like her eyebrows "in Song of Eternal Sorrow and" Lotus blossoms on both sides of her face "in Song of Picking Lotus. The name Lotus was used after Buddhism was introduced into China. Prior to this, "Lotus" refers to lotus, which is commonly known as lotus in the north and south of China. For example, Guo Pu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 276-324) said in "Er Ya Zhu": "Lotus is also known as lotus in the south of the Yangtze River". Yu (Bing) (932 ~ 10 10), Er, contained: "Northerners should be grateful for lotus flowers". There is also "Lotus is also called Lotus, and Jiangdong people call Lotus". Buddhism worships lotus and regards it as sacred. In the third year of Hongzhi at the end of Qin Dynasty (AD 40 1 year), Wang Yaoxing invited Kumarajiva, one of the four great translators of Buddhism, to Chang 'an, entered Mingxi Pavilion and Xiaoyao Garden, where he became a Buddhist teacher and took ten maids to accept it. Don't live in a monk's house or run a school. Roche often said to himself in public: "For example, lotus peanuts are in Grimer, but lotus flowers are used instead of Grimer". The Amitabha Sutra translated by Roche said: "There are seven treasure pools in Elysium, and Ba Ding Shui is everywhere. The bottom of the pool is paved with gold sand, with four steps, gold and silver colored glaze and pavilions on it, which are also strictly decorated with gold and silver colored glaze, glass, red beads and agate. The lotus in the pool is as big as a wheel, green and yellow, red and white, delicate and fragrant. " This is why the world calls Qibao Lotus. Lotus is named for its shape. Ming. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica explains: "Lotus is connected, and flowers and fruits are connected." .
