travels north about a kilometer from the community where I live, and then arrives at a national-level wetland park . The bridge in the park is circling and the winding paths are secluded. In the core area of the Yanbo Miaomiao Park Lake, there is a lotus pond with an area of about dozens of acres of land. Here is the largest wild red lotus with the same latitude area on the earth. People living in our small town are all people who love lotus, raise lotus, cherish lotus, and protect lotus. Because of their careful care and protection, the lushness and prosperity of the red lotus ponds are everywhere in summer every year. July and August of each year are the season when lotus flowers in the pond bloom. The water waves are rippling, the leaves are green and the lotus is red, and the garden is full of fresh fragrance. This place naturally becomes the best place for people in small towns to relax and enjoy the lotus in summer.
As a photography enthusiast, every year when the lotus blooms, I will hide in the weaving crowd, intoxicated by taking lotus flowers of various forms and appearances, and obsessed with putting all their graceful figures into my camera. Every summer, I am so happy to indulge in the shooting lotus flowers in every corner of the lotus pond in the park. This has become a great pleasure in my life. Although lotus is born in the mud, it is transcendent and out of the world. It strives to break free from the bonds and pollution of the mud, demonstrating its dignified and elegant temperament, standing pure and graceful on the water surface. This may be the reason why people are looking forward to it. Under my camera, the lotus has different appearances and a variety of demeanors. Even in the storm, under the care of lotus leaves like umbrellas, they all seem calm and relaxed, neither too chaotic. Every time I shoot, I will have different feelings, different gains, and my heart will be shocked again and again. I felt more and more that the lotus is a flower with soul and connotation, and her soul is more like an aura, which will touch and activate your soul in an instant, making you surrounded, rendered and intoxicated by a unique and elegant aura.
However, I prefer to sit alone on the stone steps by the pond in the hazy moonlight, or in the misty rain, or in the dim morning light, quietly admiring the lotus in the pond. I use silent language to have a spiritual dialogue and communication with the lotus between my thoughts. I enjoyed that atmosphere: the surroundings were quiet and no one was invaded, and I watched the graceful figure of the lotus when the lotus rolled and the lotus was unfolding day and night; I could let my thoughts and moods swim in every corner of the pond and in time and space. At this time, my mood was peaceful and peaceful. I had already driven away my tumult, drove away my anxiety, and got rid of my distractions. I think Lian should be the same at this moment. Occasionally, a breeze slid across the lotus leaves, transforming into rustling echoes. I think this is probably the lotus responding warmly to me.
"From the sludge without being stained, wash the clear lotus without being charming." As a gentleman among flowers, lotus is noble, but it is not as ostentatious as peony flower ; "The lotus comes out of clear water, and is naturally decorated." The beauty of lotus is subtle, but there is no frivolity or vulgarity of roses; "The fairy Lingbo is fragrant in quietness, and also brings drunken makeup with her." The beauty of lotus is quiet, but not as cold as plum blossoms. No matter the wind rises and falls, whether it is static or dynamic, every time the Lian nods her head gracefully or turns gorgeously, any rough and tacky flowers and plants cannot be imitated or even climbed. Although its life originates from the mud at the bottom of the water, it has been washed by water and is not stained with dust at all. It is clear and handsome on the side of the water, and is extraordinary. No wonder among the flowers, only the lotus will become the lotus throne under the body of Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva . Even her fragrance is neither strong nor strong, gentle, light and quiet. At this time, in such a refreshing aura, perhaps infected by the lotus wind and lotus charm, my mood became so quiet, and my worries and impetuousness were immediately swept away. My mind, my soul, my world has become more and more clear.
Lotus comes out of sludge, but is not as dirty as dirty mud; born in the secular world, but is not contaminated with secular spirit, and keeps one's own love, demonstrating its unique elegant temperament; it seems lonely and arrogant, but in fact it blooms a kind of integrity and spirit. So, I thought of the homonym of Lian: Lian.In " Cihai " is explained as: edges and corners, extended to be upright; honest, shameless, shameless and not greedy.
Isn't the unique quality of lotus the meaning of the word "六" to express?
Maybe it was long-lasting nourishment of the natural spiritual energy of lotus, or it may be it received the continuous moisturizing of the inner character of lotus like sunshine, rain and dew. For a long time, our remote small town and people in the city have rarely been stained by the dirty breath outside. It seems that we are a pure world facing the world - it is always a peaceful, peaceful, and peaceful scene. Generations of small town people are also influenced by the holy charm of lotus flowers, and still maintain the folk customs and qualities of being honest, simple, kind, simple, and peaceful. People in small towns respect the elders and love the young, are friendly in neighborhoods, are harmonious in neighborhoods, and are friendly in friends. People on the streets greet each other, and they speak softly and rarely speak loudly; negative incidents such as shrews scolding the streets, fighters, elopement, murderers, and robbers have never been seen for decades; the officialdom is clean and upright, officials are fair and honest, public officials work diligently, and there are few intrigues and intrigues in the workplace, and they are very self-disciplined in any occasion, whether they are officials or ordinary people. In this way, the aura of nourishing one's nature will be inherited and continued by the kind and upright small town people. People in the small town are hospitality. If you are a guest from afar, people will warmly invite you to see the water, appreciate the lotus, and taste their famous food - live fish stewed in Songjiang Water.
The ancient saying of "Use tranquility to transform dryness, use harmony to transform evil, and use good to cure evil" is well known and consciously followed in small towns. Therefore, for many years, there have been very few incidents in small towns that have been dealt with in accordance with the law and law due to corruption, occupation and serious violations of laws and regulations. The small city is as peaceful, peaceful and peaceful as a peach blossom land. Everyone in the city lives and works happily, happily every day.
The most meaningful thing is that every year, the relevant departments of the small town will use lotus as the carrier and organize some cultural and entertainment activities with the theme of "Integrity", such as the "Integrity and Lotus" Photography, Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition, the "Integrity and Squareness" Cup Paper Cutting Exhibition, the "Unity and Harmony Cup" National Blueball Competition, Hiking Walking and other diverse activities, to exaggerate, create and consolidate the cultural atmosphere of clean, upright, integrity, unity and harmony in the small town, while also energizing the lives of the people. Its positive significance is quite profound. As an advocate and organizer in the financial team, I have actively participated in the activities with many colleagues. Not only has I amused my body and mind, but I have also received some positive encouragement and inspiration from it. It is because lotus and "六" are homophonic, and the county selects lotus as county flower to take its metaphor for integrity, elegance and holiness. What is more influential and famous is that our small town is famous because of the annual "Lotus Festival" and is well-known far and wide. Lotus sets the stage, and the economy plays the show. Lotus has also brought too many wonderful luck to this small town.
To this day, the Lotus Festival in the small town has been held for twenty-six consecutive sessions.
Lotus is the incarnation of Qinghe and Integrity. When the flower blooms and sees the Buddha nature, this flower refers to the lotus, which means that the cultivation level has reached the highest level.
Whether selfish desire is strong, it will cause greed, and too many distracting thoughts will inevitably lead to chaos. Talking about comparing vanity will surely cause more chaos. I often think that if each of us could survive and grow up in a once-pollent environment like a lotus that is beautiful even without makeup, but could keep ourselves clean, always be alert and motivate ourselves, stop greed, overcome self-desire, be calm and calm, and have no desires, then what kind of good, pure, beautiful, clear and beautiful world would the environment and humanistic ecology be around us!
