Why I Love Lotus
The lotus is coming out unspoiled from the mud just like a gentleman who can keep himself unspotted from the world.
Why I love Lotus,It was a great poem in Song Dynasty (960-1279)
Translating to English is followings,
There are too many lovely flowers in the world.
Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemum only.
People have been interested in peony since Tang Dynasty.
But I do like lotus that is clean even growing in the muddy pond.
It is so pure, delicate and bright.
The lotus is consistent, continuous and coherent deep inside.
It appears to be straight, proper and honest.
It gives a fantastically good smell and people could even sense its excellent smell far away.
It has no unnecessary branches.
It can be only appreciated distantly but not touched.
