爱莲说 周敦颐 水陆草木之花,可爱者甚蕃。晋陶渊明独爱菊;自李唐来,世人盛爱牡丹;予独爱莲之出淤泥而不染,濯清涟而不妖,中通外直,不蔓不枝,香远益清,亭亭静植,可远观而不可亵玩焉。 予谓菊,花之隐逸者也;牡丹,花之富贵者也;莲,花之君子者也。噫!菊之爱,陶后鲜有闻;莲之爱,同予者何人?牡丹之爱,宜乎众矣。 The Language of Flowers ZhouDunyi Loversof flowering plants and shrubs we have had by scores, but Tao Yüan-ming alonedevoted himself to the chrysanthemum. Since the opening days of the Tangdynasty, it has been fashionable to admire the peony; but my favourite is thewater-lily. How stainless it rises from its slimy bed! How modestly it reposeson the clear pool – an emblem of purity and truth! Symmetrically perfect, itssubtle perfume is wafted far and wide, while there it rests in spotless state,something to be regarded reverently from a distance, and not be profaned byfamiliar approach. In my opinion,the chrysanthemum is the flower of retirement and culture; the peony, theflower of rank and wealth; the water-lily, the Lady Virtue sans pareille. Alas; fewhave loved the chrysanthemum since Tao Yüan-ming; and none now love thewater-lily like myself; whereas the peony is a general favourite with allmankind. 本文来源:https://www.dywdw.cn/aa8d0dc3ce7931b765ce0508763231126fdb7797.html
