Suzhou old customs, the lunar June 28 th birthday for lotus, every time, old and young, men and women have to charge all have to admire the load, the splendor of the unprecedented moment. The ancients says June for "lotus month", and lotus for June god, probably also and that the custom relevant. The qing jia recorded & # 8226; lotus swing, such descriptions: "suzhou good, 24, Yellowstone CaiQiao stop to admire the lotus Yi painting, pure water ice watermelon, split will matter swig convection xia." So the pomp of the appealing, do not know to this day whether the jiangnan still is continueing old customs.
May I have the life in jiangsu province and such festival, golden LinXian every year HeHuaJie held. Although the meaning of the day to do and the ancients has a slightly different, is no longer simple reward of Hollywood, and joined the new element, "culture DaTai, act in an opera in economy", for the economic development service is the ultimate goal, but faced with thousands of hectares of lotus pond, meet day Bess leaves, still have a kind of heart moving.
Folk legend twelve lunar month is the birthday of flowers, called "HuaChao", it is easy to let a person produce a question: since all day on February 12 flowers birthday, why have to arrange a lotus alone birthday? The reason unknown, my understanding is, is probably too like the flower people, and at the most open unifem lotus and go. Is a famous writer, and planting flowers of ace a from suzhou ZhouShouJuan have remarked: "lotus birthday, but compared to a ridiculous that although what the fairy's birthday or more elegant." This I believe.
Lotus, lotus and that, in ancient times, also known as the lotus, HanDan, FuQu. About the alias lotus "lotus", the last century at the beginning of s, the two culture celebrity is devoted to kick a pen battle. They are ZhaoPiaoChu and guo moruo, war from 1961 for old friends ZhouShiZhao wrote MAO zedong a "untitled" JieGou "I want to LiaoKuo, lotus dream interfering in the kingdom from zhaohui do." ZhaoPiaoChu explanation is: "lotus lotus. Please think that, in the morning sunlight (from zhaohui) times according to the ground, this is how the lotus is bright beautiful world!" But guo moruo don't think so, he thinks the lotus refers to the MuQiu frost and the MuFuRong cheng fang, reason is: "the President told us' lotus countries' is the vision of hunan says." Then move out of five generations of TanYongZhi "autumn in SuXiangJiang rain" poems to evidence, including "autumn wind the lotus land" 1, guo said: "this poem highlighted" lotus countries' story. "lotus"... some say that refers to the lotus, but in my opinion is MuFuRong tan. Because of the poem is autumn, it is MuFuRong blooming season... if is in the autumn and lotus, has DiaoBai......." The pen of the battle to the last winner guo moruo. In the later published "MAO zedong letters selection of, have included on December 26, 1961, MAO zedong to ZhouShiZhao letter, including the poem cited tan interference:" autumn wind the lotus countries, both the rain BiLi thousands village."
For the lotus, the Chinese have been with a bias, that had left "compose a poem" cao zhi's legacy of pushing it to the qunfang, in his eyes, the lotus position very honorable, supreme. Zhou dun-yi people more praise it for the flowers gentleman, specifically for it to write the article, is called "refined", historic told, this paper work "the silt but don't dye, QingLian zhuo and not demon" even became the Chinese national spirit and the symbol of the moral integrity.
Pictures of the famous old white shrimp also on this day special painted lotus, in 1923 he diary writes: "June 24, today for birthday, lotus, lotus size more than 30 more than painting paper, painting are not ugly. There is best, but the withered lotus and four picture, a person to laugh in the back, a smile, a smile, a people pour community. Teacher had laughed with to four picture is load, community, smile." The "teacher had" is ChenShiCeng predecessor, the old man in the domestic and international popular, nature is benefited from his I's "CuiNian reform", also with the help of the relevant special Beijing leaders.
"Yangzhou eight weird, one of the eight ShanRen BieHao the ZhuDa, also very love the lotus, stay poem" the bamboo MaoZhai rubber, half as lotus pool half ChiLing ", in the place of high demand, slope is "cannot ju mozhu", he is there will be charge. I thought, baishi June 24, the old man draw lotus, is because the day is a lotus birthday, also with eight ShanRen exerts a subtle influence on not relationship, reason is baishi old man "CuiNian reform", a red ink a leaf, form their own unique style of traditional Chinese painting spring, such a few of the master of painting, have ZhuDa name.
ZhuDa youth capital had to be a monk, and then abandon the word for, whether to be a monk for way, have not "birds" list. It happened that, lotus also not just got their man's like it with two monks, the origin is very deep.
The relationship between the first and the Buddha said.
Buddhism produced in India. India climate is dry, hot, water can good, where the people of water for love nature, Ephraim in the water, nature, lotus will have a special feeling, India as a lotus flower that is for from this feeling. According to Buddhism, the real world is a HuiTu sludge, and Buddhism, can make the person get rid of pollution, transcendental and free from vulgarity, to clean the wide position. This, and as it happens and the rising above the sinful character the same, they are in spiritual completely, make the lotus and Buddhism has the indissoluble bond. It is said that the Buddha sakyamuni is born in lotus seat, at that time, they lotus pool thousands; And guanyin bodhisattva, it is said that is born from the lotus, therefore, lotus also naturally become a Buddha and bodhisattvas throne.
Buddhism has born the legend of the step of Ephraim, according to the Buddha the bank set the & # 8226; under the tree was born product "load, Buddha in Syria, Vishnu garden" life has no support, that is, do the four winds, of every seven step, the raising of the foot steps, the big lotus."
In fact still more than Buddhism, lotus in India's influence is extensive and profound, is also produced in the Indian brahmans, it is the god of the big brahman is said to be seated on a lotus flower was born.
Repeat with the relationship between the way.
Don't want to say too much, but said the three all familiar: one is one of the eight immortals HeXianGu, she skulls of enlightenment is lotus; Besides PiShan save mother of aloes, he was able to win over secundi, rescue mother, lamp mana derived; The third is three NaZha prince, cut the meat is mother, eviscerate also after the father, and the master too b real people make him up, right now, he is the embodiment of the lotus.
