The symbolism of the lotus

1. A metaphor for beauty

As early as more than 3,000 years ago, there were records in the Book of Songs that compared the lotus to a beautiful woman. "Guofeng·Chenfeng·Zebei" says: "There are cattails and lotus in the waves of the lake. There is a beautiful woman, how sad he is? He can't sleep or do anything, tears streaming down his face." It describes a man who compares the lotus to a beautiful woman he has admired for a long time, but has not seen her for a long time and is extremely sad. Now, whether awake or asleep, tears and snot flow like rain.

2. Symbolizes love

In Wang Bo's "Song of Picking Lotus" in the early Tang Dynasty, "Pulling flowers with twin stems, breaking lotus roots with love threads connected", the twin lotus stems and the unbroken lotus roots are used to express the lingering love between men and women. Lotus is the most suitable symbol for pure and beautiful love. In addition, "lotus root" and "couple" are homophones, and the broken lotus roots are still connected, and "twin lotus flowers bloom" are very suitable to express the continuous love.

3. Harmony of meaning

Lotus is also called "he", which is homophonic with "he" (harmony). The auspicious folk painting, "The Two Immortals of Harmony and Unity", shows one person holding a lotus and the other holding a box, to represent harmony. He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals, is represented by holding a lotus flower, which symbolizes her beauty and her surname He, which represents peace and good luck.
