86075 Fuchsia Lace Flower abstract

Description

The Lotus Flower grows in the deep mud, far away from the sun. But, sooner or later, the Lotus reaches the light becoming the most beautiful flower ever.
The Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.
二、象征
1、清廉：在古代诗歌里，荷花一直是象征坚韧不屈，洁身自好的高贵品质，有”出污泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖”的句子，意思就是说荷花从淤泥里生长起来却没有淤泥的污秽，从清水里长出来却一点也不妖艳，这就象征着清官，赞颂他们两袖清风，为民服务。荷花别名“青莲”， “青莲”与“清廉”同音，所以在看望官员时，携带一束荷花就是表达了对他们崇高的尊敬之情。

2、友情深厚：中国一直有以花赠友的习俗，梅花多是送给傲骨清风的君子，芍药花多是给知己的，而荷花，可以送给感情比较深厚的朋友，它可以象征着人们之间浓厚的友情。

3、圣洁：荷花是佛门佛祖与菩萨的坐台，对于信佛教的人来说，这代表着圣洁，并且他们极力宣传荷花从淤泥里生长出来，身上却没有一点污浊的这种清白、高尚的精神，并以这种精神为人生信条。所以，荷花它还象征着圣洁。
