文化注释 Cultural notes  
  莲与文化关系最深的是中国,在中国莲花被崇为君子,自古以来,中国人便喜爱这种植物,认为它是洁身自好、不同流合污的高尚品德的象征,因此诗人有“出淤泥而不染”之赞。在中国文学里,与莲有关的诗词歌赋不计其数。另外,莲是还是用来作为宗教和哲学象征的植物,曾代表过神圣、女性的美丽纯洁、复活、高雅和太阳。在佛教问世后,佛教徒也采取了以莲花为佛教的主要象征。 
 Lotus is one of the most favorite flowers for Chinese people since ancient time and it has very deep culture roots in China. It is considered as the symbol of purity and grace because of its feature of growing from filth mud yet without being polluted. Numerous poems were written to praise lotus in Chinese literature and it is also an important symbol in religion especially Buddhism and represents the beauty of female and the sacred sun.
