[Edit this paragraph] 6: Yolanda's single "Lotus"

Lotus, adapted from Okinawa folk songs, is the masterpiece of Okinawa EP. Hibiscus, alias sunset flower, symbolizes gentle persistence. Only when the sunset falls behind will the stubborn hibiscus bow its head and wither. Yolanda was impressed by the imprint of the original Okinawa folk songs and once pondered how to interpret them. However, when she saw Yao Qian's lyrics and started a short stay in Okinawa, her feelings for this song seemed natural. Yao Qian used this song to describe Yolanda, who is more familiar and profound after three years of cooperation. Some lyrics even point to Yolanda's heart in recent years: "… We are all less chic, so we are still elegant when we are lost …". All the expressions in the whole song recording process were not designed by her in advance. Yuan Quan used the most natural and relaxed singing method to interpret a sense of chic and elegance after putting it down. This is a relieved smile during Okinawa's short stay. HIGA Rongsan/Oshima Ansheng Adapted: Yao Qian Arranged: Lin Yilin Producer: Wang Siyu looked down at the blooming hibiscus flowers at dusk, thinking that he remembered the lost time, and gently insisted that I met him in a foreign land in the moonlight, but he still didn't change his face.

Resolve the melancholy, we are all less chic, so we are still elegant when we are lost. We all remember the love of fragrant hibiscus flowers in the same place: hibiscus flowers are tenacious and eternal beauty.

[Edit this paragraph] Hibiscus in Seven Ancient Poems

The Book of Songs? Zheng Feng: There is a lesbian car, Yan Rushunhua. There is a female colleague, Yan Rushunying. Shun Hua and Shun Ying in The Book of Songs refer to hibiscus flowers, which are metaphors of women's beauty. Qilu people also call it Wang Zheng, saying it is beautiful and rich. It can be seen as a compliment. In the Tang Dynasty, the meaning of hibiscus changed. Meng Jiao's poem "Meng Dongye's Friendship with Ji Shen" says: Lotus is a small heart, and it is not in the evening. Therefore, the hibiscus flower has been called "the dawn opens and the dusk falls" since then, because it is used to describe the impetuousness of people's hearts. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica said: This flower blooms at dusk, hence the name. Heaven and Jin Yue and Yue Yan only mean a moment of glory. Hibiscus means: gentle persistence.
