What is the moral of lotus?

Lotus: Gentleman, pure and spotless.

Lotus symbolizes innocence. Lotus is gorgeous and fragrant, with green leaves, which is very elegant. Zhou Dunyi's masterpiece "The Theory of Love Lotus" calls it "getting out of the mud without being stained", and praises the noble character of Lotus as a symbol of innocence and nobility.

What does lotus mean?

According to legend, Lotus is the incarnation of the beautiful maid Yuji around the Queen Mother. At the beginning, Yu Ji saw a pair of people, men plowing and women weaving, who were very envious, so she moved her heart and stole out of the Heavenly Palace with the courage of the daughter of the river god and came to the West Lake in Hangzhou. The beautiful scenery of the West Lake made Yuji linger and play in the lake until dawn. When the Queen Mother knew this, she used the Lotus Throne to drive Yusi into the lake and told her to "drive into the mire and never go south again". Since then, a beautiful maid has been lost in the Heavenly Palace, and a beautiful flower has been added to the world.

Lotus is a famous traditional flower in China. The flowers and leaves are delicate and fragrant, which hides people's hearts. There is a fearless and muddy temperament in the face of the scorching sun. Therefore, in people's minds, lotus is the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty, a sign of good fortune and prosperity, a sacred and clean name in Buddhism, and a seed of friendship.

The classical literary masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions says that Qingwen became a lotus fairy after her death. Jia Baoyu said in the obituary of "Daughter of Furong" to Qingwen: "If you talk about quality, jade is not enough to describe it; If it is sex, no ice and snow means clean; If it is a god, neither the stars nor the sun can describe its essence; If it is a look, then flowers and months are not enough to describe its color. " Although later redology experts thought that this was not the author's praise of Daiyu's purity in the name of chanting Qingwen, lotus flowers were always associated with the purity of a daughter.

Because "lotus" and "pity" are homonyms, there are many poems about lotus in ancient poetry to express love. For example, "Xizhou Qu" by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus is picked in autumn in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, which are as green as water. " "Lotus seed" means "Reiko Kobayakawa" and "green" means "clear". There are both real and imaginary here, which means pun. The rhetorical device of homophonic pun is used to express a woman's deep yearning for the man she loves and the purity of love. Thirty-five songs in Jin's "Forty-two Midnight Songs": "The fog reveals the lotus, but the lotus is unclear." The dew in the fog hides the true face of the lotus, but the lotus leaf is not very clear. This is also a way of homophonic pun, writing about a woman who vaguely feels that the man loves her.

Buddhist connotation

Lotus is the national flower of India. Because India is the birthplace of Buddhism, lotus is inextricably linked with Buddhism in India. Whether painting or shaping a Buddha statue, the Buddha seat must be a lotus seat. Why does the Buddha sit on the lotus? According to the Buddhist scriptures, Buddhism is mainly solemn and wonderful, while lotus flowers are soft and clean, big and fragrant, so "Lotus Table, Yan Jingxiang Miao can sit."

Lotus has become one of the four auspicious flowers in Buddhism (Youtan Flower, Datura, Lotus and Magnolia Officinalis), and it is also one of the eight treasures, also known as Ba Ruixiang, Ba Jixiang (Falun, Bao Umbrella, Ji Xiang Jie (also known as Pan Chang), right-handed snail, lotus, house bottle (also known as jar), goldfish and Bao Gai).

Buddha Sakyamuni sits on the lotus throne in Daxiong Hall, with kind eyes and drooping lotus eyes. Amitabha, the head of the "Three Sages of the West", and Avalokitesvara, the compassionate bodhisattva, also sat on the lotus. Some of the other bodhisattvas hold lotus flowers, some step on them, or make lotus gestures, or throw lotus flowers (such as heavenly daughters) to the world. Temple walls, algae wells, railings, sacred tents, tables, sachets and worship mats are also carved, painted or sewn with various lotus patterns everywhere. It can be seen how close the relationship between lotus and Buddhism is.

There is also a wonderful story of "Mrs. Lotus" in Buddhist scriptures. A deer gave birth to a beautiful woman, and the fairy raised her. Wherever she goes, the lotus will grow. This is the origin of the word "step by step lotus", which is now used to describe the glory of experience.

What does the lotus effect mean?

Lotus effect, also known as self-cleaning effect, can be applied in many places. The most important thing is that it is applied to fabrics, such as waterproof and oil-proof ties and Erdos waterproof and oil-proof cashmere sweaters. The other is self-cleaning glass. If this principle is applied to the paint of cars, the external walls of buildings or the glass, it can not only keep the surface clean at any time, but also reduce the pollution of detergents to the environment, which can be said to be both safe and labor-saving.

In 1970s, German plant taxonomist William Barttelot and his colleagues discovered an unusual phenomenon in their experiments.

Traditionally, plants used in experiments should be cleaned, but they noticed that only those leaves with smooth surfaces need to be cleaned, while those leaves that look rough are often clean. Especially the lotus leaf, its surface is not only dust-free, but also non-sticky.

Sludge is indispensable for the growth of lotus, because it provides very rich humus for the growth of lotus. On the lotus leaf of Broken Face, not only mud and dust are not sticky, but even water droplets are hard to stop for a minute on it, as if they can clean the leaves themselves.

It has been said since ancient times that water dripping on the lotus leaf will become spherical or nearly spherical because of the rough surface, and then roll off the surface of the lotus leaf and take away some dirty things on the lotus leaf.

In fact, this mud is not touched, mainly because of the lotus leaf.

So why is it self-cleaning? At first, people thought it was decided by the white waxy crystals on the lotus leaf.

There is a layer of wax on its surface, which we can see directly with our eyes and feel with our hands. You can touch it with your hand, it has a rough feeling.

Under the electron microscope, the waxy crystals secreted by the epidermal cells of the lotus leaves are linear or hairy structures, which are distributed on the front and back of the leaves. However, water cannot roll freely on the back of the blade, but will stay in the center.

Then compare it with the leaves of other plants. Far away, take the water lily belonging to the same family as the lotus. There is wax on the front of its leaves, but when water drops go up, it will soon spread and spread, and it will not achieve the effect that the big beads on the lotus leaf fall on the jade plate. So besides wax crystallization, there must be a doorway.

If you observe it with an electron microscope, you will find that there are some tiny protrusions on its surface, which are micron-sized protrusions, and then a nano-sized protrusion is formed on the micron-sized protrusions.

The rough feeling when we touch the lotus leaves is actually produced by these tiny protrusions, and their average size is about 10 micron. The smaller protrusions are only about 200 nanometers in diameter.

You know, microns are only one thousandth of a millimeter, and nanometers are even smaller, only one thousandth of a micron. How big is it? Let me give you an analogy. If the diameter of a hair is 0.05 mm, click, click, click and vertically cut into 50,000 pieces, then the thickness of each piece is about 1 nanometer, which is small enough.

Unexpectedly, on the rough surface of the lotus leaf, there are such fine micro and nano double structures.

The first structure is its micron-scale breast bulge, which may be around 10 micron, to 12 micron, and then the depth may be between 12 and 15 micron. This breast bulges, and then there is a wax crystal secreted by the epidermis, which can be seen under electron microscope.

In other words, many "nano" hills are superimposed on those "micron" hills. In this way, the surface of the lotus leaf is covered with "hills", and the gap between "hills" and "mountains" is very narrow, so even the smallest water drops can only run around on the "hills". When the water droplets roll, they also take away the dust and bacteria on the leaves.

So this structure can ensure that the lotus leaves are not wet?

Scientists soon found that if we put lotus leaves in water for a period of time, the surface of lotus leaves will change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Why?

A scientist in Germany did this experiment, put the lotus leaf in water below 10 meter, and then take it out ... >>
