A story about lotus flowers

According to legend, the lotus used to grow on land, while the orange lotus root tree was born in water. They often visit each other, talk to each other, become close bosom friends, and get married in the same year. One day, when they talked about their place of residence, the orange lotus root tree thought that it was often submerged in the water. It was very sad, so it came up with the idea of changing homes with the lotus flower, so it said to the lotus flower, "In the same year, no matter how dry it is, my place of residence will not be affected." I'm really sorry that you are dry every day. Let's get started. Let's go somewhere else. At that time, Lian reluctantly said: "Although the drought in your place can be avoided, I am afraid that it will blister when it rains. "The orange lotus root tree was afraid that the lotus would not want to, so it quickly said," No, you have big leaves on your head, which can completely resist. " Hearing this, Lian hesitated. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's change it for the time being. If I don't feel comfortable living here, we still have to change it back, okay? "The orange lotus root tree wants to change the house with lotus flowers as soon as possible. It was still unwilling to see the lotus, so it swore to the lotus: "Good, good! That's for sure. If you feel uncomfortable after staying with me, we can totally exchange it. If I don't go back to my original place, let the wind in the future blow off my leaves. "Lotus saw the orange lotus root tree speak so seriously, took an oath, and moved to the water to live. After the orange lotus root tree lived in the water, it moved to the land. Lotus always felt sad that it was flooded, and asked the orange lotus root tree to change back to its original place. At this time, the orange lotus root tree insisted on not changing, turned against others and said maliciously, "How dare you! If you don't like change, you can't change it long ago. Now that it has changed, why regret it? No way! Don't! Even after hearing this, he knew that he had been taken in by the lotus root tree, but he was helpless, because the lotus root tree only refused to move on land and had to live in the water. Because the water is too flooded, there is no other way, so we have to try our best to get into the mud to escape, so the lotus root is now hidden in the mud. Because the orange lotus root tree broke its promise after swearing, it will lose its leaves as long as the wind blows. Long ago, Liaodong Peninsula at the junction of Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea was called Pulandian. There is a water town in East Lisan, Pulandian. Deep in the water town, there is a place where lotus flowers are in full bloom. People call it Gupao or Lotus Lake. There lived a beautiful and kind lotus fairy in the lake. People on both sides of the lake live a happy and peaceful life under the care of the lotus fairy. But what these simple and kind people never expected was that there would be an earth-shattering disaster here. There lived a fierce and ugly dragon prince in Bohai Bay. He heard that there lived a very beautiful lotus fairy in Lotus Lake, and she led the people here to live a comfortable life. He decided to occupy this place, the Lotus Fairy, and let the local people obey him and work for him. On a sunny morning, people at the Lotus Lake are farming, spinning, sericulture and hunting here as usual ... Suddenly, in the southwest, the sky is overcast, the wind blows suddenly, the dust is rolling, and a black tornado sweeps towards the Lotus Lake in Bohai Sea. The little dragon prince showed a ferocious face and shouted, "I want to be king here, lotus fairy, and I want to marry you." Listen, from now on. The local people hated this dragon, so they took up arms to fight it. However, a simple man is no match for him. Looking at people falling down constantly, Lotus Fairy looks in her eyes and hurts in her heart. She put on her favorite pink dress and rushed out of the lake with her ancestral double-edged sword in her hand to fight the dragon. This is an unprecedented war. It fought fiercely with Xiaolong for 998 1 time for 7749 days, and everything in the world was feeling the struggle and contest between justice and evil. At the last moment, the lotus fairy waved a flashing double-edged sword eye ring again. Suddenly, a dazzling light rose from the lotus lake between heaven and earth and stabbed the dragon's eyes deeply. At this moment, the Lotus Fairy tried her best to rush to the dragon again and again with soaring steps, stabbing the dragon's throat with a sharp sword. At this time, the painful dragon rolled, broke the mountain on the south bank of Lianhua Lake and fled back to Bohai Bay. Later, people found that the mountain was shaped like two wheels, so it was named Chelulu Mountain. A red sun rises from the east and everything recovers. The beautiful Lotus Lake dried up because of this war, and all the lotus flowers gradually withered. The exhausted lotus fairy was dying and said, "I can't do it." After I die, I will leave all my lotus seeds behind and bury them in the Lotus Lake, so that it will be full of flowers and people here will be full of hope. " I saw the lotus fairy standing in the lake, her hands open, and a hot air emanated from it, so that everything on the earth could feel her warmth. At this time, the crystal lotus seeds fell from the air, threw themselves into the arms of the earth and were deeply buried in this dark land. And the beautiful lotus fairy will never come back. In a blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed, and a large number of thousand-year-old lotus seeds have been unearthed in the dark soil layer of Pulandian Xipaozi. They are burning, moving, persevering and unpolluted. This is the cultural connotation of ancient lotus seed myths and legends. It is said that a long time ago, there was a fairy in the sky who envied human life. She heard about the beauty of the West Lake in the sky, so she wanted to escape from the Heavenly Palace and see for herself. One day, when the Queen Mother was not at home, she came over the West Lake. She overlooks the mountains and rivers here, and she really deserves her reputation. The fairy was attracted by the beautiful scenery here and never wanted to go back to the Heavenly Palace. Now that the queen mother knows, she will send a heavenly soldier to arrest her. However, the fairy really didn't want to leave the West Lake, crying bitterly, hating that she shouldn't be in the Heavenly Palace, and hating the Queen Mother shouldn't be so harsh. Surrounded and threatened by the heavenly soldiers and generals, the fairy's tears dripped into the West Lake. She threw the hairpin on her head into the West Lake to show her reluctance, left the West Lake and returned to the Heavenly Palace. After a while, the West Lake was full of blooming lotus flowers. From then on, flowers bloom and fall, year after year.
