□ Application of Lotus in Gardens?
(1) Lotus Garden:?
Recently, there are three kinds of special lotus gardens in China: one is the garden botanical garden in Moshan, East Lake, Wuhan, which opens up a large area of aquatic flowers to watch and study lotus flowers; One is Mochou Lake in Nanjing, the new "Quyuan Fenghe" in Hangzhou, which is a large-scale park focusing on lotus viewing, and the other is a lotus folk tourism resource scenic spot focusing on wild interest and combining tourism, such as Lotus World in Sanshui, Guangdong, and Tuanhu Scenic Spot in Yueyang, Hunan. The latter is 30 kilometers away from the urban area and has a water surface of 3,000 mu, also known as Lianhu Lake. On the occasion of summer and autumn, I saw "the lotus leaf is infinitely bright, and the lotus flower reflects the sun in a different color". In the process of rowing, I enjoyed picking lotus, watching lotus dance and lotus (river) lights, which was very interesting. ?
(2) The theme of landscape garden is waterscape plants: As the saying goes, "A garden is not strong without mountains, and mountains are not beautiful without water". In China gardens, it is very common to decorate water features with lotus flowers. There are many famous gardens in Jiangnan, and there are terraces to enjoy the lotus. There is a "lianhua bridge" on the bank of the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou. The jade pavilions on the bridge are patchwork, simple and elegant in shape, exquisite and unique, which set each other off with the lotus flowers in the lake. It is the best place in Slender West Lake. Lotus Square in Jinxiyuan, Yueyang is built by the water, connected with the winding fence, fragrant cattails and enjoying lotus in the rain, which is deeply loved by the masses. ?
(3) To be a summer flower with flowers to enjoy in all seasons: different landscapes in all seasons are the gardening rules that China gardeners abide by. Plum blossoms resist winter, willows greet spring, green lotus relieves summer heat, and tung leaves surprise autumn. The green viewing period of lotus is as long as 8 months, and the flowering period is about 2-3 months. In summer and autumn, cicadas are few, peaches and plums are silent, and graceful lotus flowers exude a refreshing fragrance in a clear water, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. ?
(4) Foreground, middle scene and main scene in multi-level arrangement: China gardens pay great attention to the change of levels when arranging plants, so as to form rich landscapes with different heights. The combination of willow and lotus is a typical technique. Liu E summed up Daming Lake in Jinan with "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, and a city with mountains and lakes on half sides". Yuhu Park in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, with catkins flying in the spring and small rivers pointed; In summer and autumn, the flowers and leaves are delicate, and the willows are yiyi; In winter, the snow is covered with willow silk, and the residual lotus is audible, which is a beautiful scenic spot. ?
(5) Render and contrast the human landscape: Lotus is inextricably linked with Buddhism, symbolizing loftiness, sacredness, auspiciousness and peace. Therefore, landscape designers often use the nobility of lotus flowers to render and set off the human landscape, so as to express their admiration, nostalgia, praise and eulogy. ?
(6) As a "filter" in the water polluted by industrial wastes, the underground stems of lotus root can absorb the products of pollutants decomposed by aerobic microorganisms in the water, and lotus root can help the polluted water to restore the food chain structure and promote the water ecosystem to gradually realize a virtuous cycle.
