水陸草木之花，可愛者甚蕃。晉陶淵明獨愛菊 ；自李唐來， 世人甚愛牡丹。予獨愛蓮之出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖 。中通外直，不蔓不枝，香遠益清，亭亭靜植，可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。$ A( U1 i3 t4 B: V

予謂： 菊，花之隱逸者也；牡丹，花之富貴者也；蓮，花之君子者也。噫！菊之愛，陶後鮮有聞；蓮之愛，同予者何人；牡丹之愛，宜乎眾矣。, r( G8 ^: d  N* [; G5 n9 b

水中、陸地的花兒，可愛的有很多。晉代的陶淵明只愛菊花。唐代以來，世人十分喜愛牡丹。我卻只愛蓮花，因為蓮花從污泥中生出卻沒有被污染，經過清水洗滌卻並不妖豔，中間通透，外形挺直，不牽牽連連，不枝枝節節的（不蔓不枝），香氣在遠處更加清幽，筆直潔淨地立在那裏，只能在遠處觀賞而不能拿在手裏玩弄。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb1 s# Z( t% Q9 x+ l/ M; C! q% N. j

There are many loveable flowers of grasses and trees both upon the water and on the land. In the Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming loved only the chrysanthemum.

From Li Tang Dynasty on, people of the world loved the peony very much. I especially love the lotus which grows out of the dirty mud but yet is clean, cleansed by the pure waters but not seductive; its center is void, the stem is straight; and has no creeping vines and branches; its fragrance is milder in the distance, its stem is erect, slim and clean; it is to be enjoyed from a distance but not too intimately. I say the chrysanthemum is like a recluse; while the peony is like a person of high position and wealth; whereas the lotus is like a gentleman. Alas! The love of chrysanthemum is seldom heard except for Tao Yuanming; where are the people who, like me, love the lotus? as for those who love peony, of course there are many!
