Lotus
Here, I would like to quote several passages: Lotus is first and foremost the reproductive organs of flowers, which is its prototype, and symbolizes the birth and rebirth of life. No matter in the Mediterranean, India or China, the lotus is endowed with different connotations, either vulgar or sacred, but all of them are derived from this basic archetype.
As we all know, Chinese literature makes good use of metaphors. For instance, the word “lotus” is used to imply vulva, and thus the word "golden lotus" is the greatest praise for women.
In the comprehensive and implicit meaning of both genders, Zhou Dunyi reinterpreted the concept of purity, supplemented by the concept of moderation and the symbol of wisdom.
