相传睡莲原是山林沼泽中的一名女神,在古希腊、古罗马、古埃及,睡莲与中国的荷花一样,被视为圣洁、美丽的化身,又有着“水中女神”之称,而睡莲本身拉丁文的意思是“水乡泽国的仙女”,在新约圣经中,有“圣洁之物,出淤泥而不染”之说,因此常被用作供奉女神的祭品。所以,直至今日人们还是不减对它特有的喜爱。 According to legend, water lily is a goddess in the mountains and swamps, in ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Egypt, water lilies and Chinese lotus, is regarded as holy, beautiful incarnation, but also has a “goddess of water,” said the water lily itself Latin means “a fairy in a watery country,” which, in the New Testament, has the word “holy things, silt without stain” and is therefore often used as a sacrifice for the goddess. So, until today, people still do not diminish its unique love.
