Throughout the course of life, every single being must experience “birth”,“degeneracy”, “illness”,and”death”. The life-circling story of the life on earth keep coming on day after day. Why don’t we follow Lao and Chou’s attitude toward life. Once Chuang Chou dreamed he was a butterfly. Facing the life, adversities and degeneracy, one can still keep his own inner peace. Why don’t we learn from the lotus, accommodating to nature and performing different graceful views in the four seasons. The fading of the lotus doesn’t mean lonesome, death or extinction. When the season of warmth comes, it will sprouts again with vitality. Birth, degeneracy, illness and death. Everything is unreal. Silence is also a kind of beauty. The turmoil and confusion of life will eventually come to peace. However, the spirit aspects of things are immortal and will last forever. The structure of the researches of the article includes, chapter one, preface, mainly describes the motive, purposes and methods of research, chapter two, theory of creation, individually discuss the light, the metaphor and the symbolization of every piece, appreciation of lotus-drawing masters at the nation and abroad, appreciation of pieces in late state of Lu and, chapter three, researches of documents discussing about lotus, chapter four, explains my own notions of creation, my pieces and style analyzing and presents result of researches and chapter five, conclusion.
