"莲" (lián) is the Chinese word for lotus, a flowering plant that is widely regarded as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and rebirth in many cultures, including Chinese culture. The lotus is an aquatic plant that is known for its ability to grow in muddy or murky water and emerge with a beautiful, unblemished flower. In Chinese art and literature, the lotus is often depicted as a metaphor for the human soul, which is capable of rising above the difficulties and impurities of life to achieve spiritual purity and enlightenment.
