「泥中の蓮」
(M)ud field
中国の儒学者、周敦頤（しゅうとんい）は、「蓮は泥より出でて泥に染まらず」という言葉を残しています。この反対が「朱に交われば赤くなる」です。どちらも真理です。
1072年，在江西廬山蓮花洞創辦了濂溪書院，並自號《愛蓮說》，表蓮花的讚賞。是為千古名句。
“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，亭亭淨植，可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。”
No Mud No Lotus

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.“
What is light?
That I do not carry
That is not a hindrance
That is clear
Within the realm of which I am clear-minded
A source of illumination
Enlightenment
Light is the Visible electromagnetic radiation.
The human eye can typically detect radiation (light) in the wavelength range of about 400 to 750 nanometers. Nearby shorter and longer wavelength ranges, although not visible, are commonly called ultraviolet and infrared light.
