The word " white lotus " was often used to describe a woman's purity, nobility, elegance, beauty, and other characteristics. It was often used in conjunction with the word " purity." This word originated from ancient Chinese literary works such as Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber and the novel White Lotus. In the novel, the white lotus flower was used as the representative of the female image, which meant that the female appearance was pure and noble, but her heart was as fresh and refined as a white lotus flower, which was not easy to be polluted. Sometimes,"white lotus" also represented friendship and pure relationship between women, so this word was often used to describe friendship between women.
