1, the creative background of bees

At the end of the 13th year of Dazhong (AD 859), Luo Yin went to Beijing and worked as a scholar for seven years. The author was disheartened, and then he saw the people working in the fields, and some court officials got something for nothing, resulting in resentment. This may be the reason why Luo Yin wrote this poem "Bees" to satirize people who get something for nothing.

2. The appreciation of bees

This poem about bees, with symbolic means and questioning methods, reflects the social phenomenon that workers can't enjoy the fruits of their labor. It is different from Zhang Bi's The Farmer's Invasion of the Stars, Mei's Millet on the Head Belongs to Others and Tao Ren, which can be interpreted in this way. Both of them are lamenting the bitter experience of life and how difficult the social world is, which is thought-provoking and thought-provoking.

Bees and butterflies have become symbols of charm in the poet's works. However, little bees are different from China after all. It has been working hard to make honey all its life, accumulating a lot, but enjoying very little. Around this point, the poet Luo Yin wrote such an "animal story" with deep feelings. Its meaning alone is refreshing.
