No matter the flat land or the top of the mountain, infinite scenery is occupied. After picking flowers into honey, who will work hard for whom and who will be sweet?
Origin: The Bee by Luo Yin in Tang Dynasty.
Background: Luo Yin was born in the seventh year of Taihe (AD 833) and arrived in Beijing at the end of the thirteenth year of Dazhong (AD 859). He took the imperial examination for seven years. Disappointment with the examination system at that time, the imperial court at that time, and resentment caused by seeing people working hard in the fields and some imperial court officials getting something for nothing allegorized the reason why those who got something for nothing were "bees".
Appreciation: The first two sentences describe the living conditions of bees. They are constantly shuttling and working among flowers, and the vast territory gives them considerable space to display their skills. No matter "or" infinite ",bees" occupy all the scenery "in their hard work Written simply, it looks plain and straightforward, almost in the tone of appreciation and praise. In fact, it is ingenious, first promoting and then restraining, paving the way for the following discussion.
The last two sentences closely follow the image of "bee", extending and expanding the image of "laborer" it symbolizes, and exclaiming that "after a hundred flowers blossom into honey, no one can be sweet". At the same time, it also raises an intriguing question: the collected flowers have turned into honey, and the hard work has finally achieved gratifying results. When the topic changes, who is this hard work for?
In the dark and decadent society at that time, it was an exploiter who lived in a high position and held heavy power for nothing. The irony was self-evident. The poet accused those who were addicted to wealth in a rhetorical tone. After a long period of mourning, he could not help feeling pity for the working people.
On the other hand, it mocks and lashes at the unfair reality that laborers can't get their due rewards, and those who have income can't get their due rewards. While expressing their grievances and grievances to the working people, they also reflect on their long-term situation of being stuck in a position where their ambitions are hard to reach, and express their deep hatred for the social phenomena of feuds, autocratic eunuchs, frequent wars and poor people in the late Tang Dynasty.
