Poetry of Bees
The author of "Rain and Clear" is Wang Jia, a writer of the Tang Dynasty. The full text of his ancient poem is as follows:
Before the rain, the stamens among the flowers first appeared, but after the rain, there were no leaves or flowers at the bottom.
Bees and butterflies are crossing the wall one after another, but they suspect that spring is in the neighboring house.
Translation
You can see the stamens of the flowers when they first bloom before it rains, but after the rain there are no more flowers among the green leaves. Bees and butterflies flew to the other side of the wall one after another. I really suspected that the spring scenery was in the yard of the house next door.
The author of "February 2nd" is Li Shangyin, a writer of the Tang Dynasty. The full text of the ancient poem is as follows:
On February 2nd, the river was going up, and the east wind was warm and the sun was blowing.
The flowers, whiskers, willows, and eyes are all rogues, and the purple butterflies and wasps all have feelings.
Wan Li returned to Liangjing in Yuan Dynasty and worked in Yafu Camp for three years.
The new beach is full of tourists, and the sound of rain at night can be heard in the wind.
Translation
February 2nd was the Outing Festival in Sichuan, and I was walking alone by the river. Bathed in the warm spring day and the gentle spring breeze, I heard the melodious music coming from the distance. In this early spring, the flowers have sprouted their stamens, which are as long and thin as whiskers; the willow trees have grown young leaves, which are as small as eyes, and each is extremely cute. On the shore, purple butterflies and wasps were chasing each other among the flowers and willows, lingering and affectionate. Living in a foreign land, I longed to return to my hometown thousands of miles away and live a secluded life like Tao Yuanming. But now, for the past three years, I have been working in Liuying and have never returned to my hometown. The new beach has rippling blue waves and gurgling water. They couldn't understand my wandering thoughts, and the endless sound of running water sounded more like the sad sound of wind and rain dripping from the eaves at midnight.
The author of "Bee" is Luo Yin, a writer of the Tang Dynasty. The full text of his ancient poem is as follows:
Whether it is on the flat land or on the top of the mountain, the infinite scenery is occupied.
After harvesting the honey from hundreds of flowers, it will be sweet to whomever you work hard for.
Translation
Whether it is on the ground or on the top of a mountain, wherever flowers bloom, they are occupied by bees. After they collect all the flowers and make honey, for whom are they busy in the end? For whom are they making fragrant honey?
The author of "The Book Window" is Zhu Shuzhen, a writer of the Tang Dynasty. The full text of his ancient poem is as follows:
The flowers fall in spring and are speechless, and the birds sing when spring returns.
Sentiment is like a bee butterfly, flying over the west wall of the white wall.
Translation
The flowers fall quietly, and spring is silent; the birds seem not to know that spring is coming back, and they are still singing alone there. The only ones who are passionate are bees and butterflies, who fly over the white walls to pursue the footsteps of spring.
