By describing Can Cong and Yufu, Du Fu showed a vivid picture of rural life, in which many busy ants appeared. Although the description of ants is not particularly detailed, it is enough to touch people's hearts.
Readers can imagine that a large number of ants are busy shuttling, which reflects the image of ants working hard. In this poem, Du Fu not only praised the working spirit of ants, but also reflected his profound thinking on social history.
In addition to Du Fu, there are many ancient poems praising the hard work and efforts of ants in 300 Tang Poems. For example, there is a saying in Wang Zhihuan's "In the Heron Lodge" that "the mountains cover the day and the ocean drains the golden river. But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. "
In this poem, there is a description of "you have opened your eyes for three hundred miles", which means to pursue progress and Excellence through continuous efforts. Just like ants working tirelessly in the grass, constantly climbing and pursuing the goal of jumping forward.
Generally speaking, the description of ants in ancient poems fully embodies the traditional moral values of hard work, dedication, struggle and tenacity in China culture.
