The Significance of Two Ancient Poems: Songs of Autumn Pu and Bees

"Song of Autumn Pus" shines on the heavens and the earth, and red stars are everywhere. At the beginning of the poem, people see a full-scale labor scene. The first sentence is panorama. See the flames, the whole world is red. Seen from a distance at night, the scenery is spectacular. The second sentence is a close-up view. You can see thick purple smoke spewing out of the furnace, and sometimes scarlet Mars jumps out of the furnace happily. The whole picture presents a strong tone and a strong sense of movement, which gives people a visual impact. Through this unusual scene description, we can clearly feel the excitement, joy and multiple emotional experiences mixed with novelty and admiration brought by the poet's visit to this fiery labor site.

The next two sentences, "A Night with a Bright Moon", are the author's positive descriptions of the smelting workers who are working hard. The original meaning of the cloud is blushing, and Li Bai creatively developed it, thus producing a brand-new poetry vocabulary-Lang Lang, to express his sincere admiration for the hard-working people in front of him. Due to the baking of the fire and the tension of labor, the workers' faces are in the moonlight. They were all fresh and flushed, and heavy physical labor did not crush them. On the contrary, in this hard and creative work, they felt a kind of heroism and excitement from the heart. As a result, they can work hard and sing songs with high spirits. The high-pitched labor chant resounds through the night sky one after another, weaving into a rough hymn of labor creating everything, and even the optimism, unity and mutual assistance of the workers have given the already sensitive poet a strong inner shock. If the first three sentences of the poem mainly express the visual impact on the poet's heart through pictures, then at the end of the poem, the auditory shock felt by the poet at that time is reproduced through sound effects, and even the poet can't help it, let alone Li Bai, who is naturally romantic and affectionate. At this moment, he has completely forgotten his white hair, and once again feels the value of life and the sublimity of labor, so his heart can no longer be suppressed, and his inspiration breaks out again. So with a stroke of his pen, he created a magnificent panorama of Autumn Night Smelting, which concisely and incisively expressed the author's sincere praise and admiration for creative labor and simple workers. For thousands of years, it seems that we can all understand Li Bai's feeling of wanting to stop and not spitting.

"Bee" refers to the place where flowers are in full bloom, whether it is the flat ground or the top of the mountain, which is occupied by bees. Who are they busy for after they have collected all the flowers to make honey? Who do you brew mellow honey for? This poem praises the noble character of hard work of bees, and also implies the author's hatred and dissatisfaction with people who get something for nothing. This poem has several characteristics in artistic expression: it wants to seize the past and give it, but it is powerful; Narrative backchat, singing sighs and feelings; The meaning is profound and can be interpreted in two ways. This is an allegorical poem. The bees in the poem are millions of ordinary farmers in Qian Qian in feudal society. They worked hard for generations, but the fruits of their labor were finally plundered by the cleaners. "After picking flowers into honey, who will work hard for whom?" The conclusion is rhetorical, which shows that the bees who make honey diligently work hard for years, but they get nothing for nothing, suggesting that the exploiters get nothing for nothing, making the meaning of the poem profound and powerful.

This poem expresses the author's cynical thoughts and feelings by describing the natural phenomenon of bees picking flowers and making honey for people to enjoy.
