Background of extended data creation
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.
Luo Yin's poems about objects are often ingenious in conception, unique in meaning, profound in satire and thought-provoking. On the basis of in-depth and meticulous observation of images, the author integrated what he chanted into his strong worries about his home country and life experience, satirized the world at that time, and made him stand out in the poetry circles of the late Tang Dynasty. Bees express their thoughts on social and historical issues by reciting the natural phenomenon of bees picking flowers and making honey for people to enjoy.
