No matter underground or on the mountain, where there are flowers in full bloom, there are bees busy.
After picking flowers into honey, who will work hard for whom and who will be sweet?

Whether on the flat land or on the mountain peak, beautiful scenery is occupied by bees.
Bee, you picked all the flowers and made nectar. Who have you worked hard for and who do you want to taste the sweetness?

It can only be extracted from the deep mountains after being struck by thousands of hammers. It regards the burning of the burning fire as a very common thing.
Not afraid of broken bones, leaving innocence in the world.

The trees in Xiyan Lake near my home are covered with faint ink marks.
Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.

4. Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night
Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)
Good rain knows the season, when spring comes.
Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently.
The wild path is dark, and the river is bright.
Look at the red and wet place, the flowers in Jinguancheng are heavy.
Translation:
Good rain knows the solar terms of rain, and plants germinate and grow in spring. As the spring breeze quietly falls at night, it silently moistens everything in spring.
On a rainy night, the field path was dark, and only the lights on the river boat flashed alone. Looking at the flowers soaked in rain at dawn, they are beautiful and red, and the whole Jinguan City has become a world of flowers and flowers.
