"Bee" is a work by Luo Yin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
The literal meaning of the poem: Whether on the flat land or on the mountain peaks, the extremely beautiful scenery is occupied by bees. Bee, you collect all the flowers and turn them into nectar. Who do you work hard for, and who do you want to taste the sweetness?
The whole poem is as follows: Regardless of the flat land or the top of the mountain, the infinite scenery is occupied. After harvesting the flowers and turning them into honey, for whom does it work hard and for whom does it taste sweet?
Appreciation of the whole poem:
"Whether it is on the flat land or on the top of the mountain, the infinite scenery is occupied." Whether in the plains or in the mountains, bees can be seen busy picking food everywhere. The figure of honey. The brighter the spring, the more flowers are in bloom, the more bees are attracted to it. The tone of these two sentences is very affirmative, praising bees for taking advantage of the beautiful spring scenery, expressing the poet's envy and praise for bees.
“After harvesting honey from hundreds of flowers, who works hard for whom?” These two sentences turn sharply, from praising bees for “taking up all the scenery” to chanting that they work in vain throughout their lives and gain very little. Collecting flowers and making honey are the duties of bees. The honey it works so hard to produce is mainly used to feed the queen bee or be used by others, but it enjoys very little of it. This is entirely out of its instinct and it does not realize that there is anything unfair about it. But the poet discovered the problem from here, and made an grievance for the bees, "Whoever works hard for them will get sweetness."
Bees and butterflies have become symbols of charm in the writings of poets and poets. However, bees are different from butterflies after all. They work hard all their lives to make honey, contributing a lot but enjoying little. The poet Luo Yin focused on this point and wrote such a profound poem "Animal Story".
