The Poetics of Bees

The poetry of the ancient poem "Bees" lies in that this poem praises the noble character of bees' diligence, and also implies the author's hatred and dissatisfaction with those who get something for nothing.

1, the whole poem: No matter the flat land or the top of the mountain, it occupies infinite scenery. After picking flowers into honey, who will work hard for whom and who will be sweet?

Whether on the flat ground or on that high mountain, where flowers are blooming in the wind, there are bees running around. Bee, you picked all the flowers and made nectar. Who have you worked hard for and who do you want to taste the sweetness?

3. Creative background: At the end of the 13th year of Dazhong (859), Luo Yin went to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam. After years of exams, he still failed to get the first place, which is the so-called "ten is not the first". The poet was disappointed with the examination system and the court at that time. In this mood, he felt resentful when he saw people working hard in the fields and some court officials getting something for nothing. This is probably why Luo Yin wrote this poem "Bees" to satirize those who get something for nothing.
