Extended data:
Bee is a seven-character quatrain written by Luo Yin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a poem about objects. The first two sentences say that bees fly to the top of the mountain, experience infinite beauty, take pains and take risks.
The last two sentences say that bees pick flowers and make honey for people to enjoy, which is hard and sweet. By describing the natural phenomenon that bees gather flowers to make honey for people to enjoy, this poem contrasts the reality that the fruits of labor of the broad masses of working people are brutally exploited by the feudal ruling class, and shows the poet's sympathy for the working people.
This poem is elegant in style, profound in words, tacit in narrative discussion, plain and thoughtful in language narration and elegant and profound in speech.
Creative background:
At the end of the 13th year of Dazhong (859), Luo Yin went to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam. After many years, he still didn't get the first place, which is the so-called "tenth place is not the first place."
The poet was disappointed with the examination system and the court at that time. In this mood, he was angry to see 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.
