Prose

Birds, grasses, and insects, all on the painting, that the original is often called favorite. Bee is the painter's favorite, but I always do not like. It's funny. When I was a child, I went up to the tree to pinch begonias, and I didn't want to be stung by a bee, and it hurt so much that I almost fell down. Adults told me: bees do not sting easily, it is likely to be mistaken that you want to hurt it before stinging; once stung, it will exhaust its own life, and will not live long. I felt sorry for the bee and forgave it. But from then on, whenever I saw the bee, I felt a pimple on my feelings, always not very comfortable.

In April this year, I went to the hot springs in Conghua, Guangdong, and stayed for a few days. Surrounded by mountains, holding a pool of spring water in his arms, that thick and green scenery, simply a green landscape painting. Just went to the night, is a cloudy day, occasionally leaning against the building window, strange ah, how the front of the building out of nowhere so many dark hills, a heavy, heavy, undulating? I remember that in front of the building is a relatively flat garden, not a mountain. What exactly is this illusion? Rushed to dawn to take a look, can not help but laugh. It turned out to be a field full of lychee trees, one after another, each tree's leaves are dense impermeable seams, dark night look, but not like a small mountain!

Lychee may be the world's freshest and most beautiful fruit. Su Dongpo wrote this poem: "daily bite lychee three hundred, do not quit long as Lingnan people", visible lychee wonderful. I came to the wrong time, full of trees just bloomed light yellow flowers, not outstanding. Newly sprouted young leaves, color reddish, than the flowers are also some of the middle. From flowering to fruit ripening, about three months, it seems I can not wait to eat fresh lychee.

Eat fresh lychee honey, but it is time. Some people may not have heard of this rare thing, right? From the lychee trees as many as the ocean, the flowering season, the bees full of wild calling buzzing, busy forgetting morning and evening, and sometimes take advantage of the moonlight to pick flowers to make honey. Lychee honey is characterized by its pure color and nutrients. Most people who live in the hot springs like to eat this honey to nourish their spirits. I got two bottles of this honey for me. A bottle of cork, is so a sweet aroma; mix half a cup of a drink, sweet aroma with a breath of fresh air, very little fresh lychee flavor. Drinking such a good honey, you will feel that life is sweet.

I do not feel moved, want to go to see their own has not liked the bees.

Deep in the lychee forest, a corner of the white house, that is the hot springs communal apiary, but a funny name, called "beekeeping building". Just when the very spring color, the flowers are blooming. A close to the "building", only to see swarms of bees out and in, flying to fly, that boiling scene, will make you think: Maybe the bees are also rushing to build what new life.

Beekeeper Lao Liang led me into the "building". He is a young man, and his behavior is very delicate. Probably the old Liang wanted to ask me to go deeper into the life of the bees, carefully opened a wooden beehive, the box is separated by a row of boards, each board is full of bees, wriggling and crawling. The queen bee is dark brown and extraordinarily slender, and each bee is willing to feed it with the pollen it collects.

Old Liang said softly, as if sighing, "Look at this little swarm, how obedient they are."

I then asked, "How much honey can a hive of bees like this cut in a year?"

Old Liang said, "I can cut dozens of pounds. The weather in Guangdong is good, and there are many flowers, bees are not idle all year round. The bees have a lot of honey, but the amount they can eat is limited. Every time I cut honey, I leave a little sugar for them, just enough for them to eat. They never fight, and do not care about anything, or continue to labor, continue to brew honey, the whole day and month of hard work ......"

I also asked: "Such a good honey, not afraid of something to spoil it?"

Lao Liang said, "How can I not be afraid? You have to watch out for bugs crawling in, and you have to watch out for bumblebees. The bumblebee is the most vicious thief, often landing in the honeycomb hole. Specializing in bad things."

I could not help but laugh, "Oh! Nature also has invaders. How to deal with bumblebees?"

Lao Liang said: "Catch! If you can't drive it away, kill it. If you let it stay there, it will bite the bees to death."

I remembered a question and asked, "But how long does a bee live?"

Lao Liang replied, "The queen bee can live for three years, and a worker bee can live for six months at most."

I said, "So that's how short the life span is. Don't you always have to clean the dead bees outside the hive?"

Old Liang shook his head and said, "Never. The bees are very understanding, live to the limit, they will quietly die outside, never come back."

My heart can not help but tremble: how lovely little creatures ah! It asks nothing of man, and gives him excellent 'things.' The bee is making honey and brewing life; not for itself, but brewing the sweetest life for mankind. Bees are small; bees but how noble!

Through the lychee grove, I gazed contemplatively at the distant fields, where peasants were standing in the paddy fields, industriously dividing and transplanting rice seedlings. They are using their labor to build their own lives, and in fact, they are also brewing honey - for themselves, for others, and for future generations.

This dark night, I had a strange dream, dreaming that I had turned into a small bee ...... brewing the future ......

Works Appreciation

Contemporary Prose Masters Yang Shuo's "Lychee Honey" also skillfully utilizes the technique of "Punctuation". At the beginning of the essay, he writes that he was once stung by a bee, and thus felt uncomfortable at the sight of a bee. Then the author describes the sweet aroma of lychee honey and is moved to think of the bees that make honey, so he visits an apiary. The author learned about the habits of bees. He said with emotion: "Bees are brewing honey, and brewing life; not for themselves, but brewing the sweetest life for human beings. Bees are small; bees are yet how noble!" Seeing this, you would think that the author is singing the praises of bees and showing their noble qualities, but the end of the work makes a big turn from singing the praises of bees to singing the praises of hard-working and brave farmers: "They are building their own lives with their labor, and in fact, they are also brewing the honey - the honey of life, not for themselves, but for other people, and for the generations to come! for themselves, for others, and for future generations." "Brewing the honey of life for future generations" is the same as "The Records of Yueyang Tower", which ends with the words "Worrying about the world before the world, and rejoicing after the world's happiness", which is exactly the theme that the author is trying to express. The end of the article, the author of the theme to be expressed also point out. It turns out that the front of the large song of praise bees, it is for the back of the song of praise for the working people as a pad, so that the end of the natural, powerful, but also coherent with the main points of the whole article, this is the chapter of the law of the wonderful use of the spirit.
