Slender-waisted bees are a type of bee. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "the front end of the abdomen is rod-shaped, hence the name Slender Waist Bee". I belong to the typical "four bodies are not diligent, the grain is not divided" type of people, not only do not read books do not seek to understand, animals and plants of the family of genera never go to detail. Therefore, although I have seen a lot of bees, it is still unclear whether I have actually seen slender-waisted bees.

However, the possibility of seeing the slender waist bee in my hometown is still relatively large, because my fellow villager Mr. Lu Xun has indeed seen it - the thin waist bee of Lu Xun's family in the old days may also fly into my ordinary people's homes. It was just a slender-waisted bee that flew into my house, and not only did I not even bother to figure out its species, but I may have indiscriminately tried to shoot it to death. The thin-waisted bee that flew into Lu Xun's house was much luckier, Lu Xun not only knew its name, but also wrote a famous article for it with a large pen. It was after reading this article that I learned that there is such a species as the slender-waisted bee.

In this article, titled "Late Spring Gossip", Mr. Lu Xun sneered at the slender-waisted bee, saying that it was "not only an ordinary murderer, but also a very cruel murderer", because the slender-waisted bee has poisonous needles, and it knows how to use poisonous needles to anesthetize large green insects. The anesthetized giant green worm not only lost the ability to resist when caught, but also became the fresh food left by the slender-waisted bee. From this, Mr. Lu Xun thought that those "holy kings, sages, sages, sages, sages, and educators" who were bent on sitting firmly in the position of the lord of man, if they had the stingers of thin-waisted bees, it would be good, and with just one sting, the people would lose the ability to resist and willingly let others slaughter, and the sages and sages would no longer be able to "use means every day and bother with their tricks at night."

In Mr. Lu Xun's article, this one I most admire, the "small talk" style of hand-to-hand and the light-hearted fingering of mulberry scolding can be called the highest realm of essays. But because of this article, the thin-waisted bee had a bad reputation on its back, which was not expected by the thin-waisted bees that rushed into Lu Xun's family yard and openly preyed in full view of everyone. It seems that Confucius was in the Spring and Autumn, and the thieves were afraid of the thieves; and insects were no exception.

In fact, Lu Xun was not the first person to write the thin waist bee into the article. "Late Spring Gossip" also mentions that in the "Book of Poetry", there is a saying that "the moth has a son, and the cockroach wins and loses", the borer is the big green worm, and the cockroach win is the thin waist bee. This part of the "Book of Poetry" is about a scholar who disciplines his brothers for his brothers in order not to dishonor his ancestors, reflecting the sense of responsibility of the scholar to the family, and the "trembling and trembling, like walking on thin ice" that we are familiar with comes from this one. The slender-waisted bee here is a completely positive image, which has probably been thought by literati and ordinary people for thousands of years. "The borer has a son, the moth wins and loses" is to educate and make the big green insect change its face, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the slender waist bee with a long sky and a skill is always more prominent than the big green worm that is only non-committal and useless. Therefore, Lu Xun would say, "When the long summer is fine, sending the summer forest yin, and catching a glimpse of the two insects pulling and rejecting, it is like seeing a loving mother and goddess, full of good intentions, and the green insect's resistance is like a hairy crow's head that does not know how to be a good villain." ”

"Late Spring Gossip" and "Book of Poetry", both far-reaching literary classics, seem to write the image of two slender-waisted bees that are completely opposite. So what kind of bee is the slender-waisted bee? If you really want it to appear, do you give it a white face or a black face? In fact, there is no need to argue whether the thin waist bee is good or bad, everything is multi-faceted, people and no perfect people, can you still be harsh on the bee? On the one hand, the echo of the two classics, which are thousands of years apart, just make the image of the slender-waisted bee more plump, which is much luckier than those stars who need to rely on the eyeballs. On the other hand, people's likes and dislikes are sometimes subjective feelings, and people love things for no reason. I like the slender waist bee, and without consent, I use the three words "thin waist bee" as the nickname of all my social accounts, purely because of the "joy" brought by the word "thin waist", and there is no other reason.

As if Mark Twain had said, "Quitting smoking is easy, I've quit a thousand times." "I have the same understanding of weight loss as old horses, so "thin waist" has always been one of my life pursuits. Because I have a "sharp" character on my name and a "thin waist" in front of it, it is also a kind of self-deprecation, and friends will smile when they see it. In fact, I am not alone in the pursuit of a thin waist. The so-called "virtue is not alone, there will be neighbors." Recently, there is no gentleman and lady around who does not clamor for weight loss, and the bucket waist and beer belly have long been enemies of the people. Far away, the story of "the king of Chu loves a thin waist" has long been recorded in the annals of history, "in the past, the king of Chu Ling was a good soldier with a thin waist, so the ministers of the spirit king all took a meal as a festival, threatened and then brought, and then supported the wall and then rose." Compared with the period of the year, the dynasty has a black color. ”

Ordinary people love thin waist, the most let people who love beauty "control their mouths, open their legs", in line with the concept of healthy health, liposuction and cutting flesh, hurt the body and thin waist is after all a minority; and the king who holds the power of reward and punishment loves thin waist, the consequence may be "towards the black color" and the people are not happy, which is not inferior to "the anger of the son of heaven, the corpses are millions, and the blood is thousands of miles". In today's era, the waist is fat and thin, it is a personal choice, aesthetic views, but also increasingly diverse, although everyone is still inevitably living in the shackles, although there are also people who choose to kneel and lick the rich, but after all, most people do not need to "coerce and take, support the wall to rise", which has to be said to be the luck of the times.

We are fortunate to be born in this beautiful era, although some people such as me directly have the alias of "thin waist", more personal and physical efforts to achieve "thin waist", but everyone should rationally adhere to a bottom line, that is, never easily for anyone, any force - at least for the sake of physical health. The minister of the King of Chu Ling is a lesson from the past. (This article was published in China Art News on August 15, 2016, supplement)
