Word usage

Note
"簇拥" is different from "蜂拥". "簇拥" is to surround a target in a cluster and participate in the crowd, which can be people, objects, traveling or non-traveling; "蜂拥" means crowding forward in a certain direction and participating in the crowding. It can only be a person or an animal, and it can only be in a state of travel.
