Literary status

Personage introduction

Tao Yuanming is the most outstanding poet in the 800 years of Han, Wei and southern and Northern Dynasties. There are 125 poems of Tao, most of which are five character poems. From the content, it can be divided into three categories: drinking poems, chanting poems and pastoral poems.

Drinking Poems

Tao Yuanming is the first poet who wrote a lot of drinking poems in the history of Chinese literature. His 20 poems of drinking, in the "intoxicating" voice, either denounce the reversed right and wrong and destroy the same upper class society; or expose the decadent darkness of the secular world; or reflect the sinister official career; or show the poet's happy and intoxicated mood after he quits the officialdom; or show the poet's uneven complaints in the predicament. From the taste and style of the poem, it may not be a work of the same period. In the second year of Yuanxi (420) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu abolished Jin Gong emperor as Lingling king, killed him the next year and built Liu Song Dynasty. "Shujiu" records the process of usurping power and changing generations by means of metaphor. At this time, Tao Yuanming had been living in seclusion for many years. He was used to seeing the troubled times and usurping power. But the poem still reveals his unforgettable spirit of the world.

poems from the heart

Represented by 12 Miscellaneous Poems and 13 reading the classic of mountains and seas. More than 12 miscellaneous poems show the political depression of being determined and unable to run after his retirement, and express his noble personality of not being in harmony with the secular world. It can be seen that the poet's heart is infinite and deep. The same content is expressed in the 13 poems of reading the book of mountains and seas by chanting the strange things in the book of mountains and seas. For example, the 10th poem expresses and shows that its ambition to help the world will never go out by singing the praises of Jingwei and Xingtian.

Pastoral Poetry

Tao Yuanming has the largest number of pastoral poems and the highest achievement. This kind of poetry fully shows the poet's lofty aspiration of disdaining fame and wealth and noble moral integrity of keeping his ambition; fully shows the poet's extreme hatred and complete break to the dark officialdom; fully shows the poet's love for the simple pastoral life, his understanding of labor and his friendly feelings to the working people; fully shows the poet's pursuit and yearning for the ideal world. As a literati, such thoughts and feelings, such content, appear in the history of literature, is unprecedented, especially in the patriarchal system and the concept of strict society is particularly valuable. Some of Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems reflect his predicament in his later years, which can make us indirectly understand the miserable life of the peasantry at that time. Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Land poetry" was written about the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. It depicts a utopian ideal society. It shows the poet's complete negation of the existing social system and his infinite pursuit of the ideal world. It marks a new height of Tao Yuanming's thought. Tao Yuanming is the pioneer of pastoral poetry. Its YISHION natural language and lofty and lofty artistic conception opened up a new world for China's poetry circles and directly influenced the idyllic poetry of the Tang Dynasty.

Tao Yuanming's existing articles include 3 Fu, 5 rhymes and 4 prose, a total of 12. Leiqing Fu in Ci Fu is imitated from Dingqing Fu by Zhang Heng and Jingqing Fu by Cai Yong. The content is to spread the dream of love, which is meaningless. "Gan Shi Bu Yu Fu" is a copy of Dong Zhongshu's "Shi Bu Yu Fu" and Sima Qian's "Bei Shi Bu Yu Fu", the content of which is to express the indignation that it is difficult to be ambitious under the system of family power; and "Gui Qu Lai Xi Ci" is a political declaration that Tao Yuanming broke with the upper class when he resigned and retired. The article describes in great length his infinite joy of breaking away from officialdom and imagining the infinite pleasure of returning to the countryside, which shows the author's yearning and love for nature and seclusion life. The article skillfully integrates narration, discussion and lyricism to create a natural and attractive artistic realm; the language is natural and simple, with a strong local flavor. There are nine chapters in the rhymes of "fan Shang Hua Zan", "Du Shi Shu", "Ji Cheng Mei Wen", "Ji Cong Di Jing Yuan Wen", "Zi Ji Wen"; there are prose of "biography of Shi Meng Fu Jun, commander of the great general of the Western Jin Dynasty", also known as "biography of Meng Jia BIE Zhuan", which is a biography written for his forefather Meng Jia; in addition, there are biography of Mr. Wuliu, story of Taohuayuan, and Yu Ziyan, etc. Generally speaking, the number and achievement of Tao Wen are not as good as Tao Shi. Tao Yuanming's works are sincere, simple and natural, revealing the thoughts of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, which are escapist and happy. He is known as an "idyllic poet".
