Literary thoughts:

Tao Yuanming was a great thinker in the Middle Ages. His literary thought is an important part of the literary thought in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. His understanding of truth not only pays attention to the truth of history and life, but also pays attention to the truth of thoughts, feelings and ambitions, which is a perfect artistic truth. At the same time, his understanding of nature also shows the uniqueness of his literary thought.

He doesn't talk about enlightenment, he doesn't carve things, he pays attention to the free expression of emotions and the naturalness of poetry, which is a very high realm. However, both advocating artistic truth and advocating literary essence are for the free expression of life. This is the soul of Tao Yuanming's literary thought.

Tao Yuanming has a very clear understanding of the hypocrisy and darkness of social personnel, so his seclusion is not a passive escape from reality, but has a profound positive significance in criticizing social reality.

When he was caught in the predicament of hunger and cold in his long seclusion, although he hesitated and wavered, he did not give in to the reality in the end, preferring poverty and sticking to chastity all his life. It is said that the county magistrate sent Du You to see him, and the county official told him to get dressed to see him. He sighed and said, "How can I bow down to the children in the village?" .

From then on, it is better to talk about not bending over for five buckets of rice. Tao Yuanming likes drinking, and "sending wine as a trace" expresses his desire not to collude with the decadent ruling group, and shows the poet's indifferent and broad-minded mind and aloof and noble character. It is precisely because of this that his works are plain but poetic.

Tao's poems are over 140, and the allusions in Liezi and Zhuangzi are quoted as many as 70 times. It must be said that he has a deep acceptance of Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts. Tao Yuanming advocates the natural aesthetics of Laozi and Zhuangzi, while living and working in the countryside. Naturally, rural life became his aesthetic objectification, which made China's pastoral poems brilliant.

Tao Yuanming's poetic beauty thought of taking nature as beauty and truth as beauty shines on poetry, illuminates the personality of the characters, and makes readers strongly feel the poet's arrogant and unyielding personality charm of pursuing freedom. Reflected in the content, rural life was introduced into the world of poetry, which opened up a new world for the development of China's poetry.

Infiltrating into art is to produce a true and simple artistic realm and an aesthetic style that dilutes nature. This is the great poet Tao Yuanming. For thousands of years, his personality, his poems, his pastoral poems, together with his leisure, have become the objects of worship and research by later poets and readers, which is enough to show that his aesthetic thoughts have infinite vitality.

Moral

In order to support his family, Tao Yuanming came to Pengze, not far from his hometown, as a county magistrate. That winter, the county magistrate sent a tour to pengze county to supervise the government. Du You has low taste and some power. Speak with your mouth in front of the satrap. Du You, who was sent here this time, is a vulgar and arrogant person. As soon as he arrived at Penzer's guest house, he sent a county magistrate to call a county magistrate to see him.

Tao Yuanming usually despises fame and fortune, refuses to obey orders, despises such a person who gives orders in the name of a higher level, but he wants to see it again, so he set off at once. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate stopped Tao Yuanming and said, "My Lord, Du, you should wear official clothes and a big belt, otherwise it will be indecent. Du, you take the opportunity to make a scene, which is not good for adults! "

Therefore, Tao Yuanming couldn't stand it any longer. Sighed and said, "I can't bend over to the villains in the village for five buckets of rice!" " "He said, and simply took out the official seal, stamped it, immediately wrote his resignation letter, and then left Peng Ze, who had only been the county magistrate for more than 80 days.
