Tao Yuanming, who lived at that time, was addicted to Buddhist life, and the long-term war made people physically and mentally exhausted. Therefore, he put the ideal society behind the fantasy of a better life.
The above is what our Chinese teacher taught us when we were young. About what? Peach Blossom Garden? The beautiful interpretation of.
However, with the growth of age and the accumulation of knowledge, I gradually found that:
Although Peach Blossom Garden was a fictional work at that time, there were many places that did not conform to common sense and reality. This is just a dark fairy tale full of fear.
Secondly, using modern rational thinking, the seemingly fictional elements in literary works are rationally thought.
1, pyramid-shaped mound structure with wide front and wide back
When the forest and water are exhausted, there must be mountains. ? . There is a small mouth on the mountain, which seems to have light. Then he left the boat and went in through his mouth. Only by being narrow-minded from the beginning can you understand others. Just a few more steps and you'll know.
Commentary: The end of Taolin is the birthplace of the stream, so there will be a mountain with a small hole on it, which looks a little bright. So he got off the boat and went in through the hole. At first, the hole was so narrow that only one person could pass through it. After a few more steps, it suddenly became open and bright.
According to Xu's introduction and analysis of the Secret Book of Han Dynasty, the structure of the tombs in Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties is the same as that described in the article: the mouth is small, and the front and back are narrow and wide.
The purpose of narrow front and wide back is to prevent grave robbers. In order to avoid the death of the deceased, people don't let the houses in urban and rural areas be narrow and wide. Otherwise, the place where they live is too like a grave. Why would anyone do that?
2. peach blossoms and mulberry beads exorcise evil spirits
Suddenly, there is a peach blossom forest on the shore with hundreds of steps. There are no miscellaneous trees in it. The grass is delicious and the flowers are bright. ?
Commentary: I suddenly met a peach blossom forest, which grows on both sides of the river, hundreds of steps away. There are no other trees in the middle. Flowers and plants are fresh and beautiful, and flowers are everywhere.
At that time, the cemetery should be surrounded by mountains and rivers, with mulberry trees and peach trees hanging in the shade to ward off evil spirits. As early as the pre-Qin ancient books, it was recorded that peach trees can ward off evil spirits, and all ghosts will run away when they see them. People don't plant peach trees near their homes.
Based on the above information, the pyramid-shaped mound structure, peach trees, mulberry trees and bamboo were the standard configuration of the cemetery at that time, all of which appeared in the story of Taohuayuan. Is this a paradise town or a gloomy cemetery?
Dress like everyone else in the world
Some men and women dressed like strangers.
Commentary: People come and go, farming and working in the fields. The clothes of men and women are exactly the same as those of people outside the Peach Blossom Garden.
What is the horrible truth of Peach Blossom Garden?
According to the introduction of Taohuayuan people, in order to avoid the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, the ancestors led the wives to this desperate place? . Their ancestors came here to escape the war of the Qin Dynasty (22 BC1-207 BC).
The Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 3 17-420) differs from the Qin Dynasty by at least 400-500 years. Hanfu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also influenced by the northern nationalities. The clothing style is quite different from that of the Qin Dynasty 500 years ago. How can they be exactly like people outside the Peach Blossom Garden?
For more than 500 years, close relatives got married and had children.
Enjoy it. ?
Commentary: Old people and children are very comfortable and happy.
The following article content:? Yunzu avoided the chaos of Qin Dynasty. He led his wife to this desperate situation and did not return to Yan, so he was separated from outsiders. ?
