Tao's career as a "scholar gentleman" or a government official clashed with his loneliness tendency, and he became a hermit in rural areas with his family in China. As a poet, he showed warmth, humanity and personal fragility. Unlike most of his contemporaries and predecessors, Tao Qian neither wrote in a lofty way nor exaggerated the advantages of seclusion. He is loyal to friends and family, philosophically skeptical and realistic about daily life and its hardships, but in the process of trying to be worthy of the hermit and sage of the past, he is also full of regret and longing for romance.
Tao wrote several autobiographical passages in the third person to summarize the Biography of Five Willow Gentlemen, which is a stylized masterpiece, without revealing too much, but infused with the simplicity of self-restraint.
He is taciturn and does not desire honor and interests. He likes studying, but he doesn't seek profound explanations. Whenever he understands something, then, in his happiness, he forgets to eat. ...
The wall around his house is only a few steps long and lonely, so it can't shelter him from the wind and rain. His short coarse robe was torn and mended. His plates and gourds are often empty, but he is calm. He often takes pleasure in writing, in which he expresses his ideals widely. He doesn't care about gains and losses, so he will go to the end.
The details of Tao Qian's life are simple. This family is poor, but well educated. His mother died when he was very young. He started his career in the government bureaucracy, and eventually resigned and returned to China, rejecting the repeated requests for other positions. Tao Qian got married, had children, and decided to live a self-sufficient life as a hermit and farmer.
But after a fire destroyed his ancestral home, poverty troubled him. Farming is tiring work, and he becomes thin and sick. Tao still refused the job invitation of an old acquaintance of the government. For a while, Lehe gave in, went to a military post, and then worked as the mayor for a while. But it didn't last long.
Tao Qian's two retirements are described in his most famous poems "Homecoming" and "Homecoming", which is a series of five poems about seclusion. First, this scene comes from The Return of the Native:

Yang Zhenning was a member of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton, New Jersey from 1949 to 1955, and was a physics professor there from 1955 to 1965. 1965, he was appointed Albert Einstein professor of physics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is famous for his research in statistical mechanics and particle physics. He shared the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics with American physicist T. D. Lee for refuting the study of parity law, which pointed out that at the subatomic level, nature does not distinguish between left-handed and right-handed configurations: if nuclear reaction or decay occurs in nature, its mirror image will also occur at the same frequency.
