Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring opens a new door for us, a door to the ideal world, but many people doubt that there is really a Peach Blossom Spring in the world. If there is such a place as Peach Blossom Garden, where is it now? Now let's slowly analyze where the Peach Blossom Garden is.
From a historical point of view, the social background at that time was the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When people were always in poverty in the face of dynasty changes, Mr. Tao Yuanming told everyone about the adventure of a secular fisherman who accidentally entered an isolated place. Tao Yuanming created a society without class disputes, oppression and exploitation, living and working in peace and contentment, self-sufficiency, everyone enjoying themselves and equal development, which was completely contrary to the social status quo at that time, and was also Tao Yuanming's inner reaction and yearning for the ideal world. Therefore, most scholars now believe that Peach Blossom Spring was written by Tao Yuanming out of helplessness to the society at that time and the pursuit of a peaceful and happy society.
We can analyze the place names in the article from another angle. "Wu Lingren takes fishing as its business", and Wuling appears here. Wuling is located in today's Changde City, Hunan Province. Changde City has a 4A-level national key scenic spot, Taohuayuan Scenic Area. Taohuayuan scenic spot has beautiful scenery and many historical sites, which is also very similar to Tao Yuanming's Taohuayuan. Therefore, we can also draw the conclusion that the Peach Blossom Garden in Changde, Hunan Province is the closest to the place described in Tao Yuanming's article.
However, as we can see later, when future generations look for it again, it is gone. We might as well think that it is Tao Yuanming's yearning for the ideal world.
