Tao Yuanming's drinking poems and calligraphy works 3
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan". Who among China literati can be so pure-hearted, leaving only chrysanthemums in Nanshan? Tao Yuanming chose the road of seclusion. This road is chic and clear. However, what did Tao Qian do besides drinking and picking chrysanthemums? This may even be something he can't answer. The road of seclusion has been chosen by countless literati in China, but as Mr. Yu said: "The morality of self-improvement leads to the overall immorality." Perhaps the chance of history contributed to a literary monument. But if the road of history is extended forward, can thousands of Tao Yuanming come out?
Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet in Jin Dynasty, was also keen on officialdom and wanted to show his ambition in his official career. However, when he made the Pengze county magistrate and learned about the darkness of officialdom, he resolutely resigned and retired. "Birds are tired of the ancient forest, and the fish in the pond miss the ancient garden." He still likes the life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". From then on, he plowed and stayed away from the world. He found his place and realized his life value. Tao Qian leisurely picked chrysanthemums under the oriental salamander and danced with butterflies. Facing Nanshan, Yuanming chose to forget the ugliness of officialdom and all the unhappiness he encountered. This is the choice of the soul, the wise choice made by people crossing the river on both sides of the strait, and the wise "ferry".
He is a hermit who "picks chrysanthemums under the east fence and sees Nanshan leisurely", an elegant person who "knows the interest of the piano, why bother to play the strings", and a farmer who "hoes Dai Yue", right! It's him, Tao Yuanming, who is famous in the literary world for a hundred years. He doesn't want to "bend down and pick up five buckets of rice" and hang it in the countryside.
He forgot the frustration of officialdom and the lack of official career, but remembered the wishes of the world and wrote down the sacred place in his heart-Peach Blossom Garden.
Stay away from the world, live in seclusion in the countryside and watch the flowers bloom and fall. Tao Yuanming's life is quiet and free, like white clouds in the blue sky and fish scales in the sea. Because of chrysanthemum, his desire for freedom has been bound by the cage of officialdom for too long. No sustenance at all? Choose chrysanthemums! Fresh and elegant, otherwise it's just like his unruly personality. It was Tao Shi who pinned his heart on the chrysanthemum and found the pure land of his own soul. It was also Tao Shi who made the chrysanthemum wear a high-quality and uncontroversial hat.
