During the Jin-Tai-Yuan period, Wu Lingren made a living by fishing and walked along the stream, forgetting the distance of the journey. Suddenly I met the peach blossom forest and grabbed the shore for hundreds of steps. There are no miscellaneous trees in it, the grass is delicious and the English is colorful. The fisherman is very different and goes on to say ...
Further on, as we all know, it is the Peach Blossom Garden, which is the ideal society described by Tao Yuanming for the world. "Spring silkworms collect silk, and autumn silkworms are taxed ... although there is no calendar, they are four years old ... Qing and thin are different sources, still quiet." For thousands of years, the Peach Blossom Garden has always had a strong attraction to people. Although it is still struggling on earth, it still lingers in Xanadu.
Tao Yuanming is from Jiangxi. Both Book of Jin and Book of Song believed that he was the great-grandson of diligent and honest official Tao Kan in Yongjia period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but not necessarily. Tao Yuanming is a man with extraordinary talent. He can't forget politics, but he doesn't want to go along with it. Sometimes he is depressed, but he is also happy. Like all other great men with extraordinary wisdom, he faced all the hardships in life calmly. Tao Yuanming yearns for simple and quiet rural scenery and rural life. His poems are natural, simple and charming, and they are the poems of Zhong Rong, the "Sect of hermit poets in ancient and modern times". In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he worked as a few small officials, but all of them had no connection with Hunan. Why Tao Yuanming chose the ideal world in Hunan is puzzling.
2 1 century, about 17 centuries after Tao Yuanming wrote The Peach Blossom Spring, I went to Hunan to search for The Peach Blossom Spring. This is Taoyuan County, which is more than 0/00 kilometers west of Changde (Wuling). It is a dark green mountain with a wide road leading to the foot of the mountain and entering from a gate like a temple. It is indeed a peach forest, but the peach trees are too small, about two or three years, which is too far from the legendary 1700 years. I walked around Taolin and found that there was no stream, so I climbed the mountain road. On the way, there is a temple called "Taohuaguan" and a new calligraphy tablet gallery. Further on, I saw a big pool, as flat as a mirror, reflecting green hills and bamboos, and the scenery was beautiful. After walking hundreds of steps, I found a room on the mountain, where there was no flat land and no men and women plowing. The bearers said that this is the grand view of the Peach Blossom Garden.
I was not satisfied when I went down the mountain, or I suspected that this was not Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden. Everyone is whispering. Let it be, doesn't Mr. Shen Congwen also disapprove of Peach Blossom Garden? He said that for thousands of years, the impression of scholars on Taoyuan has not changed much. This article has increased many people's fantasies and increased many people's drinking capacity. As for the people who live there, no one thinks that they are adherents or immortals, and no one has seen them.
But Mr Shen Congwen is much luckier than we are now. Although it was only 50 or 60 years later, the content of his Peach Blossom Garden at that time may be richer than now, and he can travel by boat, leisurely and romantic. Mr. Shen Congwen also wrote in the article "Taoyuan and Yuanzhou" that there were strong men in the bamboo forest of Taohuayuan, and I don't know which dynasty it belonged to, but Mr. Shen Congwen didn't seem to make it clear. I also wrote that there is a place by the Houjiang River in Taoyuan County, which is a story with thousands of words. Mr. Shen is a master of contemporary prose, and his articles are meaningful as olives. The story of Houjiang is already an old account; Taoyuan is rich in products, and the life of rowing boats on the river and sailors who support rowing boats has long been like old wine. Mr. Shen is used to using his lyric articles to reveal China's classical poems to show us the unique Xiangxi customs, and let us appreciate them slowly today.
Passing the Peach Blossom View when going down the mountain, a sign tube was put on the stone case, so a sign was taken, and a Taoist priest pressed the sign paper, handed over the release signature and said:
There are prophets who do things for people,
Love is kind and bright.
There is a spring and autumn for praise and criticism,
Pitching is worthy of heaven and earth.
After reading it, I secretly enjoyed it and thought it was just what I wanted. Out of the door, on the car, this peach blossom garden has been visited.
