The famous poem describing the elm tree is "Returning to the Garden".
Whole poem:
Returning to the Garden: Tao Yuanming in Wei and Jin Dynasties
Few people do as the Romans do. Their nature is to love nature.
Birds in cages are often attached to the forests of the past, and fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past.
I want to open up wasteland in Minamino and keep my humility to the fields.
The house is surrounded by about ten acres of land, thatched cottages.
Willow trees cover the eaves, and peach trees cover Li Lieman in front of the hospital.
The neighboring village of the neighboring village is faintly visible, and there is smoke in the village.
Several dogs barked in the alley, and the mulberry tree was barked by a rooster.
There is no dust and sundries in the yard, and the quiet room is comfortable and leisurely.
Trapped in a cage without freedom for a long time, I finally returned to the forest today.
Appreciate and return to the garden;
Tao Yuanming couldn't stand the filth of officialdom and the bondage of secularism, so he resolutely resigned and retired, and devoted himself to farming. The relaxed feeling of leaving the official career, the joy of returning to nature, and the quiet pastoral, simple communication and farming experience make this group of poems become outstanding pastoral poems.
This group of poems vividly describes the poet's life and feelings after retirement, and expresses the author's happy mood and rural fun after his resignation, thus showing his love for rural life and the joy of workers. At the same time, it implies a sense of disgust at the dark and corrupt life of officialdom, which shows that the author is unwilling to go with the flow and willing to endure the hardships of field life in order to maintain his complete personality and noble sentiment. This group of poems embodies Tao Yuanming's beautiful sentiments of pursuing freedom, being content with poverty, living in seclusion in Shan Ye, being honest and upright, being far away from officialdom and being above the common customs. Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden" is actually the writer's own ideal former residence.
Returning to the garden residence is an inseparable organic whole. The reason for this is not only that each poem depicts the poet's rich and fulfilling seclusion from the aspects of resignation, gathering with relatives and friends, enjoying farming, visiting old friends and drinking at night, but more importantly, as far as the feelings expressed are concerned, it runs through this group of poems with a natural and pleasant interest. Although there are emotional turmoil and turning points in the poem, the bright colors of joy and philosophy reflect the whole article.
