What is the difference between "Poem of Peach Blossom Spring" and "Journey to Peach Blossom Spring"

"Poems of Peach Blossom Spring" was written by Tao Yuanming sixteen years after he retired to the countryside. When he was young, Tao Yuanming also had the ambition to "help the common people", but he lived in a time of social turmoil, endless wars, and people's livelihood. In addition, the family situation has long been in decline, and people from poor families can only "difficult to fulfill their ambitions." It is precisely because of this that Tao Yuanming chose the path of "attacking the soil to enjoy himself". Retreating to the countryside and working on self-financing, I feel the simplicity and amiability of farmers and the joy of pastoral life. The political darkness of real life all aroused waves in his thoughts. He could not change this situation, so he had to resort to pen and ink to express his feelings to express his political ideals and beautiful tastes. Hence his "Peach Blossom Spring Poems". "Poetry of the Peach Blossom Spring" expresses the author's criticism of the dark social reality through the narration and admiration of an imaginary "Peach Blossom Spring". It is a mirror of beauty held up in front of the ugly. The "Peach Blossom Spring" described in the "Records" is such a picture: "The land is flat, the houses are neat, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo; there is traffic on the streets, chickens fly and hear each other, there are people planting crops, and the clothes of men and women are carefully observed. Like an outsider. His hair is yellow and he is happy. "This is a peaceful and peaceful life. "Coming and planting" highlights everyone's hard work, "pleasantly enjoying themselves" can show the joy of "having enough food and clothing", and the description of land, houses, chickens and dogs expresses social stability in a subtle way. The people of Taoyuan "set up wine and killed chickens for food" and "each returned to his home", which also shows the simplicity of the folk customs in Taoyuan. In the "Poetry", "Xiang Ming is farming, and he rests when the sun comes. Mulberry and bamboo hang down to provide shade, and millet is harvested at any time. Silkworms gather filaments in spring, and the king's taxes are harvested when they ripen in autumn. The deserted road warms the traffic, and chickens and dogs bark at each other. Zu The beans are still in ancient times, and the clothes are not made in the new way. Children and old people are singing and wandering happily. "It also depicts a peaceful and healthy world for us. In this world, everyone works at sunrise, rests at sundown, plows according to orders, harvests in spring and autumn, chickens and dogs crow with each other, and children and old people are happy. In this way, the simplicity of the folk customs described in the "note" complement each other, forming a fascinating Taoyuan wonderland. It can be said that "notes" and "poems" are consistent in the theme center and conceptual conception. But comparing the two, it is not difficult to find that they have their own characteristics in terms of genre, content selection and arrangement, and specific expression techniques. From the perspective of genre, "Ji" is a prose form that describes the fisherman's discovery and visit to the Peach Blossom Spring. The Peach Blossom Spring was discovered "suddenly" when the fishermen "forgot" how far the road was, and it was placed amidst the long green water, the peach groves on the banks, and the colorful flowers. It gives people a sense of mysterious change. The disappearance of Peach Blossom Spring also seems confusing, like a dream. But at the same time, the Peach Blossom Spring described by the author is natural, realistic, and intimate, because the article contains specific time, place, and characters, and it is written by a fisherman’s personal experience. This is the characteristic of the prose genre, which gives the article a twists and turns and novel storyline. "Poetry" focuses on describing the social system of Peach Blossom Land and the poet's yearning. It is different from "notes" in its meticulous imitation and color depiction. The social outlook expressed in the poem pits the "pureness" of Taoism against the "thinness" of reality, thus setting off a contradiction inspired by the dark society. In this way, the unique mind formed by this detached spirit makes the poem contain a transcendent artistic conception, so this seemingly gentle narrative also has an elegant and refined charm. These are determined by the different genres of "notes" and "poems". From the perspective of content selection, firstly, the "note" uses what the fisherman saw and heard as clues to organize the full text, so the selection of content must be limited to what was seen and heard at one time and place. As for "poetry", the author narrates it as a third party, so that it can be radiated and elaborated from multiple sides and angles. The content of "notes" should be chosen with attention to detail, so that it can be copied to describe the spirit. As for the content selection of "poetry", we start from a broad perspective to expand its scope. In this way, the two complement each other and complement each other, reflecting the theme extremely well. Secondly, due to the limitations of the style in the "Notes", the plot-rich details of the prefect's "finding" were not chosen to express his wish - Gao Shiliu Ziji wanted to go, and the author was not the same. This seems subtle and meaningful. "Poetry" takes advantage of poetic expressions and directly discusses: "Simple and thin, it has a foreign origin, and it is also secluded." To point out the reason why the Peach Blossom Spring is inaccessible, it seems natural and sincere. From the perspective of specific writing techniques, due to the different genres of "notes" and "poems", the two are also very different in specific techniques of expression, which are actually "different songs". First of all, from the perspective of writing style, "notes" mostly use descriptions, such as the look of "I was shocked", the mood of "all sighing", etc., which are written delicately and vividly; while "poems" mostly use narratives and discussions, which appear gentle and full of rhyme. Secondly, the language of "Record" is concise and vivid, such as the sentences "The land is flat and vast", which conveys the style of Taoyuan without saying much. Li Gonghuan said that "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" says "I don't know that there was Han, regardless of Wei and Jin", which is a very simple and clever way of making words. The language of "poetry" appears simple and natural, similar to spoken language, without any trace of artificiality. Secondly, the structure of the "note" is based on fishermen, from the beautiful and peaceful environment to the clothing of men and women, the spiritual outlook of labor and joy; from the lives of these people to their origins, the layers are in-depth and sequenced. Well organized and organized. The "poetry" naturally and skillfully leads to discussion from the statement "the sages avoid chaos", and the description and discussion are combined into a seamless whole. Narration is the basis of negotiation, and negotiation is the sublimation of narrative.

Finally, looking at individual parts, the "Ji" tells the origin of the story by using narrative techniques, which is clever but not abrupt; while the "Poetry" uses the technique of narration to describe the story, which is natural and smooth. In short, both "Peach Blossom Spring Poems" have the same theme and perspective, but different genre techniques. The two perfectly complement each other and form a perfect whole, which perfectly expresses the author's love and hate emotions, interests and wishes. It is actually a classic in the treasure house of ancient Chinese literature.
