How to understand Tao Yuanming's patriotism

Tao Yuanming's patriotism can only be understood from the reasons for his retirement! Tao Yuanming did not give up his official position and retire for the sake of five dou meters. He passively avoided the world instead of indulging himself as a degenerate in officialdom, which just shows his patriotism. His isolation from the world is a helpless move when there is no way to help the world. His life is a true reaction of "being rich is helpful to the world, and being poor is immune to it". In a corrupt society, when a person can't realize his dream of being an official, seclusion is the only way to prove his patriotism.
