Tao Yuanming was born in a famous family and was deeply influenced by Confucianism and Taoism. He was born at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his family background gradually declined at the turn of the Jin and Song Dynasties. Great-grandfather Tao Kan, the founding father of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, made outstanding military achievements. He was an official of Fu, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the eight countries, and Jing and Jiang were the secretariat of Changsha. Grandfather Tao Mao and father Tao Yi are both governors. He had the ambition of "helping the poor" when he was young, and because of his poor family, Yuan Ming began his career as an official at the age of twenty. "Drinking" Part 10: "I swam far to the corner of the East China Sea. It's a long way to go, Xiu Yuan, and wind and rain hinder the road. Who made this trip? As if driven by hunger. Just have a little when you are full. Afraid that this is not a famous plan, I will go back to a hidden place "is to recall his official career." "At this stage, the details of the junior officials he was forced to serve by life are not yet available. After a short life at home, he became a state wine waiter at the age of 29 (the specific affairs of this official position have yet to be verified), and soon he was unbearable to be an official and resigned and returned to China. Soon, the country asked him to be the master book, but he resigned and still lived at home. In the second year of Longan (AD 398), Yuanming joined Huan Xuan. At the beginning of the fourth year of Longan (AD 400), he was sent to the capital and returned from the capital in May. Yu Guilin was blocked by the strong wind, and there was a poem "Gengzi was still blocked from the capital in May", which expressed his desire to return home and his nostalgia for the former residence in the garden. A year later, I went back to Xunyang to mourn my mother. After the expiration of three years, Yuan Ming became an official again with the concept of "forty ignorance and no fear" and became a general of the town army, Liu Yu. At this point, his mood is contradictory. He wants to make a grand plan for being an official, but he still misses the countryside after being an official. "He hates seeing different places in Sichuan, and his heart is full of mountains and rivers" ("The First Town Army Joins the Army" Qu Azuo). In March of the first year of Yixi (A.D. 405), Yuan and Ming joined Liu Shenjun, the general of Jianwei, and moved to the west to build the capital. There is a poem called "When I was four years old, I crossed the capital of western Guizhou", which said, "I look at the mountains and rivers every morning, and everything remains the same", "I care about what I have, but I don't care what I have" and "I dream about gardening every day, and I haven't seen you for a long time", which is the turmoil between officials. At the age of forty-one, he retired and lived a free and leisurely pastoral life. In the next twenty-three years, although I was often worried, angry and had a hard life, I no longer wanted to be an official. Finally, he died of poverty and illness at the age of 63.
