During the Tang Dynasty.
Tao Yuanming's poetry gradually became known to people during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it was in the Tang Dynasty that it really began to be taken seriously. During the Tang Dynasty, poets such as Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Han Yu, and Li Bai all expressed their appreciation and praise for Tao Yuanming in their poems. Du Fu, in particular, spoke very highly of Tao Yuanming. By the Song Dynasty, Tao Yuanming's poetry, poetic style and ideas were pushed to a state of glory and prosperity. Su Dongpo, the great writer of the Song Dynasty, admired and respected him to the extreme.
Tao Yuanming's life can be roughly divided into three periods. In addition, there are also "Poems of Mr. Dongpo and Tao Yuanming" published in the Song Dynasty and Su's large-character version published in the Yuan Dynasty. Today's edited annotations of "Tao Yuanming's Collection" are the most detailed. Tao Yuanming (365-427), a poet, poet and prose writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. A Qian, with the courtesy name Yuan Liang, and his private nickname Jingjie. A native of Chaisang, Xunyang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi). Tao Yuanming was born into a declining gentry family. Great-grandfather Tao Kan was the founding father of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He held the rank of Grand Sima, military commander of eight states, governor of two states in Jingjiang, and was granted the title of Duke of Changsha. Tao Yuanming's grandfather was a prefect, his father died early, and his mother was the daughter of Meng Jia, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming's life can be roughly divided into three periods. In the first period, before Tao Yuanming was 28 years old, due to the early death of his father, he had been living in poverty since his youth. The second period, from the age of 29 to 41, is the academic period. The third period, from the age of 41 to the time of death, is the period of returning to the fields. Because he was dissatisfied with the dark reality that the powerful gentry controlled the power at that time, he was unwilling to give in for five buckets of rice. After serving Peng Zeling for more than 80 days, he wrote "Returning to Come Back" and returned to his fields on his own, never to come back. Spending time with the woodcutter's husband, he enjoyed farming, poetry and wine. The more than 20 years after returning to the field were the most creative period. There are currently 125 poems by Tao Yuanming in existence, including 9 four-character poems and 116 five-character poems.
