Tao Yuanming’s pastoral poems may seem plain to people at first, but when they are read again, they have a sense of “the ordinary contains the wonders and the dead trees are lush and graceful”. The poet has achieved a high level of attainment in the refining and use of language and characters. Incorporate his love for nature and pastoral life into his poems, making people read as if they are immersed in the scene, strolling in the natural and tranquil countryside, giving people endless reverie, as the saying goes, "The most extraordinary things that seem ordinary" , it’s easy but hard to achieve.” For example, Chapter 5 of "Drinking": "The house is in a human environment, and there is no noise of carriages and horses. I ask you how you can do it, but my mind is far away. I am picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, and I can see Nanshan leisurely. The mountain air is beautiful day and night, and the birds are flying with me. There is a true meaning in it, and I have already said it if I want to argue." This is a portrayal of leisurely and happy rural life. Through the text, we can see "facing the mountains and building a hut, hugging one's knees and singing songs, picking chrysanthemums and watching the sun, and laughing. The image of a hermit who is proud of the wind and the moon. The quiet mountain forest, the tired birds, and the poet's questions and answers. At this time, the author's state of mind cannot be described in words. This can also be seen in the poet's unwillingness to go with the world and his desire to yearn for nature and pastoral life. At the same time, it can also be seen that the poet's expression of things and extension of artistic conception are extraordinary. A few numbers show a person's attitude towards life, love for nature, description of things, and contempt for worldly affairs at a glance. This is also a unique style of Tao Gong's poetry. Tao Shi not only opened up a new world of pastoral poetry, but also made significant achievements in the art of pastoral poetry. His poetry is a new creation, which poeticizes daily life and finds important meaning and lasting poetic flavor in daily life. Before him, Qu Yuan, Cao Cao, Cao Zhi, Ruan Ji, Lu Ji, etc. all focused on the topic. Regarding the subject of national politics, Tao rewrites ordinary life, using commonplace language to write about common things, which is full of poetry. Tao Yuanming devoted all his talents and energy to the creation of pastoral poetry, and achieved unparalleled achievements, pushing pastoral poetry to its peak in one fell swoop. Shen Deqian, a native of the Qing Dynasty, said: "Tao's poems are magnificent, and one section is deep, simple and lush. According to the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Youcheng has his pureness, Mengshan people have his leisurely distance, Chu Taizhu has his simplicity, and Wei Zuosi has his harmony. Liu Yi, Cao Youjun and Jie all learned from it and got close to it." It can be seen that the pastoral poets of the Tang Dynasty each absorbed certain aspects of their strengths from Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems, but could not surpass Tao Yuanming as a whole. Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems still have irreplaceable aesthetic value today and have attracted much attention from modern people. Tao Yuanming is an outstanding poet in the history of Chinese literature. His poems take pastoral life as the theme, creating a new artistic realm of pastoral poetry, making pastoral poetry an important content of poetry after the Tang and Song Dynasties. Tao's poetry followed the simplicity of poetry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and entered a purer and more sophisticated realm. He successfully elevated nature to a state of beauty. He created a new type of beauty and a kind of artistic conception in Chinese poetry. The extremely mellow and unpretentious beauty of dilution is inseparable from his rich life experience. Without the experience of pastoral life, these widely read pastoral poems would not have been written, thus laying the foundation for Tao's poetry in the history of Chinese literature. achieved immortal status. Tao's thoughts were basically Confucian, but later he was also influenced by Taoism to a certain extent. He rarely had the ambition to help the times, and later gave up this ideal after repeated setbacks, but he could stick to his integrity and refused to follow the trend. It's a pity that he finally "entrusted his destiny to take advantage of the transformation" and had to comply with the destiny and maintain an indifferent attitude towards worldly affairs. After he returned to the fields, he participated in part of the productive labor and got along with the farmers on an equal footing. This was the progressive side of his thinking and played a great role in his literary achievements.
