His pastoral poems describe simple rural scenery and daily rural life, reflecting his quiet mood and interest after retirement. In the way of expression, these poems mostly use line drawing, and the language is simple and natural, which is rare and gorgeous, but this does not mean that it is dull and tasteless. Tao Yuanming's love for life and nature is contained in the plain description of landscape pastoral poems, which shows his beautiful personality and lofty ideals.
At the same time, Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems are rich in artistic conception, and the selected scenery is distinctive, full of poet's feelings, reflecting the poet's personality characteristics. Tao poetry is also good at integrating profound philosophy into the images of poetry, so that ordinary materials show extraordinary artistic conception, which is very harmonious and often fascinating.
Tao Yuanming introduced
Tao Yuanming was the most outstanding poet in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and one of the great poets in the history of ancient poetry in China. Influenced by Confucian orthodoxy since childhood, he has the ambition of "helping the poor" and served as an official several times.
But he was also influenced by Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts and the prevailing seclusion atmosphere at that time, and he loved nature and advocated seclusion. The corrupt, dark and dirty social reality not only made his ambition to save the world impossible, but also made him bring disgrace to oneself deal with the stormy officialdom carefully, which made him feel contradictory and painful.
At the age of forty-one, he was appointed as Peng. Because he couldn't carry five buckets of rice, he bent over and resolutely ended his life of being displaced for more than ten years, resigned and retired, and resolutely embarked on the road to returning to the field. After returning to the field, the poet described the infinitely beautiful rural scenery, praised the natural and pure rural life, poured out the joy of friendly exchanges with farmers, and reflected the ideals and aspirations of the broad masses of people in pursuit of a better life.
At that time, when metaphysical poetry enveloped the poetic world, he opposed the fact that metaphysical poetry was divorced from reality and boring, and created first-class poetry for China. With brand-new content and simple and natural style, his poems opened up a new field for China's classical poetry, namely, pastoral poetry, thus becoming the founder of the school of pastoral poetry.
