Far more than the previous generation and contemporary poets in quantity and contact surface of poetry; Therefore, his achievements have become a valuable harvest in the history of China's poetry. Just as countless excellent writers represent the confrontation between a poor class and the ruling class, among these poor people, only Tao Yuanming really went to the peasants. This makes Tao's poems seem so simple, honest and simple in all his poems. His style is the most distinctive and typical.
