For decades, the "Taoyuan Complex" has spawned numerous rural tourist attractions and stimulated economic growth. However, in the view of tourism researchers, this is not worthy of applause. For example, some people say that Taoyuan, as the object of tourists' visit, is actually an original ecological image of China people, and it is a kind of return and reminiscence of China people to their lost native land, which is even more urgent because tourists are far away from their native land. It can be said that the homesickness complex triggered the Taoyuan complex. Tourists are forced to stay away from their native land, and unconsciously realize that Taoyuan, the home of human beings, is becoming noisy, restless and nervous due to irresistible forces, and is losing its peaceful, harmonious and soothing primitive state of mind and warm atmosphere day by day. There is a premonition that human beings are gradually losing their original homes. Under the collective unconscious function of Taoyuan Complex, a desire to return is constantly produced and released. This primitive image of Taoyuan is a collective unconscious phenomenon repeated by China people for thousands of times. It has driven generations of literati to appreciate the charm of their native land and hometown in the countryside where the ancient style still exists, and shaped the convergent tourism personality of the Chinese nation "looking back", but it has not formed Xie Gui 'an's tourism personality of facing nature and going forward bravely like the western nation. The implication is that "Taoyuan Complex" is conservative, backward and evasive, so the related tourism is also sad. Probably in many people's minds, the tourism phenomenon of "Peach Blossom Garden" is just taking advantage of people's backward psychology to make money on their own initiative.
In fact, the "Peach Blossom Garden" in modern people's minds is deeply rooted. There are many topics on the Internet, such as "Everyone has a paradise in his heart". For example, everyone can have a paradise in his heart and no one can deprive him of this right. People should strive for reality, but the romance in their hearts will never fade, just like Tao Yuanming. Some people compare the "Taoyuan Complex" in local novels including Shen Congwen's Xiangxi novels in the 1920s and 1930s with the "paradise" consciousness in western religions, and make a deeper explanation of the ideological value of Shen Congwen's novels from the perspective of human spiritual home and ultimate care, thus promoting Shen Congwen's ideological exploration to a higher level of humanistic care. Since the 20th century, the "Taoyuan Complex" embodied by Shen Congwen and other writers is just the opposite of the noise, pollution and congestion of the city, as well as the tension between people such as selfishness, quarrels, intrigues and conflicts. It can be said that China people are not suitable for the transformation from an agricultural city to a commercial city. Many people come to live in cities from rural areas and find the contrast too great to adapt. However, it is not certain that people who have lived in cities for generations will not have urban diseases, let alone that city people especially like listening to the noise of cars, like the crowded people around them, like the dirty air, like cheating and conflicting interpersonal relationships, and are keen on cheating and tireless. After all, city people can adapt to all this, but they can't like it.
Some people may regard Tao Yuanming as an "escapist", but he is not. What he wants to escape is politics, not life itself. If he were a logician, he might decide to become a monk and run away from life completely. But Tao Yuanming loves life, and he doesn't want to escape it completely. In his view, his wife and children are so real, his garden, the branches that extend through his yard, and the solitary pine he loves are so lovely; Because he is a sentimental person, not a logician, he wants to be with people around him. This is how he loves life. From this positive and reasonable attitude towards life, he gets his unique feeling of living in harmony with life. This harmony of life produced China's greatest poems. He was born and belongs to the world, so his conclusion is not to escape from life, but to "face a beautiful day alone, or plant a stick and reap the seeds." Tao Yuanming just returned to his own country and the arms of his family. The result was harmony rather than rebellion.
Thanks to the Peach Blossom Garden, we also know that humanity and normality are the most precious. I also know that many things "can't be a brother, can't be a brother", and I also know that "it's better to go home, it's better to go home!" To this end, we should sincerely thank Tao Yuanming, a great philosopher.
