"Pastoral" has the following meanings:
1, home and hometown. "My eyes are tired and I am different, and my heart is full of mountains and rivers." Tao Yuanming lived at the foot of Lushan Mountain in Xunyang Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) since childhood. He loves it not only because of its beautiful scenery, but more importantly, it is his hometown, not a strange "strange" place. He can enjoy his family happiness as much as possible by caring for his relatives, being friends with his brothers, traveling far and wide, having sex with young children, persuading the farmhouse to face the situation and attracting chickens to the near future. 2. A secluded place relative to officialdom and secularity. "Jingyuan is good, and the world is good." The rural environment is simple and quiet, without the noise of the city and the fame and fortune pursued by ordinary people. Because of his disgust and disdain for secular life and etiquette of famous religions, he chose "garden" and "seclusion for ambition" (The Analects of Confucius).
3. Cultivate your own land. He is not ashamed of his efforts, but proud of his official career. After returning as an official, he even "did nothing but swim to Lushan Mountain" (Biography of the Hermit in the Book of Jin), calling himself an "old farmer". He tasted the pure beauty of cultivated land from ordinary rural areas. 4. The nature of physical and mental home. He is closely related to nature.
"It's true: the more innocent and beautiful the mind is, the closer it is to other lucky lives called soulless." [2] Birds, fish, pine, hedgehog, kitchen smoke, new seedlings, turbid wine and Qingjian are all his intimate friends, and his feelings for everything have a kind of * * * sound. He is not a bystander, an admirer, a passer-by, a possessor or a vassal. He is a member of nature, completely naturalized. 5. An ideal paradise. The "small country and few people" society described in Laozi: "I am willing to eat, dress beautifully, live in peace and enjoy customs."
Ge Hong in the Western Jin Dynasty wrote "Bao Puzi's External Treasures": "There were no princes and ministers in ancient times. Borrow water from the well, plow the fields and eat, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. If you don't care, you will be complacent. " A paradise on earth without monarch, exploitation, self-sufficiency, freedom and equality is the beautiful wish of the ancient working people in China for peaceful labor and a happy society, and their pursuit of an ideal agricultural society. Zhi Tao's Peach Blossom Garden further describes and perfects this ideal. [3] In short, pastoral is the support of Tao's life and the spiritual pillar.
He often describes ordinary things and life scenes in rural areas, such as cottages, chickens and dogs, bean sprouts and Sang Ma. These ordinary things that others are used to seeing come alive in his works, blend in with me, and have a strong aesthetic feeling in haste and tranquility. "There are more than ten acres of square houses and eight or nine huts. Willow trees cover the eaves, and peach trees cover Li Lieman in front of the hospital. The neighboring village of the neighboring village is faintly visible, and there is smoke in the village.
Several dogs barked in the alley, and the mulberry tree was barked by a rooster. "This is the great beauty of nature-"element ",which is also Tao's aesthetic pursuit. But many people turn a deaf ear to it, fail to find its beauty, or don't think it is beautiful at all, because they lack the aesthetic potential of "Su", and the most fundamental thing is Tao Yuanming's love for all things in nature.
