Why does the theme of Tao Yuanming's Return to Xi have eternal vitality?

From the images of "returning birds" and "autumn" in Gui Xi Ci, we can more concretely feel that Tao Yuanming's poems have eternal vitality. The most striking image in Tao Yuanming's poems is the image of "returning birds", which symbolizes Tao Yuanming's seclusion. By placing his heart on birds, he established an aesthetic realm of yearning for "the naturalization of human beings", which reflected his pursuit of simple natural philosophy. Tao Yuanming's poems, for him, are as calm and fresh as autumn. In his poems, the return of birds is the main image, and he seeks his own spiritual home.

The author's own attitude is: "wealth is not my wish, and the land of emperors cannot be expected", and he doesn't want to run for glory or take medicine for longevity; What he yearns for is: "when you have a beautiful day, you can go alone or plant a stick." Deng and Lin wrote poems on a beautiful day, traveling alone; Weeding the grass and cultivating the soil, devoted to farming and mulberry; Whistling in the mountains, singing poems in the water; It is enough to be a volunteer for life.

Planting its staff and cultivating it, stealing the story of "planting its staff and cultivating it" in The Analects of Confucius. The story of Sun Deng, a hermit in Sumenshan, whistles like the voice of husband and wife. The author uses them to express his interest. Finally, the full text ends with the words "Talking about riding to the end, answering questions from the destiny of love", indicating that life and death will change with it, and everything will follow, and Lotte know life will spend the rest of his life.

This is the author's philosophy and life conclusion. Although it is inevitable to be negative, it is really from the heart and contains painful introspection from vulgar and sinister officialdom. Both sides have a profound experience. Therefore, it is different from the kind of false hermit who talks about Hyunri and pretends to be lofty.
