In addition to traditional Confucianism, it is also deeply influenced by Taoism. Tao's poems are "profound and difficult to refine", and are naive and natural. He is the spiritual home of China scholar-officials. He does not bend over for five buckets of rice, and becomes a fortress of the intellectual world of scholar-officials. And plain nature has become a lofty artistic position in their hearts.
Chrysanthemum and wine became the symbols of Tao Yuanming. What he pursues is the realm of wine-brewed things, I forgot; And chrysanthemum has become his incarnation, symbolizing deep affection and far-reaching purpose. In addition to these two, there is a "lonely cloud". His poem is a confession of a lonely man. His poems poeticize daily life, blend scenes, warn in plain, and see beauty in simplicity.

The history of pastoral poetry;
As the two peaks of Chinese poetry before Qin and Han Dynasties, The Book of Songs and Songs of the South contain a large number of descriptions of natural scenery, such as Guanju, Peach Blossom (The Book of Songs), Mint and Songs of the South, which are either media or objects of comparison, and have no aesthetic value in themselves.
Such as: "I have been there, Yangliuyiyi; Today I think of it, it's raining, it's raining, it's raining in the autumn wind, and it's raining in the leaves of Dongting Lake. These beautiful sentences only appear as the background of personnel activities and play the role of art media, not an independent aesthetic object. In the long years that The Book of Songs and Songs of the South have passed, no poem is dedicated to describing the natural landscape.
For hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, there have been many descriptions of natural scenery in Yuefu five-character poems, especially in Ci Fu. It was only during the Jian 'an period at the end of the Han Dynasty that Cao Cao wrote a poem "Watching the Sea", which was the last performance of the Song Dynasty and presented a complete landscape movement for the poetry circle before the Han Dynasty. Before Wei and Jin Dynasties, the contents of Chinese poems were all related to human existence, desire, politics and war, and the natural scenery was unknown.
