In the voice of "intoxicating" or accusing right and wrong, discredit the same upper class; Or expose the decadent darkness of the world; Or reflect the sinister occupation; Or express the joy of the poet after he quit the officialdom; Or express the poet's grievances in difficulties. The second is poetry. Represented by Miscellaneous Poems 12 and Reading Shan Hai Jing 13. Tao Yuanming inherited the tradition of Ruan Ji and Zuo Si, and showed the anguish of his own ideals and the impossibility of realizing them, as well as the noble quality of caring about current politics and not colluding with the rulers, exposing the darkness of social politics in twists and turns. It is worth noting that pastoral poems contain feelings, and there are also many descriptions of scenery in poems about feelings and history. There is no clear boundary between these two types of poetry. The third is pastoral poetry. This is also his most important achievement, and the number of poems is also the largest. It can be said that he pioneered the pastoral school in the history of literature. Pastoral poems describe rural scenery and rural life in many ways, which can be roughly divided into three aspects: one part shows the tranquility of the countryside and his own carefree mood; The other part sings enthusiastically about agricultural labor and the friendship established with farmers in labor; Some of them showed their poverty in rural areas and their poor lives, expressed their interest in poverty and happiness, and pinned their ideals on their lives.
