First, "Twenty Drinking Songs"
Twenty Drinking Poems is a group of five-character poems written by Tao Yuanming, a writer from the late Eastern Jin Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty.
These twenty poems take wine as the theme, expressing the author's feelings and views on history, reality and life, expressing the author's dissatisfaction with reality and love for rural life, and fully demonstrating the author's noble and proud moral sentiment and life interest.
The combination of poetry and wine naturally reveals the deep natural state of life and embodies a unique aesthetic realm.

Tao Yuanming's Life and Major Works
First, the life of the characters.
Tao Yuanming's great-grandfather was Tao Kan, and his grandfather Meng Jia was a celebrity in Jin Dynasty. He married Tao Kan's tenth daughter. Grandfather is a satrap (grandfather has two names, either Dai or Mao), and his father is a man who "travels in the clouds and enjoys himself", so the specific deeds cannot be verified. There is also an ordinary sister, Obuchi Ming is three years old, and later married to the Cheng family, so Tao called her Cheng's sister.
As far as his father still has a concubine, Tao Yuanming's initial family background is not too bad. At the age of eight, Tao Yuanming's father died, and his family fortune gradually declined. 12-year-old mother died, and Tao Yuanming later wrote an article recalling this past: "Kindness is too early, fashion is naive. I'm twenty-six years old, and I'm only nine years old.
At the age of twenty, my family was particularly poor, as evidenced by a poem: "When I was weak, my family was poor" ("Meeting Work"). At this time, Tao Yuanming began his career to make a living.
