● Original text
In Shanxi, Taiyuan and the Central Plains, I made a living by fishing, wandered along the stream, forgot the distance of the road, and suddenly met the peach blossom forest. Walking along the shore for hundreds of steps, there are no miscellaneous trees in the middle, the grass is delicious, and English is very colorful. Fishermen are very different. If you go any further, you will want to be poor. When the forest is short of water, there are mountains. The mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Leave the ship and enter through the mouth.
Only when you are narrow-minded at first can you understand people; Take a few steps and you will be suddenly enlightened. The land is flat and spacious, so is the house. There are fertile fields, beautiful pools, mulberry and bamboo, buildings and traffic, and chickens and dogs hear about each other. Among them, farming, men and women dressed, known as outsiders; The yellow hair hangs low and enjoys itself. Seeing the fisherman, he was startled, asked what he had never said, and answered. You have to go home and set up wine to kill chickens for dinner. When the village heard about this man, Xian came to inquire. Since Master Yun avoided the chaos of Qin Dynasty, he led his wife to this desperate situation and never came back. So I separated from outsiders. You ask what this world is, and I don't know if there are any Han Chinese, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties. This man speaks every word with a sigh. The others went home, eating and drinking. Stop for a few days and resign. There is a saying in China: "The humanity of outsiders is not satisfactory."
Help the road when you get off the boat, and you are determined everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou, said so. The satrap sent someone to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he lost his way. Liu Ziji, a noble family, heard about it and gladly did it. If you fail, you will find the disease. Nobody took care of it after that.
● Background introduction
Tao Yuanming (365 ~ 427) was a poet, lyricist and essayist in Jin and Song Dynasties. A latent and vivid figure, a private and quiet festival. Xunyang Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) was born. Tao poetry follows the simple style of Wei and Jin poetry and enters a more refined situation, like a milestone, marking the height that simple songs and poems can reach. Tao Yuanming is also a pioneer of innovation. He successfully promoted "nature" to the realm of beauty; Transforming Hyunri in the interpretation of metaphysical poems into philosophy in daily life; It combines poetry with daily life and creates a new theme of pastoral poetry.
The story of Taohuayuan is similar to other fairyland stories, describing a beautiful fairyland. However, it should be emphasized that the ideal model provided by Tao Yuanming has its particularity: in fact, ordinary people, a group of asylum seekers, rather than immortals, live there, but they retain some natural innocence more than the world; Their peace, tranquility and happiness are all obtained through their own labor. Many ancient fairy tales are about immortality and treasure. There is neither immortality nor treasure in the Peach Blossom Garden, only a scene of farming. At the beginning of his retirement, Tao Yuanming only thought about his personal advance and retreat. When he wrote Peach Blossom Spring, he was not limited to individuals, but thought about the way out of the whole society and the happiness of the broad masses of people. This step of Tao Yuanming is related to years of hardships and poor life experiences. Although the Peach Blossom Garden is just an illusion, it is very valuable to put forward this illusion.
