Where to go: officialdom.
Where to go: the countryside.
From: Tao Yuanming [Wei and Jin Dynasties], Return to the Garden, Part One.
Original: No rhyme, naturally love Qiushan. I sneaked into the official career network and have been away from the game for more than ten years. Birds in cages are often attached to the forests of the past, and fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past. I want to open up wasteland in Minamino and keep my humility to the fields. The house is surrounded by about ten acres of land, thatched cottages. Willow trees cover the eaves, and peach trees cover Li Lieman in front of the hospital. The neighboring village of the neighboring village is faintly visible, and there is smoke in the village. Several dogs barked in the alley, and the mulberry tree was barked by a rooster. Trapped in a cage without freedom for a long time, I finally returned to the forest today.
Interpretation: When I was young, I didn't follow the custom. It is my nature to love nature. I fell into the trap of official career and left the countryside for more than ten years in a blink of an eye. Birds in cages often miss the mountains of the past, while fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past. I would like to reclaim wasteland in the southern wilderness, keep my simplicity and return to farming. There are more than ten acres of land around the house in Fiona Fang, and there are 89 huts and huts.
The shade of elm willow covered the back eaves of the house, and peaches and Li Lie filled the front yard in spring. The neighboring village in the distance is faintly visible, and the smoke from the kitchen is floating in the village. There were several dog barks in the deep lane, and a rooster kept crowing on the top of the mulberry tree. There is no such noise in the yard, and the quiet room is full of comfort and leisure. Trapped in a cage for a long time without freedom, I finally returned to Forest Mountain today.

Creation background
Tao Yuanming became an official at the age of 29 and has been an official for thirteen years. He always hates officialdom and yearns for the countryside. In the first year of Yixi (405), he was forty-one, and became an official for the last time. After more than eighty days, Pengze County ordered him to resign and go home. I never came out to be an official again. According to Tao Qian Biography of Song Dynasty and Tao Yuanming Biography of Xiao Tong, Tao Yuanming retired out of dissatisfaction with decadent reality. At that time, the county tour visited Pengze, and officials asked him to greet him with a belt to show his respect.
He said angrily, "I don't want to bend over to the children in the village for five buckets of rice!" " "Tao Yuanming loves freedom by nature, and at that time, the official atmosphere was extremely corrupt, flattering his superiors, arrogant, unruly, and shameful. An upright scholar had no place in the political society at that time, let alone realize his ideals and ambitions.
After thirteen years of twists and turns, Tao Yuanming finally realized this completely. The fundamental opposition between Tao Yuanming's character and political society doomed his ultimate choice-seclusion. From then on, he ended his life of seclusion and being an official and lived in seclusion in the countryside. After coming back, I wrote a group of poems entitled "Returning to the Garden".
The most prominent thing in this poem is to describe the scenery-to describe the scenery of the garden, and to cross the far and near scenery by line drawing, which is vivid and colorful; Secondly, antithetical sentences are used in many places in the poem, such as: "On the eaves behind the shade, Luo tang qian." There is also the use of contrast techniques to compare "dust net", "cage" and "garden house", thus highlighting the poet's aversion to officialdom and love for nature; No matter what language is clear and fresh, it is as simple as vernacular Chinese.
This poem presents a complete artistic conception, and the language of the poem completely serves to present this artistic conception, without seeking superficial beauty, so the poem appears natural. In short, this is the nature achieved through artistic pursuit and artistic efforts.
