What is the positive and negative significance of Tao Yuanming's not bending over for five buckets of rice?

First, the positive significance:

He has enough time and mood to experience nature, the feeling of that D poem and the real life. Living in a temple will inevitably be entangled in worldly things. Not bending over for those five buckets of rice is not only his high score, but also a kind of protection for himself. Yuanming can't be an official, and the experience of the temple is also a sublimation of his life.

According to the ancient literati's ideological tradition of serving officials wholeheartedly, how can they really put down their hearts to write poems and study without experiencing the darkness of officialdom? Therefore, being an official is his opportunity, and giving up being an official is a turning point in his life. Therefore, he initiated the rural life of China literature, broadened the scope of China literature and enriched the content of China literature.

Second, the negative significance:

The disadvantage is that he was down and out all his life, and his literati's living ability was poor. He is also, although there are many representative works, many of them are free and easy, and more are depression and sadness.

Besides, as an intellectual, facing the society, you should face the reality, not bow, not yield, dare to fight, change the bad side, and assume the social responsibility as an intellectual, rather than escape. If everyone escapes, society will only get worse.
