Therefore, it is of pioneering significance in the history of literature. Tao Yuanming eulogized the beautiful and simple rural scenery and praised the ordinary working life in simple and clear language. Zhu Guangqian's Poetics commented on Tao Yuanming's poems in this way: "Tao Yuanming's position among China poets is very lofty. Can be compared with him, before only Qu Yuan, after only Du Fu. Qu Yuan is more depressed than him, Du Fu is broader and more changeable than him, but not as mellow and refined as him. "

" [3] It can be seen that Wang Wei's position in the poetry circle in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
