Natural simplicity is Tao Yuanming's constant interest in life, and it is also the overall artistic feature of his poems. He recorded his inner world frankly and sincerely with the language of inner monologue and line drawing. There is no magnificent language, no tortuous structure and no so-called eloquent momentum in the poem. However, like a spring rain, every word moistens the hearts of readers. Moreover, because of his lofty personality and profound experience of life, when he wrote them without carving a stroke, they were very infectious and did not appear artificial, just like life itself. In the past, most poets paid attention to national affairs, and poetry was also a major national theme. Only Tao Yuanming chose the common "vulgar things" to describe the lives of ordinary people, and he also focused on the state of mind to understand the state of mind of life and official career. For example, the images that often appear in poetry, such as "Song Qing", "Autumn Chrysanthemum", "Lonely Cloud" and "Bird", are all too common. They are the objective images and carriers of the poet's subjective feelings.
Second, the poeticization of daily life.
When describing scenery, Tao Yuanming does not pursue the shape of objects, but expresses his feelings above the world through ordinary things in life. Common "drinking", "chrysanthemum" and "lonely cloud" in daily life have all formed novel and unique images in Tao Yuanming's works.
Only Tao Yuanming can experience the deep taste of wine and the true meaning of life when drinking. Wine is closely related to his life and literature. There are 20 poems in his "Drinking" group. Among them, entertaining poems and drinking to drown one's sorrows have become a medium of Tao Yuanming's artistic life, which often helps him to forget things and things with wine. After Tao Yuanming, drinking and writing poems became an important part of recluse life, and poetic wine was an important symbol of recluse literature. For example, Liu Ling was addicted to alcohol on his birthday, Ruan Ji was drunk and put on airs, and wrote a hundred poems about fighting wine. Su Dongpo said that "drunken breast and gallbladder are still in business", and Tang Yin said that "when you wake up, you just sit in front of flowers, and when you are drunk, you will fall asleep". Up to now, it is still an important artistic method to describe people's worries and depression with wine in China and even Oriental literature.
Chrysanthemum, Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums, appreciates chrysanthemums and sings chrysanthemums, and often takes chrysanthemums as his own environment. There is even homemade chrysanthemum wine. He combined chrysanthemum with wine, which not only satisfied his appetite, but also promoted the sublimation of his spirit. Such as "drinking? Seven: "Autumn chrysanthemum has a good color. Show your English. Forgotten things, away from my legacy. "People revere him as the flower god of September Chrysanthemum, and he almost made Chrysanthemum his own incarnation, becoming a unique image symbolizing lofty sentiments in China literature, thus making Chrysanthemum one of the' Four Gentlemen' written by China literati.
Lonely cloud, Tao Yuanming's life is lonely. His poem "All ethnic groups have their own support, and lonely clouds come alone" is a confession of a lonely person. For thousands of years, lonely clouds have become an important image for literati to express their lonely feelings in poetry and painting.
Third, the blending of situational factors.
Tao Yuanming's poems are the unity of emotion, scenery and reason, full of artistic conception, interest and rationality. Poets often integrate their feelings and life ideals into various situations, and on the premise of unity of form and spirit, they focus on freehand brushwork, so that the object can reach a personalized realm and be deeply interesting. As Su Dongpo said: "At first glance, if you are slow, it is interesting to cook." (Cold Zhai Night Talk) integrates emotion, scenery and reason, which gives readers a rich and profound aesthetic feeling, not only for Jingyue people, but also for the police. Another example is the first song of "Returning to the Garden": "There are more than ten acres of square houses and eight or nine thatched houses. Willow trees cover the eaves, and peach trees cover Li Lieman in front of the hospital. This is a distant village, and there is smoke in the Yiyi market. " The poet outlined the simplicity and beauty of his residence with simple pen and ink, making the whole picture leisurely, empty, quiet and peaceful. Tao Yuanming takes this as the opposite of the dirty and noisy officialdom-"the cage" to express his social ideal and life concept. "Nature" in the ending sentence refers to both natural environment and natural life. Once ordinary things are absorbed into his works, they are integrated with his strong subjective color and become a kind of "humanized nature". Here, the poet's unwilling interest and sentiment add vitality to nature, which is the perfect combination of personality beauty and natural beauty.
Fourth, the strategy of seeing the police honestly.
Tao Yuanming's poems are the unity of natural plainness and mellow beauty, both plain and natural mellow. This artistic feature is closely related to his own life experience, personality and mood. It is the simple rural scenery and ordinary daily life that make him develop a quiet character. He is "quiet and quiet, and does not admire Li Rong", although "building a house is based on human feelings" and "his heart is far from self-prejudice". The poet expressed these dull contents and feelings with simple language and simple painting, saying that "there is no carving mark in the chest". Tao Yuanming's poem "Light" is neither light nor dry; It is a lasting appeal and a faint taste. His poems are rarely decorated with exaggerated seaweed and rarely use allusions. They are written in simple and plain peasant dialects and describe the daily life of poor peasants. When mulberry, hemp, chicken, dog, bean sprouts and weeds, which are rare in previous poems, are added to his poems, they are full of poetic flavor. This lightness can be said to imply brilliance in plainness, but it is difficult to hide charm in simplicity. It is a perfect artistic realm, with skill but no trace.
