Tao Yuanming's poems are filled with his pastoral atmosphere. He casually read, "When planting beans in Shannan, the grass is full of beans and the seedlings are sparse." In the morning, you can go home with a shower head, as if you are beyond the world. Tao's poetry is an inheritance point in the history of literature. After Qu Yuan, there has never been a great poet like him for hundreds of years. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people began to reflect on their own situation and think about war, society and human destiny. In that era when celebrities were respected, Tao Yuanming's poems represented "the awakening of people"-people should have a spiritual world, not just living in material conditions. In the following Tang Dynasty, great poets such as Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, Li Bai and Du Fu also found inspiration and drew nutrition from his works. There are many famous works in Tao Yuanming's poems, and the Peach Blossom Garden handed down for thousands of years is the essence of the author's thought and art.

Later, he quit his job, wrote "Come home to Xi" and went home to live a small life. In that era of material scarcity, it was difficult for a person without an official position to survive, and Tao Yuanming had few fields. Tao Yuanming, on the other hand, transcended these sufferings with his extraordinary broadmindedness and freedom. Although he often borrows rice to cook, he still lives happily-at least he thinks so. At first, Tao Yuanming just enjoyed a leisurely pastoral life alone. Later, after years of hard work and poverty, he wrote The Peach Blossom Garden. Although the poet is hidden in the countryside, he still does not forget the broad masses of people in the society-this complex of dwelling in the world and helping the world may have deeply influenced the later literati. In that troubled times, people's lives were so hard and miserable that they needed a "paradise" to escape from such a life.

It is also natural to let Huang Mao hang low and enjoy himself until he wrote that "humanity is not enough for outsiders" because they came to avoid the world.

This cleverly explains why we can't find this place now, leaving a huge imagination space and infinite charm for future generations. The whole novel is simple and natural, which confirms Su Dongpo's aesthetic evaluation of Tao Yuanming's poems: gorgeous and plain.
