Tao Yuanming's description of scenery does not pursue the shape of the object and the twists and turns of the plot, but expresses feelings higher than the world through what everyone can see and ordinary things, and writes the truth that people may not understand. Tao's poems focus on writing the mind, writing the mind that is integrated with the scenery, and writing through life.
He doesn't care if he looks like it, but writes a world in his mind. Shi Tao's poems are based on things, landscapes, emotions and rationality.
The new seedlings spreading their wings under the south wind, the moon returning from weeding with him, the smoke rising from the kitchen chimney, Chun Yan who has returned to the lair of a deserted house, the dark forest in front of a midsummer hall and muddy wine in a pot, as well as the pine trees, autumn chrysanthemums, solitary clouds and birds that often appear in his works are all unusual things. They are not only objective, but also reflect the poet's subjective feelings and personality, which are both concrete and conceptual.
