Tao Yuanming worked as a small official for several years, then resigned and went home. Since then, seclusion and rural life are the main theme of Tao Yuanming's poems. Metaphysical poetry prevailed in the Jin Dynasty, and its ideological content was empty and narrow, superficial and boring. Tao's poems, on the other hand, sprang up suddenly, blowing a fresh and refreshing breath to the dull literary world at that time. His poems show the simple taste of rural life and describe the quiet and beautiful rural scenery. His poems describe rural life, eulogize labor and cultivate one's morality, which was not found in previous feudal literature.
