Tao Yuanming is the first peasant poet in the history of our country. He has created a large number of literary works with the theme of peasant life and production. Literary historians always call him a hermit poet. Tired of the welcome of the official scarf, he didn't want to go along with the secular and decided to retire.
Xie Lingyun's love for mountains and rivers is a helpless choice. He didn't want to do this, but because of the decline of his official career, he could only console himself by telling his worries to Shanhe. However, the apparent calm can't hide his enthusiasm for politics, so he "has Korea in his heart", just like a lonely goose lost in the group, and he is helpless in every way.
2. The difference between the inheritance and development of metaphysical poetry;
Tao Yuanming inherited and developed metaphysical poems and integrated them into daily life. Starting from this concept, we can guide people's understanding and pursuit of nature and the concept of harmonious unity between man and nature.
Metaphysical poetry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is therefore brewing a new and important thing, which is the bud of landscape poetry. Tao Yuanming's pastoral poetry, in a sense, is also a branch of landscape poetry, which has the same direct relationship with metaphysical poetry.
Xie Lingyun, on the other hand, swept away the dullness of metaphysical poetry, turned landscape description into the main body of poetry, turned metaphysical poetry into landscape poetry and gained new life. His poems first describe the scenery, and then summarize metaphysics. Mountains and rivers are his means to realize morality.
3. Differences between language and rhetoric:
In his description of nature, Xie Lingyun likes to use unfamiliar words to describe things that are rare or difficult for ordinary people to see, so as to show off his erudition and talent. Xie Lingyun is a poet and a famous fu writer. Although the style of editing and distributing in Han Fu has been weakened in his hands, it has not disappeared.
Tao Shi uses a lot of slang, colloquialism and colloquialism, and his language is pure, natural and plain. In Tao poetry, it is difficult to find gorgeous words, gorgeous colors and unfamiliar words. Most of the words selected by Shi Tao are simple and commonly used. These words, which are plain to others, give people a fresh feeling as soon as the poet writes them, and make people feel cordial and natural when reading them.
