Features of Yuan Haowen's Poems

Excerpt from Thirty Poems written by Hao Wen of Jin Yuan (IV)

Tao Yuanming's poems translated today are plain and natural, giving up delicate and flashy decoration, revealing true and simple beauty and making people read them forever. Tao Yuanming claimed to be from ancient times, but this did not prevent him from still being from A Jin.

Its style of choosing words and creating words is clean and not false, and it is fresh in indifference and peace. As Zhu Zhu's folklore said, "The poems of Yuan and Ming Dynasties are so high that they don't need to be arranged that they naturally flow out of their chests. Dongpo is a piece of rhyme and harmony. Although it seems effortless, it loses its natural interest. " The second sentence is about the expression of his temperament, which is really simple and honest and unpretentious; The meaning of this sentence comes from Huang Tingjian's poem "Farewell to Yang", "The fur is peeling off, only the truth exists". The All-China Federation summed up Tao's poems with the words "nature" and "truth", which is characterized by vivid images and rich words. The second sentence is often used to praise the natural beauty of simple and uneducated works of art.
