What is the meaning of "Dongli" under the chrysanthemum-picking Dongli? Why do poets love to use these two words?

Tao Yuanming's poems often appear? Dongli? This word, such as picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, is well known. Dongli? At first, it refers to Dongli. Later, as Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems became more and more famous, everyone compared Dongli to Tao Yuanming's carefree and quiet state of mind, which is a beautiful image. Later poets, whether Du Fu or Bai Juyi, used Dongli to describe a secluded state, but each poet lived in a different situation, but in the final analysis, Dongli was a kind of seclusion.

First, Tao Yuanming's Dongli, a secluded state of mind, everyone knows that Tao Yuanming was the most famous poet in Wei and Jin Dynasties. He was the creator of pastoral poetry, which was unprecedented at that time. Tao Yuanming can carry forward the pastoral school because he lives in seclusion and his peach blossom garden is also very attractive. Tao Yuanming didn't like infighting in the imperial court and didn't want to go with the flow all his life, so he was frustrated all his life.

Second, both Bai Juyi and Du Fu like to use Dongli to describe the days of seclusion. Even if they lived in seclusion, Tao Yuanming didn't take it to heart at all. He called his seclusion Dongli, tied chrysanthemums with Dongli, and formed a seclusion life dominated by chrysanthemums, but Tao Yuanming was not painful, and he enjoyed this seclusion life. Bai Juyi once thought of him with shame when he described Dongli. Dongli? What is described below is a sad atmosphere and infinite grief, so Bai Juyi's seclusion is not as happy as Tao Yuanming's, but a relatively depressed seclusion.

Therefore, if Tao Yuanming is the best poet to describe Dongli, he tells people his carefree psychology through a very positive description of seclusion. So Tao Yuanming is a person who really enjoys seclusion. He doesn't think seclusion is depressing.
