Tao's poems are unique and innovative in poetry theme, language tempering and expression techniques. His pastoral poems such as Returning to the Garden are the first of its kind.
The plain farming, pastoral scenery and tranquil mood in Tao's poems are all expressed through simple and natural language. The poet shows the meaning and significance of this charm by summarizing the art that fewer wins more.
Extended data:
Tao Yuanming's description of the scenery in his poems is not the same, nor is it rich in color. In narrative, we don't pay attention to the integrity of the plot and the story of faltering, but only write about what we have seen and ordinary things, but express our true feelings about the world and life. He has no intention of accurately and vividly shaping mountains and rivers, but only wants to express a world in his heart.
In his works, the towering Nanshan, chrysanthemums blooming in the wild, lotus hoes returning in the moonlight, kitchen smoke rising, trees in front of the hall full of shade in summer, and pines, grasses and birds often appearing in poems all bear the poet's subjective feelings and reflect the poet's personality, which is both a concrete image and a rational light, such as drinking.
Original text:
Decline and glory are uncertain, and each other is more * * *.
Born less in Gua Tian, rather like Dongling.
Both hot and cold have metabolism, and that's human nature.
If a person understands his meeting, his death will no longer be suspected.
Suddenly I have a bottle of wine, and I am happy every day and night.
Decline and glory are not fixed, but mutual. Mr Shao is in Gua Tian, isn't he like Dongling? Both hot and cold have metabolism, and people's minds are always like this. An optimist knows he will, and I no longer doubt it. Suddenly I gave a glass of wine and drank it day and night.
