What kind of thoughts and feelings did Tao Yuanming express in the poem "Returning to the Pastoral Residence"?
Five Homecoming Poems was written in 406, the year after Tao Yuanming was retired by Peng Qiguan, when the poet was forty-two years old. Tao Yuanming, who has only been a magistrate of Pengze County for more than 80 days, can't stand the dirty and secular shackles of officialdom. He resolutely resigned and retired, devoted himself to farming and never became an official again. The relaxed feeling of leaving the official career, the joy of returning to nature, and the quiet pastoral, simple communication and farming experience make this group of poems become outstanding pastoral poems, and also reflect Tao Yuanming's simple, quiet and broad-minded style.
