The fifth expansion of Tao Yuanming's drinking

My home is built on a busy road. People live together, but I never pay attention to the noise of cars and horses. Ask me how I can be so free and easy, my mind is natural and quiet, away from the secular, wandering under the east wall. I occasionally look up to enjoy the wonders of Nanshan. Colorful fog lingers in the dusk, and flocks of birds return to the embrace of Xiangyuan Mountain. Stop at Nanshan, this is the real life.

This poem mainly shows the interest of seclusion. After work, the poet drank as drunk as a fiddler. Under the backdrop of sunset glow and under the cover of Shan Lan, he picked chrysanthemums and looked at Nanshan. The whole poem is one of the most popular works in traditional poetry, with profound and eternal feelings and the integration of emotion and reason.

Extended data:

The purpose of the poem is to return to nature. The first step to return to nature is to deny secular values. From ancient times to the present, power, status, wealth and honor are generally the basic objects that people pursue, which is also a socially recognized measure of value.

Although Zhuangzi has long said that all these things are "things", that is, the opposite of the spiritual subject (in modern words, "alienation"), for most people, they can't get rid of them after all. Tao Yuanming seems different.

He just retired from the officialdom, and he knew that in order to get all this, people had to cut corners, put on airs and shamelessly lose all their dignity. He vowed to throw away these "objects" and return to the "truth" of human beings.
