What is the position of Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems in the history of China literature? Where is the value of poetry? The relationship between poetry and character?

Tao Yuanming is an outstanding poet in the history of China literature. His poems take pastoral life as the theme, creating a new artistic realm of pastoral poetry, making pastoral poetry an important part of poetry after Tang and Song Dynasties. Tao's poems followed the simplicity of Wei and Jin Dynasties and entered a more pure and familiar situation. He succeeded in elevating nature to the realm of beauty. He created a new type of beauty in the artistic conception of China's poems, a kind of diluted beauty, which is extremely mellow and unpretentious. All this is inseparable from his rich life experience. Without the experience of rural life, it is impossible to write these well-known pastoral poems, thus making Tao's pastoral poems establish an immortal position in the history of China literature.

Tao's thought was basically Confucian, but later it was influenced by Taoism to some extent. He had no ambition to save time, but he gave up this ideal after repeated setbacks, but he was able to stick to his ambition and refused to follow the crowd. It's a pity that he finally "entrusted his luck to take advantage". He wanted to conform to his fate and hold an attitude of ignoring the world. After he returned to the field, he took part in some productive labor and got along with farmers on an equal footing, which was an aspect of his ideological progress and played a great role in his literary achievements.

Tao poetry not only opened up a new world of pastoral poetry, but also made great achievements in the art of pastoral poetry. His poetry is a new creation, which poeticizes daily life and finds important significance and lasting poetry in daily life. Before him, Qu Yuan, Cao Cao, Cao Zhi, Ruan Ji and Lu Ji all took national politics as the theme, while Tao took ordinary life as the theme and wrote ordinary things in vernacular, which was poetic.

Tao Yuanming devoted all his talent and energy to the creation of landscape pastoral poetry, and achieved unparalleled achievements, pushing landscape pastoral poetry to the peak at once. A Qing poet said, "Tao's poems are magnificent, and one of them is profound and simple, so you can't go everywhere. The founder of the Tang Dynasty has his own innocence, the Mengshan people have his leisure, the Chu Taizu has his simplicity, Wei has his own conflicts, and Cao has his own integrity, all of which are close to learning. " It can be seen that the pastoral poets in the Tang Dynasty absorbed some advantages from Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems, but they could not surpass Tao Yuanming on the whole.

Today, Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems still have irreplaceable aesthetic value and attract the attention of modern people.

Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems, when read, are dull at first, and then recited, have the feeling of "plain and strange, dry and gorgeous". The poet has achieved high attainments in refining and using language. He integrated his love for nature and rural life into his own poems, which made people feel as if they were there, walking in the natural and quiet countryside and giving people endless reverie. This is the so-called "seemingly extraordinary rise" such as "drinking" V:

"Building a house should be people-oriented, without horses and chariots. Ask what you can do, your heart is far from self-prejudice. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely. The mountains are getting better every day, and the birds are back. There is real meaning in this, and I want to argue. "

This is a portrayal of carefree and happy rural life. Through the text, we see an image of a hermit who "faces the mountain, tucks his knees and sings, picks chrysanthemums under the hedge, smiles proudly and enjoys the moon". Quiet mountains and tired birds ask the poet a question. At this point, the author's mood can't be described in words. Poets don't want to go with the flow, and their desire for nature and rural life can also be expressed. At the same time, we can see that the poet's expression of things and the extension of artistic conception are extraordinary. Several figures show people's attitude towards life, their love for nature, their description of things and their contempt for the world. This is also the unique style of Tao Gong's poems.
