The story of Tao Qian.

A. The story of Tao Yuanming

Tao Yuanming resigned from Peng and retired, leading a quiet life of self-cultivation and drinking and writing poems.

Legend has it that one day, a teenager came to him for advice and said, "Mr. Tao, I admire your profound knowledge." I really want to know your wonderful method of reading when you were a teenager. Please advise, the younger generation is grateful. "

Tao Yuanming laughed and said, "How can there be a wonderful learning method? There is only a stupid way, relying on hard work, hard work, progress, and dropping out! "

Seeing that the boy didn't understand what he meant, Tao Yuanming took his hand and walked to the rice field where he was sowing. He pointed to a seedling and said, "You stay here, take a closer look and tell me if it has grown taller?" After watching it for a long time, the young man still didn't see Xiaomiao grow up, so he stood up and said to Tao Yuanming, "I'm not good at it!" "

Tao Yuanming asked, "Are you sure you can't? So, how did the dwarf seedlings become so tall? "

Seeing that the teenager bowed his head and said nothing, Tao Yuanming further led him to say, "In fact, it has been growing, but we can't see it with the naked eye. The same is true of reading and studying. Knowledge is accumulated bit by bit, and sometimes it is not easy for him to notice, but as long as he keeps learning, many a mickle makes a mickle. "

Then, Tao Yuanming pointed to a grindstone by the stream and asked the boy, "Why is that grindstone so concave as a saddle?" "I see," the boy replied casually.

"When was that ground into this?" The boy shook his head.

Tao Yuanming said: "This is what we do every day, sharpening knives and sickles, accumulating over time, year after year, and so is our study. If we don't keep studying, we will owe something every day. "

Tao Yuanming happily wrote: "Diligence is like a seedling in spring. If it is not increased, it will grow stronger day by day;" Dropping out of school is like a whetstone. If you don't see its losses, you lose money every day.

Tan Daoji advised him: "Sages are alive, and if there is no way in the world, they will endure, and if there is a way, they will reach. This child was born in the civilized world. Why do you suffer? " Tao Yuanming replied, "If you are lurking, how dare you look to the sages? You are not as ambitious as you are. "

Tao Yuanming resigned and returned to his hometown for 22 years. He has been living a poor rural life, staying poor and sober, and getting stronger when he is old.

3. When Wang Hong was doing Jiangzhou secretariat, Tao Yuanming picked a handful of chrysanthemums in Dongli on the Double Ninth Festival and sat next to Dongli. After a while, Tao Yuanming saw a man in white coming. It turned out that Wang Hong, the secretariat, brought him wine. Yuan Ming immediately had a drink and came home drunk.

5. When making Peng, he didn't have the style of Du Like's tour at that time, and simply said, "How can I bend over to the children in the village for five dou of rice!" Later, he angrily resigned and retired, ending his official career and never coming back.

6. According to legend, Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion at the foot of Lushan Mountain after abandoning his official position. He entertains himself every day, works at sunrise, rests at sunset, cultivates land and eats, digs wells and drinks. Live a leisurely pastoral life.

At this time, Tao Yuanming's new wife, Zhai Shi, was a good farmer and had a bumper harvest of grain every year. Therefore, Tao Yuanming has a drink again. In his spare time, he and a group of friends went to Tiger Claw Cliff at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain, two miles away.

7. One year on the Double Ninth Festival, he (Tao Yuanming) was enjoying chrysanthemums under the fence in the east of his home. When he played the piano and sang, he broke through the occasional alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, he had to walk slowly among chrysanthemums, picked many chrysanthemums and sat by the fence next to the house.

Suddenly I looked up and saw a man in white with wine on him. I didn't know until I asked him that he was a wine messenger sent by Wang Hong, the secretariat of Jiangzhou. It turned out that the imperial court repeatedly tried to recruit Tao Yuanming as an official, but he refused. Wang Hong wanted to get to know him and sent wine to Tao Yuanming many times.

This time, Tao Yuanming saw the joy of wine and immediately opened the jar to drink among the flowers. He got as drunk as a fiddler and sang a famous poem "Living in September".

Tao Yuanming started his career at the age of twenty. During his career as an official for as long as 13 years, he successively served as Jiangzhou Drinking Festival, Zhenjun Joining the Army and pengze county Order.

Tao Yuanming laughed and said, "How can there be a wonderful learning method? There is only a stupid way, relying on hard work, hard work, progress, and dropping out! "

Tao Yuanming asked, "Are you sure you can't? So, how did the dwarf seedlings become so tall? "

1 1. When pengze county ordered, Tao Yuanming ordered all his men to plant glutinous rice in the county public land to make wine. He said, "Now I can often get drunk because of alcohol." But his wife insisted on planting japonica rice, and later she wanted to plant 150 mu of glutinous rice and 50 mu of japonica rice.

12, Tao Yuanming fell in love with chrysanthemums and opened a flower garden in the East Garden, which was specially used to cultivate chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums made by Yuan Ming are vigorous and powerful, with bright branches.

What's even more amazing is that chrysanthemums generally bloom in spring and summer, and in autumn, in a well-known chrysanthemum garden, chrysanthemums are in full bloom almost all year round, one after another, which can be said to last forever and the four seasons are like autumn.

Whenever the autumn wind gathers, the chrysanthemums in the East Garden compete to open, with yellow and white flowers and green and red flowers, attracting bees and butterflies all over the garden. Some admirers gave Yuan Ming another nickname, honorably calling him "Juxian", while others secretly called him "Ju Chi".

13, 1000 yuan Ming was smart since he was a child and never forgot to read. He is calm and calm, and his parents regard him as the apple of their eye and personally guide him. At the age of eight or nine, he was able to read poetry and understand The Analects.

The Jin Dynasty abandoned Taihe for five years (AD 370), and when Yuan and Ming were six years old, his father Tao Min was made a vassal by Huan Wen, a general of the Western Regions. He and his sister went to Huan Wen with their parents to levy a resident aunt in the Western Regions (now Dangtu, Anhui Province), and later moved to the satrap post of Ancheng (now Anfu, Jiangxi Province) where their father was appointed, where they practiced martial arts and lived a carefree childhood.

He often encourages himself with the example that his great-grandfather Tao Kan made unremitting efforts and finally made contributions to become a pillar of the country.

Every morning, chickens crow, practice martial arts and swords, and study by candlelight until midnight at night. By the time he was seventeen or eighteen, he was already a highly skilled and knowledgeable person.

When Tao Yuanming was young, he planted five willows in front of the house where he lived. He often studies in Liu Yin, reads happy places and even forgets to eat. When someone is sad, he drinks to drown his sorrows.

It doesn't matter if the family is poor and has no money to buy wine. We have friends to see them off. So, just drink, get drunk, sleep, wake up, take a walk and walk around the yard. What is his yard like? The broken walls are covered with weeds, and the green grass is covered with golden sunshine.

A breeze blew up his shabby clothes. Hungry, look at the bowl, the bowl is empty; Look at this pot. It's also empty. Although the manor is broken and often goes hungry, his mood is happy.

H. Tao Yuanming's short stories

When I was a child, my family declined. When I was nine years old, I lost my father and lived alone with my mother and sister. Orphans and widows. His mother is Meng Jia's daughter, and Meng Jia is Tao Kan's son-in-law, that is, his parents are cousins. Meng Jia is a contemporary celebrity. "If you don't agree, you won't boast, and you will never feel happy." . Good wine, more without chaos; As for forgetting pride, no one. "(Tao Yuanming, western star, was gold &; ampere

"Biography of Commander Shi Meng" records that "many people follow their ancestors." In the future, his personality and accomplishment will largely be his grandfather's legacy. Grandfather's family has a large collection of books, which provides him with the conditions to read ancient books and understand history. In the Jin Dynasty, the literati took Zhuang and Lao as their ancestors and copied the Six Classics. He not only studied Laozi and Analects of Confucius like ordinary literati, but also studied the Six Classics of Confucianism and other "different books" such as literature, history and mythology. Influenced by the ideological trend of the times and the family environment, he accepted two different thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism, and cultivated two different interests: "pursuing a lofty human goal" and "naturally loving Qiushan". [5] See Nanshan leisurely under the chrysanthemum fence (Cheng Lianou's Chinese painting works)

When Tao Yuanming was a teenager, he had the great ambition of "escaping all over the world with great ambition" ("Miscellaneous Poems"), and he was filial to Emperor Taiyuan for eighteen years (393). With the desire of "helping the people", he made a toast to Wang Ningzhi in Jiangzhou. At that time, the gate valve system was strict, and he was born in a civilian, so he was looked down upon. He felt that he "couldn't stand being an official and turned himself in in a few days" (Biography of Tao Qian in the Book of Jin). After he resigned and went home, the country called him the main book again, and he declined politely. In the fourth year of Long 'an (400 years), Andi went to Jingzhou and joined Huan Xuan as a vassal. At this time, Huan Xuan was controlling the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, eyeing the opportunity to usurp the Eastern Jin regime. Of course, he refused to go with Huan Xuan and be the confidant of the careerist. He wrote in his poem: "How to get as far as Xijing without this." ("Xin Chou left for a night outing in July and returned to Jiangling") has remorse for Huan Xuan. "How can you drown in long-term love?" ("Two Poems of Gengzi at the age of mid-May, from Governor to Ruling the Forest" [2]) issued a deep sigh for being prostrated in people's official life. I. Examples of Tao Yuanming's indifference to fame and fortune

In order to survive, Tao Yuanming first became a small official in the state, but because he didn't like the bad style of officialdom, he quickly resigned and went home. Later, in order to make a living, he also worked in some low-ranking official positions one after another and lived an anonymous life.

Tao Yuanming was an official for the last time in the first year of Yixi (405). That year, Tao Yuanming, who had passed the "year of no doubt" (4 1 year old), was persuaded by his friends to serve as Pengze county magistrate again. On one occasion, the county sent Du You to understand the situation.

Someone told Tao Yuanming that those people were sent from above, so they should dress neatly and greet them respectfully. Hearing this, Tao Yuanming sighed: "I don't want to be humble enough to pay attention to these guys for the five salaries of a small county magistrate."

Say that finish, just quit his official position and went home. Tao Yuanming became Pengze county magistrate, but it was only more than eighty days. He left his job this time and left the officialdom forever. After that, he took part in agricultural labor while studying as a writer.

Later, due to the continuous disaster of farmland, the house was burned down and the family situation deteriorated. But he didn't want to be an official any more, and even refused to accept the rice and meat sent by Jiangzhou assassins. The court once called him a writer, but he refused.

(9) Extended reading of Tao Qian's story:

Tao Yuanming's life:

Tao Yuanming was a famous poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming is also known as Tao Qian. His word is lyna, and he gave himself a nickname "Mr.56". Tao Yuanming lived in poverty in his early years. Although his father was still rich, he fell into poverty after his father died.

Since then, I have been running for a living. Tao Yuanming started his official career at the age of 20, but in his official career, Tao Yuanming has been stopping and going, often resigning to go home for a while and then coming back.

This may be related to Confucianism and Taoism in his character. Tao Yuanming loves reading since he was a child. He likes reading both Confucian classics and Taoist treasures, so there are lingering traces of Confucianism and Taoism in his thoughts.

He wants to be an official and go home to live in seclusion, so his career has been going on and off. It was not until 405 AD that Tao Yuanming accepted Peng's post, and finally turned his disappointment with officialdom into practical action.

Just over 80 days after taking office, Tao Yuanming resigned and never held any post again. The last imperial court was very dark, and it was Tao Yuanming who saw through this darkness and understood that the people in the system were hopelessly decadent.

He doesn't want to go with the flow like these people. He doesn't want to lower his noble head for five measures of rice. During Tao Yuanming's seclusion, many people advised him to be an official, but he refused.

At this time, Tao Yuanming had clearly seen his life direction, so he made a decision and never changed it at will. When people talk about Tao Yuanming, they often describe him as noble and secluded, which is also the realm he pursues.

After Tao Yuanming's death, his close friend Yan Yanzhi wrote the Poem of Tao Zheng for him, and named posthumous title as the "Quiet Festival". Yan Yanzhi praised Tao Yuanming's character and integrity in his obituary, but did not fully affirm his literary achievements.

Tao Yuanming's position in the history of China literature has not been fully affirmed and recognized in the decades after his death. Xiao Tong, Prince Zhaoming of Liang Dynasty, attached great importance to Tao Yuanming's poems and couldn't put it down. Xiao Tong personally compiled, prefaced and biographied Tao Yuanming.

The Collection of Tao Yuanming is the first collection of literary works by scholars in the history of China literature, which is of great significance. Xiao Tong praised "his prose is not crowded, his words are brilliant, his ups and downs are obvious, he is superior to others, and his cadence is as bright as Beijing".

J. Ask three stories about Tao Yuanming

That year, Tao Yuanming, who had passed the age of no doubt, once again served as Pengze County Magistrate. Eighty-one days after his arrival, he met Du You to investigate official business. Du You Liu Yun was fierce and greedy, and asked for bribes from the counties under his jurisdiction, but they all went home full, otherwise they would plant. The county magistrate said, "You should dress neatly, prepare gifts and greet Du You respectfully." Tao Yuanming sighed, "How can I bow down to the children in the village for five buckets of rice?" How can I humbly bribe these little people for the five barrels of salary of the county magistrate? Say that finish, hang the crown, resign and return to China. Since then, during his study, he has been working in Longmu.

Source: The Book of Jin? Biography of Tao Qian: "I sigh:' Five bushels of rice can't bend your back, and boxing is the evil in the village! "

Interpretation of five buckets of rice: the salary of the county magistrate in the Jin Dynasty refers to the meager salary; Bend down: Bend down to salute, which means bending down to salute others. Metaphor is lofty, spineless and unmoved by fortune.

Tao Yuanming and Chrysanthemum:

Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has an indissoluble bond with chrysanthemum. Tao Yuanming wrote many poems about chrysanthemums, the most famous of which is "Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely seeing Nanshan", "Autumn chrysanthemums are beautiful in color, showing their beauty, forgetting things and leaving me." Chrysanthemum is the personification of personality for Tao Yuanming. Poets naturally associate the elegant and indifferent image of chrysanthemum with their different public interests, so that later generations regard chrysanthemum as a symbol of gentleman's festival and literati's exercise.

Inscription in the humble room: "Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone."

Peach Blossom Garden:

Tao Yuanming lived in a war-torn environment in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty. After middle age, he lived in seclusion in the countryside for a long time. He has a profound understanding of the reality in the countryside and a personal experience of the people's wishes, so he conceived his own ideal society-Xanadu. In this society, there is no oppression, exploitation and turmoil; Everyone takes part in what they can, the elderly and children live happily, and people are extremely harmonious and friendly.

Tao Yuanming's fiction of this story shows his yearning for a beautiful rural society. But the author clearly sees that such an ideal society could not be realized under the conditions at that time.

Therefore, in this article, he not only showed this ideal social specimen through the fisherman's eyes, but also denied its existence through the fisherman's repeated search-at least not in this real world. If you want to find it, you can only hold it high. That's what the poem "Peach Blossom Spring" said at the end: "I would like to whisper and hold high to find my deed". But this is just a will. Who can do that? From this perspective, it seems that no one "cares" after Liu Ziji, which also expresses the author's helpless regret.
