Tao Yuanming was a poet in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty. How much do you know about him? Let me introduce you to the life story of Tao Yuanming. Welcome to read it! Tao Yuanming's life story 1
When he was a teenager (before he was 28)
Tao Yuanming's great-grandfather Tao Kan used to be a fu, and his grandfather and father also worked as officials such as the magistrate. However, Tao Yuanming's father died early. When Yuanming was a teenager, his family fortune had declined, "few and poor." He said: "I am a self-sufficient person, and I am greedy for luck. The gourd ladle is repeatedly smashed, and it is winter. " ("Self-Sacrifice") But although the material life is poor, Tao Yuanming's spiritual life is very rich. He studied the Confucian Six Classics, Laozi and Zhuangzi, and "aspired to escape from all over the world, lost his life in Philip Burkart", which was quite a political ambition of "supporting the monarch to make a career". On the other hand, the water and pastoral scenery of Lushan Mountain also make him love nature. "There is no suitable rhyme, and nature loves Qiushan." "Don't worry about poverty, don't worry about wealth."
during the period of learning to be an official (29-41 years old)
The gate valve system in the Jin Dynasty made "the top grade has no poverty, and the bottom grade has no family." Tao Yuanming could not realize his ambition at all in that era when the ruling class was struggling for power and profit. At the age of 29, he entered the officialdom and became a Jiangzhou wine-offering ceremony, but soon he was unable to help himself and returned home to live in seclusion. Later, he served as a small official several times, not only because he had no reason to display his ambition to help the world, but also because he was "ashamed of his ambition." The last time I served as an official was when Peng Zeling. After more than 8 days as an official, because of the darkness of officialdom, "I can't bow down to the village villain for five buckets of rice" and resign and return to the field.
Returning to the field (42-63 years old)
After returning to the field, Tao Yuanming lived a secluded life in his hometown and personally took part in agricultural labor. I personally wrote the famous article "Biography of Mr. Wuliu" to make my ambition clear. This changed his attitude of despising labor and realized the value of labor to a certain extent. Also in the labor and communication with farmers, I have a cordial feeling for them. In his later years, he lived in poverty and was "hungry until he was old", but he refused to be "eaten by strangers" and refused gifts from dignitaries, showing his ambition to help the poor. Tao Yuanming's life story 2
In 365 AD, a baby was born in Tao Yijia, the grandson of Tao Kan, a fu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang San, a blind fortune-teller, read it and said that this child had extraordinary bones and would become a great instrument. Tao Yi named his son Tao Yuanming.
It goes without saying that childhood classmate Tao Yuanming spent time in such a family. Good preschool education, family education and the great achievements of our ancestors inspired Tao Yuanming in his childhood. He has a high self-esteem, which is the main psychological reason why he later went to be an official in order to help the world, and at the same time refused to bend his back for five buckets of rice.
It's a pity that when Tao Yuanming was nine years old, his father died, and the pillar of the family was gone. The most important thing was that the source of money was gone, leaving only my mother and sister at home. The family lived on empty land and became poor. (I didn't understand it after thinking for a long time. Grandpa is a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the State, grandpa is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Torre is also the secretary of the municipal party committee. It should be Standard & Poor's for several generations. How can you be poor if you sell your real estate, deposits, famous cars and stocks at home and abroad a little? It's amazing. Believe it or not, I was poor anyway, so I had to be fostered with my mother and sister in my grandfather Meng Jia's house (reminds me of Sister Lin, don't cry).
Teacher Lu Xun said, "Did anyone fall into poverty from a well-off family? I thought that on this road, I could probably see the true face of the world." Mr. Cao Xueqin used to be like this, and so is Mr. Tao Yuanming today, not to mention from Dakang to being in trouble. This experience played an important role in the psychological growth of Mr. Tao Yuanming, and a silent boy with a faint sadness in his eyes grew up day by day. (Drop a psychological schoolbag: The imprint of childhood has a great influence on a person's life. )
Tao Yuanming's grandfather, Meng Jia, has long passed away, and it is said that "a good wine is good, and more than one is not chaotic; As for forgetting to be proud, there is no one watching, but it does not prevent this old gentleman from becoming an example for Tao Yuanming's classmates to learn later. Tao Yuanming's life here is also happy, at least he has no worries about food and clothing. His grandfather's family has a lot of books. Tao Yuanming studied hard and read a lot of books, which laid a solid foundation for later becoming a truly great pastoral teacher, Zu Yuanming. Tao Yuanming's life story 3
When he was a child, Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, inherited his father's footsteps and cultivated at home, but he was very studious. Besides planting a good vegetable garden every day, he devoted himself to reading, so his poems and songs were very famous. Not long after, a local magistrate named Wang took office. He was also a lover of poetry. He knew that Tao Yuanming was very famous although he was young, so he wanted to try his knowledge. One day, Tao Yuanming was watering vegetables in his own garden when magistrate Wang came in. Out of courtesy, Tao Yuanming quickly got up and greeted him. Magistrate Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at Tao Yuanming and said, "Is your name Tao Qian?" Tao Yuanming said quickly, "Little people are exactly!"
magistrate Wang sat down, touched the moustache on his mouth with his right hand, admired the words written on Tao Yuanming's desk, and suddenly said to Tao Yuanming, "I heard that you can write poems. Let me have a look. Now I'll make a pair. Will you please be right?" Tao Yuanming said with a smile: "Please go out for the first part!"
magistrate Wang looked around and saw a bed of sunflowers planted in the garden. These sunflowers had just opened, so he had a brainwave and he casually said the first couplet. Young sunflower leaning over branches, small face can know geography? Hearing this, Tao Yuanming knew that the official's words contained distrust and contempt. On the surface, he said young sunflower, but in fact he secretly asked himself, are you so young that you can be familiar with farming in the countryside? So he thought a little and saw bright red lotus buds growing in the lotus pond in front of the court, so he came up with a clever couplet; The new bud is unearthed, and the big brush is familiar with astronomy!
Tao Yuanming's bottom line also has something in it. He means lotus bud on the surface, but actually he means himself. It means that although I am buried in the mud, once unearthed, I can learn about astronomy and geography. When magistrate Wang saw it, he secretly marveled at Tao Yuanming's quick thinking, but he was still unwilling to look down on weakness. He went out again and said, "Children swallow their mouths with words." In addition to saying that Tao Yuanming's tone just now is too big, this couplet is also very clever in words, because "swallowing" is composed of the word "Tiankou", which is very difficult to correct. Tao Yuanming wanted to think, and then made a bottom line; Lian yue: the boss is bitter about the heart of the ambitious.
In this second couplet, Tao Yuanming not only showed that he didn't have a big mouth, but became a success by studying hard. His words are clever, because the word "ambition" is composed of the word "scholar's heart" It happened that the word "Tian Kou" which was neatly compared with the previous one was composed of the word "Tian" and the word "Kou", and the magistrate of a county realized that Tao Yuanming was really knowledgeable and determined to study hard, and he could not help but respect him. He stood up and held his hand tightly with him, and repeatedly praised: "Little brother! Really smart and ambitious, admire! Admire! "
seeing his attitude change, Tao Yuanming also said humbly and sincerely, "Please give me more advice in the future!" After that, I took my own exercise and asked the magistrate for advice. When magistrate Wang took it, it turned out to be a self-deprecating poem. The poem said, "A small building is a shame and a high pillow, and when you are worried, you will make old alliances, call young people to pay their respects, sit and talk about Zen, and the clouds are full of toothpicks. The stars are full of swords, and the marquis is not my intention. I hope that the sea will be peaceful!" After seeing it, magistrate Wang appreciated Tao Yuanming more, and from then on, the two became friends who forgot the year. Tao Yuanming's Life Story 4

Tao Yuanming, a great poet in Jin Dynasty, resigned from Peng Zeling and retired to the countryside, leading a quiet life of self-cultivation, drinking and composing poems.
according to legend, one day, a teenager came to ask him for advice and said, "Mr. Tao, I admire your profound knowledge very much, and I really want to know your wonderful method of reading as a teenager. Please teach me, and the younger generation will be grateful. "
after hearing this, Tao Yuanming laughed and said," Where can we learn magic tricks in the world? Only stupid methods, all by hard work, hard work, progress, drop out of school!
Tao Yuanming saw that the teenager didn't understand what he meant, so he took his hand and went to the rice field where he was planting. He pointed to a seedling and said, "Stay here, take a closer look and tell me if it is growing taller. "After watching for a long time, the young man still didn't see the seedlings grow up, so he stood up and said to Tao Yuanming," I'm not good at it! "
Tao Yuanming asked," Are you really not good at it? So, how did the short seedlings become so tall?
Tao Yuanming, seeing that the boy bowed his head and said nothing, further led him to say, "In fact, it grows all the time, but we can't see it with the naked eye. The same is true for reading and studying. Knowledge is accumulated bit by bit, and sometimes it is not easy for you to notice it, but as long as you study hard, every little makes a mickle.
Then, Tao Yuanming pointed to a grindstone by the stream and asked the boy, "Why is that grindstone concave like a saddle?" "that is ground into this. "The young man freely replied.
"Then on what day did it grind like this?" The boy shook his head.
Tao Yuanming said, "It's because we all sharpen our knives and sickle on it every day, and it's accumulated year after year, and so is learning. If you don't insist on studying, you will owe something every day. "
The teenager suddenly realized that he quickly gave a big gift to Tao Yuanming and said," Thank you for your advice. Students will never ask for any magic tricks again. Please leave a few words for me, which I will always keep in mind.
Tao Yuanming happily wrote: "Diligence is like a seedling that rises in spring, and it will grow stronger every day; Dropping out of school is like sharpening a stone. If you don't see the damage, you will lose money every day. The Story of Tao Yuanming 6
The Story of Tao Yuanming
Tao Yuanming
Tao Yuanming was a writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At the age of twenty-nine, he began to serve as an official, offering wine in Jiangzhou, and soon retired. Later, he successively worked as a town army, joined the army, joined Jianwei and other low-ranking official positions, and lived a life of hiding and being an official. At the age of forty-one, he was re-elected as Peng Zeling. After more than eighty days, he left his post and retired to the countryside.
He was the pioneer of pastoral poetry, and later generations called him "pastoral poet". The pastoral was highly purified and beautified by Tao Yuanming by means of poetry, and became a spiritual refuge in the painful world.
Tao Yuanming is good at integrating profound philosophy into the image of poetry. The language of poetry is simple and natural, and the expression is subtle and euphemistic, so he is called "the pearl jade in Tao's poetry". For example, the poems of "Returning to the Garden House" have a long-standing reputation, which have similar characteristics: writing about rural life, writing about manual labor, and singing about their own ideals, showing the joy of realizing their ideals.
The texts we have studied, such as The Peach Blossom Garden, Returning to the Pastoral Residence, Returning to Xi Ci, Drinking, Biography of Mr. Wuliu, are written by Tao Yuanming.

Biography of Mr. Wuliu
I don't know who Mr. Wu is, and I don't know his surname. There are five willows near the house, because they think they are numbered. Quiet and quiet, don't be greedy. Good reading, not asking for a solution; Every time I know something, I will gladly forget to eat. Sex is addicted to alcohol, and the family is poor, so you can't get it often. You know it when you are close to the old, or buy wine and recruit it. You will be drunk if you make a drink. Since I retired drunk, I did not hesitate to stay. The ring is blocked and bare, and it does not cover the windy day; A short brown knot, an empty ladle, and a sudden silence! I often amuse myself by writing articles, which shows my ambition. Forget the gains and losses, and die by it.
Praise: "Qian Lou's wife has a saying:' Don't care for the poor, don't care for the rich.' Is his words true? Write poems in order to enjoy their ambitions, without the people of Huai's family? People of Ge Tianshi? "
