Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring
Tao Yuanming's " The Peach Blossom Spring " was a famous Chinese fable that told the story of a secluded village in the mountains, the Peach Blossom Spring. The original text was as follows: From time to time, I'm stupid and hidden. At that time, I went deep into the mountains and really didn't see him. He traveled more than 500 miles a day and did not know where to stop. He said to himself,'This is paradise.' Among them,"self-foolishness and self-concealment" meant "self-deception", which implied that the protagonists of the story chose to give up thinking and face the powerlessness of reality in order to escape from reality. The phrase "sometimes they enter the mountains but never see each other" meant that they often could not get in touch with the outside world when they lived in seclusion in the mountains. They could only stick to their own lives through their own beliefs and beliefs. "Traveling more than 500 miles a day without knowing where to stop" described the daily travel of the people of Peach Blossom Spring. They walked hundreds of miles every day, but no one knew their whereabouts because they only communicated with their hearts. The whole story was based on the theme of the Peach Blossom Spring, depicting a world like a paradise where people lived a simple, free and happy life. They did not need to work for a living, they only needed to survive according to their own wishes. This story also expressed Tao Yuanming's criticism of the real society and his yearning for a peaceful and free life. It became a classic in Chinese culture.
