Excerpt from the original text:In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road.

Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different, and he goes forward again, wanting to exhaust his forest. When the forest runs out of water, there is a mountain, and the mountain has a cracked and small mouth, as if there is light.

Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth.

Translation:During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a person in Wuling who made a living by fishing. One day he was rowing along the stream, forgetting how far he had been.

The fisherman was very surprised to come across a peach blossom forest, within a few hundred steps of the two sides of the stream, with no other trees in between, and the flowers and plants were fresh and beautiful, and the fallen flowers on the ground were many and mixed.

He continued on his way, thinking that he was about to reach the end of the woods. At the end of the peach blossom forest is the source of the stream, and the fisherman found a hill with a small hole in it, and the hole seemed to be faintly lit. The fisherman got out of the boat and went in through the hole.

Appreciation of the works of "The Peach Blossom Spring":

Tao Yuanming writes poetry, is good at white depiction of the source skin, the style is clean, and the language is natural. "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" also has this artistic style. Although it is a fictional fairyland, due to the use of realistic techniques, the virtual scene is written, giving people a sense of reality, as if there are real people and real things.

The full text takes the whereabouts of the Wuling fisherman as a clue, and describes the three stories of stream fishing, Taoyuan Wonderland, and re-finding the lost.

For the Peach Paradise, secular people are no longer interested in looking for it, but Tao Yuanming himself has never stopped pursuing, he takes the Peach Blossom Source people as like-minded friends, and eagerly hopes to live with him in the Peach Blossom Spring.

It is Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" Jin Taiyuan Zhong, a native of Wuling, fishing for the industry, the edge of the stream, forgetting the distance of the road, and suddenly meeting the peach blossom forest. Hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different.

Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest. When the forest runs out of water, there is a mountain. The mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light.

Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth.

At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be understood; After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat, and the houses are like houses. There are good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo, Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other.

Among them, men and women are dressed like outsiders; Yellow hair hangs down and is happy. When he saw the fisherman, he was shocked, and asked where he had come from, and he answered. Then he had to return home, and set up wine to kill chickens for food.

When the village heard about this person, Xian came to inquire. Since Yun's ancestors avoided the chaos of Qin, he led his wife and people to come to this desperate situation and did not come back; So he was separated from outsiders. Ask what the world is today, but I don't know that there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.

This person sighed for what he had said and heard. The rest of the people returned to their homes, and they all drank and ate. Stop for a few days and resign.

The Chinese said: "It's not enough to talk about cheese disease!?."

Once he has gone out and got his boat, he will help him to the road, and he will do it everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou, said so. Taishou immediately sent people to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he lost his way.

Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble scholar, heard it, and happily went to it. Unsuccessfully, the search for the disease ended. Later, there was no interest.

Background. Tao Yuanming (365 427) was a poet, poet, and essayist in the Jin and Song dynasties. A dive, the character is bright, and the private Jingjie is private. Xunyang Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) people.

Tao poems follow the quaint style of Wei and Jin poetry and enter a more sophisticated state, like a milestone marking the height that quaint poetry can reach. Tao Yuanming is another pioneer of innovation. He succeeded in elevating "nature" to a state of beauty; The metaphysics expressed in the Xuanyan poems are changed to the philosophies in daily life; It combined poetry with everyday life and created a new genre of idyll.

The story of "The Peach Blossom Spring" has similarities with other fairyland stories, describing a beautiful fairy world. However, it should be emphasized that the ideal model provided by Tao Yuanming has its peculiarities: the people who live there are actually ordinary people, a group of people who have taken refuge, not immortals, but they have retained the innocence of nature more than the world; Their peace, tranquility, and happiness are achieved through their own labor.

Many fairy tales in ancient times depict immortality and treasure, and there is neither immortality nor treasure in the peach blossom garden, only a scene of farming. When Tao Yuanming first returned to seclusion, he only thought of the progress and retreat of individuals, and when he wrote "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", he was not limited to individuals, but thought of the way out of the whole society and the happiness of the people. Tao Yuanming's step is related to years of farming and poor life experience.

Although the Peach Blossom Paradise is just a fantasy, it is very valuable to be able to put forward this fantasy.
