At the same time, it also contains his experience of rural life, so it has become a masterpiece. Although his pastoral poems reveal the leisurely mood of feudal literati, they can't hide his feelings for farmers and his own working life.

The story of Tao Yuanming

In 365 AD, a baby was born in a pottery house. He was the grandson of Tao Kan, a fu family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang San, a blind fortune teller, will be a great success to see that this child has extraordinary bones. Pottery named his son Tao Yuanming.

Tao Yuanming spent his childhood in such a family, and luxury is self-evident. Good pre-school education, family education and great achievements of ancestors inspired Tao Yuanming in his childhood. He has a strong self-esteem, which is the main psychological reason why he later went to be an official in order to save the world and refused to bend over for five dou meters.

Unfortunately, when Tao Yuanming was nine years old, his father died and the pillar of his family was gone. The most important thing is that the source of silver is gone, and only his mother and sister are left at home. The family lived in a vacant lot and became very 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 Council, grandpa is the party secretary, and Dad is also the party secretary. It should be standard & poor's for generations. How can you be poor if you sell your real estate, deposits, famous cars and stocks at home and abroad little by little? It's amazing. Believe it or not, I am poor anyway, so I have to be fostered with my mother and sister in my grandpa Meng Jia's house (reminds me of Sister Lin, don't cry).

Teacher Lu Xun said: "Who has fallen from a well-off family to a poor situation? 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, let alone from Dakang to the victim. This experience played an important role in Mr. Tao Yuanming's psychological growth. A silent teenager 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. It is said that he "drinks a lot, but not disorderly;" As for getting carried away, no one watched it, but it did not prevent the old gentleman from becoming an example for Tao Yuanming's classmates to learn later. Tao Yuanming's life here is also happy, at least with food and clothing. There are many books in his grandfather's house. Tao Yuanming studied hard and read widely, which laid a solid foundation for later becoming a truly great pastoral teacher-Zu Yuanming.
