Tao Yuanming
Tao Yuanming, the character Yuanliang, in his later years changed his name to Qian, the word Yuanming. Nicknamed Mr. Wuliu, privately known as Jingjie, known as Mr. Jingjie. A native of Chaisang, Xunyang (present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi), a native of Yifeng. He was an outstanding poet, lexicographer, and essayist from the late Eastern Jin Dynasty to the early Liu and Song dynasties. It is known as "the ancestor of the reclusive poets" and the "originator of the pastoral school". He is the first literary giant in Jiangxi.
Tao Yuanming with wine
Tao Yuanming loved wine all his life, and his poems were also stained with a mellow and long wine flavor. It is very clear in his "Biography of Mr. Goyanagi". "The Biography of Mr. Wuliu" is a short article of tao yuanming with an autobiographical nature, although the length is short, it lists in detail his interests, hobbies, personality characteristics, family situation and other aspects. Taking his hobbies as an example, the article says that in addition to his love of reading and writing, he has another major hobby: "Sexual addiction." Poor families cannot always get it, and they know it from the past, or they invite them with wine. When the wine is exhausted, the period will be drunk. Drunk and retreating, he did not hesitate to stay. ”
Wine and life
Good wine is the custom of that era, Tao Yuanming is no exception, after drinking, drunk, he got up and left, but also in the drunkenness revealed a trace of freedom and sincerity.
Tao Yuanming has been accompanied by wine almost all his life, and he loves to be a neighbor with good winemakers. In the relevant historical biography, there are many records of him and wine. The Book of Song has a legend: "The sound of the subliminal sound is not understood, and the piano is stored, without strings." Whenever there is a suitable wine, it is touched to send a message. Noble and lowly, there is wine, if you are drunk first, you will be a whisperer, I am drunk and sleepy, and the secretary can go. That's true. The county general Hou Qian, on the value of his wine ripening, took the kudzu towel on his head and dripped the wine, Bi, and revived it. The "Biography of the High Sages of the Lotus Society" says: "Master Yuan and the Sages formed the Lotus Society, and used books to attract Yuanming, and if Yuan ming promised to drink tomorrow, he would go." Xu Zhi, sui built. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and left. "It's so spontaneous and cute. Many of his poems are either directly written about drinking or related to drinking. When he was well fed and clothed, he drank alcohol, as in "Migration" Part II: "Spring and Autumn are good days, ascend to the heights and give new poems." The door is more called, and there is wine to drink. Even if it is embarrassing to the point that as stated in the "Complaint Poem Chu Tune Pang Lord Bo Deng Zhizhong", "summer is long with hunger, and cold nights are sleepless." The situation of making the chicken chirp in the evening and wishing for the wuqian in the morning" is probably also drinking. A few months before his death, he wrote for himself in the "Quasi-Elegy", which expressed regret that "when he hated to be alive, he could not drink enough".
Wine and creation
Tao Yuanming's life can not be drunk, many of his poems are written in a slightly drunk state, and his poetry also has a "wine taste". Tao Yuanming's greatest achievement in poetry is his pastoral poems. He treats pastoral life with the attitude of treating wine, expressing pastoral life in a slightly drunk state, so most of his descriptions are his most direct observations and feelings about the countryside, and the impression of not adding any impurities. For this kind of poetry, people generally use the four words of plain and natural to evaluate. For example, in one of his "Returning to the Garden and Rural Residences", "the square house is more than ten acres, and the grass house is eight or nine." The eaves of the elm willow shade, in front of the tao li luo hall. Warm far away from the village, clinging to the smoke in the ruins. Dogs bark in the deep alley, chickens sing mulberry trees upside down" a few sentences, from the content point of view, all written in the poem is ordinary, nothing more than what the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the heart feels, and the writing is also casual, without adding a little stain. Seemingly plain language, but a true and natural expression of their love for pastoral life. His pastoral life is quiet and harmonious, full of vitality, simple and happy.
But the plain and natural four words are not enough to comprehensively summarize the characteristics of Tao's poetry. Coupled with Su Shi's evaluation of Tao Yuanming's poem "qualitative and solid, and solid and real", it can be regarded as pertinent. Tao's poems seem to be plain, and the longer you read them, the more mellow they feel. For example, the famous sentence in the fifth of Tao Yuanming's poem "Drinking" is "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain", which looks bland at first, and the aftertaste is long. This is probably the "realm of no self" that Wang Guowei said in "Words and Sayings on Earth", "looking at things with things, not knowing what is me and what is things".
Is this "state of no-self" close to the taste of being slightly drunk?
