Xanadu is a word to describe a beautiful hermitage, and Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty wrote a peach blossom garden that seems to exist "really", which makes many people yearn for it. When everyone went to school, everyone had to learn Tao Yuanming's article, and the teacher's explanation of TaoHuayuan at that time was that this was a lie made up by Tao Yuanming, who longed for a paradise, and this article only expressed his yearning for this kind of life. But when I got to know the Wuling Man group and went to see the peach blossom garden in Youyang, Chongqing, I found that Tao Yuanming's peach blossom garden is real.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what Tao Yuanming Taohuayuan wrote</h1>
Let's first review how Tao Yuanming wrote Taohuayuan. In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their profession... Suddenly, in the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shores... Go back and forth, wanting to exhaust the forest. When the forest is exhausted, there will be a mountain, and the mountain will have a small mouth, as if there is light. Ditch the boat and enter through the mouth. The beginning is very narrow, and it is only through people. Repeat dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened. The land is flat, the houses are like houses, and there is a good field of Miike mulberry bamboo. Strange traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hanging down, and happy... Since Yun's ancestors avoided the chaos of Qin, he led his wife Yiren to this desperate situation, did not come back, and was separated from outsiders. Ask what the world is, but I don't know if there is a Han, no matter Wei Jin... This middle man said: "Not enough for outsiders to be humane." "(Interval 1 work: Isolation) When he is out, he gets his ship, and he leads to the road, and everywhere he wants to do it. And the county, Ji Taishou, said so. To be too conservative is to send people to follow them, to find what they want, to be lost, and not to find the way back.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the prototype of Taohuayuan is the entire Wuling Mountains</h1>
So how much of Chongqing Youyang Taohuayuan is in line? This Peach Blossom Source Scenic Area, there is a cave, which is indeed in line with Tao Yuanming's writing, after passing through the cave, it enters a paradise. Inside, the scenery is beautiful, the peach trees are forested, and the scene of a paradise is a paradise. Some netizens said that this is created by tourism, but the cave is natural, and this is impossible to build. As for the costumes in the peach blossom garden, of course, they can't be seen. In Changde City, Hunan, there is also a Taohuayuan Scenic Area, and the Taohuayuan in Youyang, Chongqing, has not been uniquely certified. Besides, according to Tao Yuanming's writing, this fisherman entered the peach blossom garden, came out again, and then took Taishou to find no one, and the posterity could so easily determine the location?
Hunan Changde Peach Blossom Garden
The above-mentioned Chongqing and Changde are the places where Tao Yuanming has been, and I think we can't narrow the scope of Taohuayuan to a scenic spot, but we can determine a general range. The phrase "Wuling people fishing for their profession" can actually frame the scope in Wuling County, and the scope of Wuling County is the scope of today's Wuling Mountains. Wuling Mountain or Wuling Mountain, which occupies the junction of Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing and Guizhou provinces and cities, belongs to the eastern extension of the Yunwu Mountains on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Whether it is Youyang in Chongqing or Changde in Hunan, it is in the Wuling Mountains.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Tao Yuanming saw wuling and had this imagination</h1>
The Wuling Mountains are inhabited by a group of people known as wuling barbarians. They are the ancestors of the Miao, Tujia and other ethnic groups. Today's Chongqing Youyang is the Miao Tujia Autonomous County. Hunan also has many Miao and Tujia families.
Hmong beauties
Wuling Man's lineage, according to the legend of The Book of Later Han and the Biography of Nan Man, is a descendant of the three princesses of the divine dog Pan Yong and the daughter of the emperor. Today, some of the Miao people also honor Pan Ou and the three princesses as ancestors. Emperor Zhao was the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and further back to the time of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestors of Wuling man were the Jiuli people. At this point, they seem to be people who are hugely different from the Central Plains, and they cannot be the descendants of the Qin people in Tao Yuanming's pen, nor will they dress like people outside.
But in fact, we can slowly analyze that the people of Taohuayuan said that they came for refuge, and the later Jin Dynasty also had the situation that the northern warriors crossed the south in their crowns. When the crown crossed south, the south was not empty but less populous, and after the arrival of the warriors, the population of the south increased greatly, and the economy and culture prospered. When the people of Taohuayuan entered the deep mountains, they may have taken refuge from the north and were originally Chinese. They entered a closed area and did not communicate with the surrounding Wuling barbarians, so they dressed more like the Central Plains people than the Wuling barbarians.
The Hmong goddess Yang Asha
There is also a situation, that is, during the Qin Dynasty, Wuling Man was not so different from others, after all, the ancestors of Wuling Man were also the grandsons of the Yellow Emperor, and there are legends among the She and Miao people, and the ancient dress of the She and Miao women was the dress of the three princesses. Moreover, Jiuli's Xuan you were surnamed Jiang and a descendant of the Yan Emperor, and there was not much difference between himself and the Central Plains. We can compare the costumes of the Southern Chu State with the costumes of the Northern Chu Dynasty from the cultural relics, but in fact, they are very similar. If it is relatively closed for thousands of years from the Qin Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, it will be similar to the costumes of the Central Plains people of the Qin Dynasty, and similar to the costumes of the Jin Dynasty. The Miao costume depicted in the Hundred Miao Diagram of the Qing Dynasty is actually more similar to the Hanfu.
So is Wuling Man's daily life as described so beautifully as in "The Tale of Peach Blossom Origin"? In fact, there have always been residues of such a Yao Tian Shun day. Not to mention the Jin Dynasty, even in modern times, the Dulong clan was a clan commune decades ago. The Miao people, descendants of Wuling Man, also have their own set of management methods.
The Miao have a hammer system, which is a method of social management. Huiyu (Miao) is the meaning of negotiating a convention, xiangxi called "heshu", Qiandongnan called "huiluo", Guangxi meltwater called "buried rock conference", Yunnan Jinping called "Lishe conference". The size of the hammer varies, some are a natural village, and there are also several or dozens of natural villages, and they can maintain order. Therefore, similar to the leisurely life of the ancients, the Wuling people can live. Therefore, Tao Yuanming is not completely fictional, he saw the state of Wuling's life and wrote this "Peach Blossom Origin".
The Book of Peach Blossom Origin is written more in favor of the natural state that the ancients said, which is even more exaggerated than the real Yao Shun era. There are no managers of social order. In fact, such a state did not exist in the Yao Shun era, and Emperor Yao's ability was to harmonize all nations, and if all the states did not need anyone to condense, Emperor Yao would not be praised. Tao Yuanming, the living state of the villagers in "The Tale of Peach Blossom Origin", should be roughly written with reference to Wuling Man, and then add his personal hopes.
