A philosopher once said, "One spends half a day dreaming." Can this sentence also be understood as "people have been dreaming for half their lives" I don't know what other people fantasize about, but Tao Yuanming showed us his ideal world. It is a place full of flowers, a place without class distinction. Everyone's gains are in direct proportion to their efforts. They create everything with their own hands. Although full of gamey smell, but also full of human touch.
There are many reasons why this aesthetic social atmosphere has not been formed for thousands of years, and one of them is that human nature is selfish. Maybe I'm being too extreme. After all, my social circle is so much. I've only seen so much, and I've never heard of other beauties and ugliness. So I can only talk about this problem in a very simple way.
When I was a child, I thought I was a competitive and possessive child. I always want what I want, from grabbing toys with my brother to grabbing erasers with my deskmate, from arguing with my teacher about the right answer to arguing with my tutor. It seems that I have never wronged myself. However, the opponents at that time were so kind and friendly. Forget the past and restore the original peace. With the growth of age, this competitive desire decreases day by day, and I seem to be at peace with the world. It is on such days that I can see those ugly desires more clearly. It turns out that the situation of "the authorities are fascinated, the onlookers see clearly" will also be staged in my life. Those little people who are friendly on the surface and heartless behind them; Cowards who bully the weak with arrogance; People who think they have money.
Hypocrite ... I didn't see all this with my own eyes, otherwise I would be more cynical, but I began to doubt the truth of the world after hearing about it for a long time. Indeed, I often see things floating on the water, because I float on the water, and the muddy sea makes everything unclear, so those distant faces always seem very kind, because no one knows if they are masks, and the faces under the masks are even more unclear, and I don't want to find them. Floating on it has the advantage of floating on it, and those filthy, ugly and unsightly things can be invisible. Although I know this is a cowardly act, when I want to touch them, I can't tear off the mask of the new couple as I imagined. I'm afraid to see what I don't want to see, so I'll try to escape as much as possible.
So when I saw Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, I couldn't help being deeply moved by the scenery of this paradise, the people who live and work in peace and contentment, and the happy and peaceful life. Without exploitation and oppression, everyone has the right to freedom and equality. They work at sunrise, rest at sunset and live a quiet life. All this makes me deeply yearn for it now. Although it is a fictional world, it gives me unlimited imagination. It seems that those dark societies submerged in water are just a nightmare I had. When I wake up, the beautiful scenery outside the window is still full of vitality. I didn't expect anything, but asked, "Lord, please wake up my dream."
