Tao Yuanming's seclusion has profound social critical significance. Tao Yuanming's seclusion is based on his sober understanding of the dark and hypocritical world and human feelings, and he returned to a rich life from officialdom. Tao Yuanming regards labor as a way to keep the integration of man and nature. Tao Yuanming's resignation and seclusion is also the result of knowing that officialdom imprisons freedom, hurts human nature and hates fame. Tao Yuanming's ideal society is a natural society. The core of Tao Yuanming's thought is to entrust transportation to nature.
