Wei-Jin period is an era of rapid changes in China's ideology and culture. At that time, the literati competed for life and galloped in Hyunri, specializing in light things. This ethos is manifested in literature as vague literary content and serious formalism tendency. In the decades after the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the poetic world was almost occupied by metaphysical poems. Since Jian 'an, Zhengshi and Taikang, the normal development of poetry art has been interrupted, and the excessive expansion of metaphysical elements has made poetry deviate from art and become a boring annotation of Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts. However, in such an era of poor literature, there is a poet, like a wonderful flower, who washed away the dirt of the past with his bright colors and novel style and injected new blood into the literary world. This poet is Tao Yuanming.

The appearance of Tao Yuanming reconnected the context of poetry art and added many new dynamic factors. Tao poetry follows the simple style of Wei and Jin poetry and enters a more refined situation, like a milestone, marking the height that simple poetry can reach. Tao Yuanming is also a pioneer of innovation. He successfully promoted "nature" to the realm of beauty; Transforming Hyunri in the interpretation of metaphysical poems into philosophy in daily life; Combine poetry with daily life and create a new theme of pastoral poetry. His lofty Geng Jie is free and easy, simple, simple and kind. His philosophical thinking on life, together with his works, has built a "nest" and spiritual home for later literati. On the one hand, it can shield their hypocrisy and ugliness, on the other hand, it can also allow them to rest and escape. Their strong sense of identity with Tao Yuanming makes Tao Yuanming an inexhaustible topic.
