Who is the Peach Blossom Fairy?
The Peach Blossom Fairy refers to Tang Bohu.

A seven-character ancient poem "Song of Peach Blossom Temple" written by Tang Yin in Ming Dynasty. The content of the whole poem is: Taohuawu Taohuaan, Taohuaan Taohuaxian. Peach Fairy cultivates peach trees and picks them to sell wine. When you wake up, you just sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers. Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers bloom year after year. I hope I die of old age. I don't want to bow my head in front of horses and chariots. Cars and horses are rich and interesting, and hops are poor. If wealth is better than poverty, one is underground and the other is in heaven. If you compare poverty to horses and chariots, he will have to drive away my leisure. Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. There are no graves of Hao Jie in Wuling, no flowers, no wine, and no hoes to plow the fields.

There is a Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and there is a peach fairy in the Peach Blossom Temple. Peach Fairy planted many peach trees, and he picked them to exchange drinks. Sit quietly in the flowers when you wake up, and sleep under the flowers when you are drunk. Half awake and half drunk, day after day, year after year. I just want to die of old age in the peach blossom wine room, and I don't want to bow before the horses and chariots of dignitaries. Flow is the interest of nobles, and wine glasses and flowers are the fate and hobbies of poor people like me. If you compare the wealth of others with my poverty, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. If I compare my poverty to the horses and chariots of the powerful, they work for the powerful, but I get the pleasure of leisure. Others laugh at me for being too coquettish, but I laugh at others for not seeing through the world. You haven't seen those rich families once brilliant, but now you can't see their graves, just for farmland.

This poem was written in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi (1505). This year, it was only six years since Tang Yin was falsely accused. Tang Yin once won the title of Xie Yuan, and later got involved in the fraud case in the examination room, which made him famous. In the long-term life training, he saw through the vanity of fame and fortune, and thought that fame and fortune at the expense of freedom could not last long, so he refused to make a living by selling paintings and lived a leisurely life with flowers as friends and wine as friends. The poet wrote this poem, expressing his attitude towards life that he was willing to retire and indifferent to fame and fortune.
