Being an official is Tao Yuanming's helpless choice-"everyone else in the family is poor and farming is not enough to support themselves." He has to support a large family. In order to support his family, after being reminded by relatives and friends, he himself had the idea of being an official, which is the so-called "welcome". He was appointed as Peng, apparently with the help of the "leader" and his uncle, and he was lucky. He was grateful for their help: "There must be four things. The princes take love as their virtue, and my uncle is poor, so I will use it in a small town." This sentence in the preface, I think, is the best proof of the sentence "The world is against me".
Reason for resignation: "? And after a few days, there is a feeling of returning to China as soon as possible. What is this? Nature is nature, not obtained through revision. Although hunger and cold cut, but it is against their own diseases. Everyone who tastes from personnel is selfish. So I was disappointed, generous and deeply ashamed of my lifelong ambition. I still look forward to a glimpse, when I put away my clothes and die overnight. Sung Hoon's sister died in Wuchang, and she was relieved of her post. Mid-autumn festival to winter, more than 80 days in the official. Because things are going well, Life is called "Back to Xi". B is also 1 1 month. "
Judging from the preface, Tao Yuanming resigned because being an official violated his nature of "loving mountains and love the water", even to the extent that "hunger and freezing are urgent, but he is sick against himself". In other words, Tao Yuanming will resign and go home even if he is hungry and cold, because being an official really makes him suffer physically and mentally. Faced with the dilemma of hunger and cold, he is "the lesser of the two evils." Being an official has violated his "lifelong ambition", which is the author's statement of the reasons for his resignation.
