2. Creative background

In the first year of Yi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (405), Tao Yuanming abandoned his official position and returned to the field, and wrote "Returning to the Ci". Tao Yuanming became an official at the age of 29 and has been an official for thirteen years. He has always hated officialdom and yearned for the countryside. At the age of 4 1 in the first year of Yixi, he made his last official career. After more than 80 days, he resigned and went home. I never came out to be an official again.

According to Tao Qian Biography of Song Dynasty and Tao Yuanming Biography of Xiao Tong, Tao Yuanming retired out of dissatisfaction with decadent reality. At that time, the county tour visited Pengze, and officials asked him to greet him with a belt to show his respect. He said angrily, "I don't want to bend over to the children in the village for five buckets of rice!" " "On the same day, I hung up my crown and left my post. I gave the word" come home to Xi "to clarify my thoughts.

In the 18th year of Taiyuan, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty (393), Tao Yuanming offered wine to Zhou. In the first year, he was appointed as Peng. During these thirteen years, he became an official several times and retired several times. Tao Yuanming had political ambitions, but the political society at that time was extremely dark. In the second year of Emperor Yuan Xing of Jin 'an (403), Huan Xuan, a warlord, usurped Jin and called himself Emperor Chu. In the third year of Yuanxing (404), another warlord, Emperor Wu of Song, set out to beg for Huan and entered Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the first year of Yixi (405), Emperor Wu of Song completely manipulated the military and political power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At this time, it was only fifteen years since Huan Xuan usurped Jin. Along with these usurpations, there are countless massacres of dissidents and unjust wars. Tao Yuanming loves freedom by nature, but at that time, the official atmosphere was extremely corrupt, flattering his superiors, arrogant and arrogant, rampant and shameful. An upright scholar had no place in the political society at that time, let alone realize his ideals and ambitions.

After thirteen years of twists and turns, Tao Yuanming finally realized this completely. The fundamental opposition between Tao Yuanming's character and political society doomed his ultimate choice-seclusion.
