Historians have discovered that the true place of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" is actually the life of the northernersWe have Xi the poetry of the ancients since elementary school, and when we grow up, we have a deeper understanding of the artistic conception in it, and we sigh at the wisdom of the ancients. Tao Yuanming, a well-known poet, is a household name for his poetry. When it comes to Tao Yuanming, people will naturally think of his famous poem "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", in which he expresses the paradise that people yearn for in the war era, a peaceful paradise, and a peach blossom forest. Many people thought at the time that Tao Yuanming was just expressing the wishes of the people at that time, the yearning for peace and tranquility and staying away from the war. This interpretation is in line with people's expectations, and therefore, the poem is classified as a mood, a yearning.
However, through in-depth study of ancient poems and ancient texts, historian Chen Yinke found places that are consistent with "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", which shows that Tao Yuanming's poem does have a historical prototype, rather than people's speculation about the ideal artistic conception. Experts believe that the place depicted by Tao Yuanming is actually the Wubao life of the northerners in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty. Some people may question how Tao Yuanming, who is in the south, can understand the life of northerners?At this time, we have to mention another character, Dai Zuo, who was born in the military, experienced the battlefields of war, and wrote "The Journey to the West". Tao Yuanming has some connections with this campaign, and coupled with the records in the book, it is not surprising that Tao Yuanming can understand the life of this northern dock fort. Moreover, his peach blossom paradise is consistent with the life of Wubao in the book, whether it is time, place or background.
Let's talk about the life of the northerners at that time, although the appearance of the dock fort is similar to that of foreign castles, it is completely different. These dock forts were actually military garrisons left over from the war, and they were small and self-sufficient. Since it is a fortification left over from the war, it naturally has a certain guarantee. The land of the north is barren, and living here is completely self-sufficient. Life and safety have been guaranteed, forming this paradise. Of course, this is just a reasonable speculation by experts, but based on a deep understanding of history and humanities, there is a great possibility.
In fact, many poets are inspired by life. Only by depicting life realistically can we create poems that resonate with people.
