History has always been a rigorous discipline, and its conclusions need to be proved by historical data and mutual corroboration. Today, I swiped a historical self-** account on a certain sound to revise and criticize the matter of Tao Yuanming, a historical figure in the Jin Dynasty, and it happened to continue the knowledge popularization of the history column.
I hope that every reader will be willing to spend some time to read this article, and I would like to tell and popularize the famous stories and characters of ancient Chinese history from a comprehensive and objective perspective, all of whom have left a vivid and colorful mark in history. I also hope that readers can have their own opinions through this series of articles, and not be misled by people who come just for the sake of traffic to learn Xi wrong history. Your seriousness is the biggest motivation for me to write an article, thank you in advance.
First of all, we need to understand what kind of person Tao Yuanming is.
Tao Yuanming (c. 365-427), known as Qian, the character Yuanliang, alias Mr. Wuliu, private Jingjie, known as Mr. Jingjie, one said that Xunyang County Chaisang County (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) people, the other said that Jiangxi Yifeng people, from the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the beginning of the Liu Song Dynasty, outstanding poets, writers, essayists. Tao Yuanming once served as Jiangzhou sacrificial wine, Jianwei joined the army, the town army joined the army, Pengze County Order, etc., the last time he was the Pengze County Order, more than 80 days before abandoning his post, since then he has returned to the countryside. He is the first pastoral poet in China, known as the "Sect of Ancient and Modern Hermit Poets", known as the "Sect of Hermit Poets" and "the Originator of the Pastoral Poetry School".
His works include "Words of Return", "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", "Drinking" and so on. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan, this good sentence is from "drinking" (the fifth).
And this person who has thrown out Tao Yuanming's indifference to fame and fortune and poverty since the ** account came up is nonsense, and described Tao Yuanming as a cultured negative and negative element to accuse. In the face of such arguments, I will first popularize to readers what era Tao Yuanming lived in.
He lived in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, during this period, the country was controlled by the gate valves in turn, in the era of birth decision, the poor and the common people had no way out, and most of the children of the gate valves were incapable, but they could rely on blood relations to occupy important positions, and live a life of good luck and worry-free food and clothing. At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court was mediocre and incompetent, the political situation was turbid, and wars were frequent. In the face of the chaotic political situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming retired five times and lived a pastoral secluded life. Social existence determines social consciousness, do you want to blame Tao Yuanming because others can't write positive things in the chaotic and dark era?
Then, the self-** person described the period in which Tao Yuanming lived as the best era. It's really laughable, and I directly quote history to refute him most powerfully.
In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty where Tao Yuanming lived, the gate lord clan continued to carry out land annexation, and the people at the bottom were miserable. First, there were continuous internal struggles in the imperial court, and rebellions broke out successively, among which Huan Xuan initiated the Huan Xuan Rebellion (403 AD), established the Huan Chu regime, and once destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty;Later, Sun Enlu followed the peasant uprising and hit the Eastern Jin Dynasty hard, which caused massacres and plunder, and made the land full of devastation. And the self-** actually said that the above-mentioned period in the process of Liu Yu's control of power was the best era for the people, on the grounds that Liu Yu suppressed the gate valve after seizing power and was lenient to the people. Here, I will continue to popularize history directly to readers, the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were the era of gate valves, and each regime did not get rid of the influence of gate valves, because gate valves are local forces, they helped manage the place, and the emperor needed to complete the rule of the country through the management of gate valves. Therefore, Liu Yu (who later established the Southern Song Dynasty and was for Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty) only suppressed the threatening gate valves who did not support him, and supported the new Han Gate Valve to maintain his rule, and at the same time, the people should be bitter or bitter, and the situation that those who have no land to cultivate can only rely on others has not changed, and the only change may be that the number of wars has decreased after the establishment of the Southern Song DynastyIt's ironic.
The latter argument is even more historical: he said that Tao Yuanming was deprived of his privileges by Liu Yu because he lived in this "good era" (although he didn't know what he was deprived of), and he became an official only to make a fortune, and he wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos.
It's really outrageous, and as above, I will directly go to the historical materials for everyone to judge for themselves.
Tao Yuanming wrote "Return to the Past" and resigned from seclusion (405), Liu Yu gradually stabilized his political power and cracked down on the gate valve after five or six years, and the time of the attack on the gate valve and Tao Yuanming's resignation and seclusion are not matched, you tell me how to mix into the officialdom and make a fortune?Isn't it more rigorous to deceive viewers and readers?
In the end, the author of the Song Dynasty also criticized the literati of the Song Dynasty, saying that Tao Yuanming's perfect image was transformed by them. It was those high-level literati such as Su Shi who lived too nourishingly and didn't know that the hardships of rural life had changed like this.
Such remarks really stunned my eyes, Su Shi's life is moistDon't know about rural life yet?Here, I would like to explain the historical knowledge once again. Su Shi (1037-1101), Zizhan, the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment because of the "Wutai Poetry Case". After Song Zhezong ascended the throne, he served as a bachelor of Hanlin, a bachelor of waiting, and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and was sent out to govern Hangzhou, Yingzhou, Yangzhou, Dingzhou and other places. With the new party in power, it was demoted to Huizhou and Danzhou. When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he was pardoned and returned to the north and died of illness in Changzhou. During the Southern Song Dynasty, he was posthumously presented to the Taishi, nicknamed "Wenzhong". Half of his life was either degraded or on the way to be degraded, and even he laughed at himself in his later years: his heart is like a gray wood, and his body is like an untied boat. Ask Ru Ping's life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou. (from Su Shi's "Self-titled Portrait of Jinshan") not only describes the discouragement, but also the boat is constantly floating in the sea, and the merits are all degraded.
If you think that being relegated to Lingnan to eat lychees, and being relegated to Hainan to eat oysters is also moisturizing (in the Song Dynasty, these are bitter cold places full of miasma, and there is a meaning of never hiring and losing your future), then I don't know how difficult it is to live in self-**.
*That's not all, this article only lists a representative (very outrageous) part. The strange thing is that such a person has millions of fans, and there are hundreds of thousands of likes and tens of thousands, and many people have been deceived by the false history in **, which makes the author feel very helpless.
I hope that readers can have their own judgment when it comes to knowledge content, not be misled by wrong content, and consult the places in doubt by themselves, and thinking about the problem itself is also an interesting process. Here, the author also tells you the reasons why I love and know history well. Xi history activates our minds, inspires our wisdom, reduces our probability of making mistakes, and helps us generate unique insights and find new directions for our future!If you have other historical questions, you can ask questions or private messages to the author in the comment area, if you want to know about a historical event, you can also follow or private message the author, and I will make corresponding historical science content to answer for you.
