Song Dynasty

Lin Bu's "Heart Saving Record": Tao Yuanming has no merits or people, but his reputation and integrity are related to meritorious officials, righteous individuals, etc. What's the point? Gai Yanzi advances by retreating, but Ning Wuzi is a foolish and unattainable disciple.

Ouyang Xiu: Jin has no articles, only Tao Yuanming's "Returning and Coming Ci".

Su Shi: I have nothing to do with poets, but I am good at Yuan Ming's poetry. Yuan Ming does not write many poems, but his poetry is of high quality and beautiful, beautiful and plump, surpassing those of Cao, Liu, Bao, Xie, Li, Du, and others.

If you want to serve, then serve, do not seek it as suspicion; If you want to hide, then hide, do not consider it high to go. Hunger knocks the door and begs for food; When full, chicken and millet are used to welcome guests. Wise people from ancient and modern times value their authenticity.

Huang Tingjian's "Su Jiu Peng Ze Huai Tao Ling" states: "The diving fish wishes for the deep and boundless, and the deep and bright have no way to escape.". Peng Ze, at this moment, is a lifelong hero. Sima Han is as cold as ashes, with a golden sword for ritual and music. At the end of the year, the character line is used, and the starting number is Yuan Liang. Looking at Zhuge with sorrow, he is as dirty as a Han dynasty. When there is no benefit to the state's herdsmen, command and use various generals. Throughout my life, my heart has been filled with the waves of the river. In my spare time, I speak and write for nine days. There has always been no one around, and this friend can still be alone. It belongs to freshly brewed wine, and there is no need to drink a cup of it. If you want to summon a soul for a thousand years, it may be appropriate to be gentle.

Chen Shidao's "Houshan Poetry Talk": Tao Yuanming's poetry is focused on things, but not on the ear Yuanming does not write poetry, but writes about the wonderful ears in his heart Youcheng and Suzhou both studied pottery and gained their freedom.

Wang Anshi (recorded in Chen Zhengmin's "Tunzhai Xianlan"): (Wang Anshi) said that his (Yuanming) poetry has a unique and unparalleled language, such as "settling in a mansion in a human realm without the noise of carriages and horses. How can I ask you? My heart is far away and self deviates", which has never been said by poets. However, Yuan and Ming tend to be unsophisticated, with brilliant and refined lyrics. Between the Jin and Song dynasties, they were just one person.

Yang Shi's "Quotations from Mr. Guishan": What Tao Yuanming's poetry cannot reach is profound and refined, stemming from nature. If mechanics had been used, then it is known that Yuan Ming's poetry cannot be achieved through force.

In Chao Shuozhi's "Chao's Guest Language," Yuan Ming said: "After reading thousands of books, one can always see the martyrs; if one is not skilled enough, one can deeply attain the virtue of poverty." He does not compete with things, cannot be strong enough, and naturally maintains integrity.

Cai Qi's "Cai Kuanfu's Poetry Discourse": Observing his (Yuanming) "The Poor Man", "The Son of Responsibility" and other works, when one is worried, they will be worried, and when they encounter joy, they will be happy. Suddenly, they will forget both joy and sorrow, and they will be suitable for everything they encounter. There is no choice between them. Those who are said to be extraordinary relics should be treated as such before they can be accepted.

Zeng Yan (Li Gonghuan's "Annotations on Tao Yuanming's Collected Works"): I have commented on Tao Gong's poetry, which is plain and profound in meaning, with a withered exterior and a plump interior, making it the crown of a true poet.

Cai Ta's "A Tale of Poetry from the Western Qing Dynasty" states that Yuan Ming has a genuine and ancient flavor, and is a simple and elegant style. Poets regard Yuan Ming as the same as Confucius regards Boyi.

Xu Yi's "Yanzhou Poetry Talk": Tao Pengze's poetry, which is inferior to Yan, Xie, Pan, and Lu, is attached to the poem with his past deeds, without any words of shame, so he is able to recite it.

Yang Wanli's "Preface to the Poems of Mr. Xixi and Tao": Poems from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, orchids from spring, chrysanthemums from autumn, wind from the pine trees, and water from the streams.

"Chengzhai Poetry Talk": The elegant and profound five character ancient poetry is composed of Tao Yuanming and Liu Zihou.

Zhu Xi's "Zhu Ziyu Lei": Yuan Ming spoke of Zhuang and Lao, but his words were simple and ancient Tao Yuanming's poetry is often described as plain. According to some people, he appears to be bold and unrestrained, but his boldness is not noticeable.

Ao Qizhi: Tao Pengze is like a crimson cloud in the sky, rolling freely. [16]

Xin Qiji's "Partridge Heaven": In his later years, he devoted himself to farming without complaining about poverty, and gathered together in a cockfight and wine. There is no matter between the Jin and Song dynasties, he is a person above Emperor Xi. After a thousand years, a hundred pieces remain, and there is no word that is not halal. If King Xie Zhulang is here, he will not reach the dust of Chaisang Road.

Jiang Kui's "On the Poetry of the White Stone Taoist" states that Tao Yuanming has both high talent and profound interest, so his poetry is scattered and dignified, plain and plump, and cannot be used as a step in Handan.

Zhen Dexiu's "Postscript to Huang Yingfu's Imitation of Tao Poetry": From the perspective of Yu Guan, the study of Yuan and Ming is derived from the classics, so the form of poetry cannot be concealed. The worries of Rongmu and the sighs of the passing river; The chant of "The Poor" is also the joy of bamboo baskets and ladles. In the last chapter of "Drinking Wine", it is said: "Xinong has been with me for a long time, and there are few people in the world who have regained their true selves. I have drawn on the old people of Lu, and through the cracks, I have made them pure." The wisdom of Yuan and Ming is beyond the reach of those who are mysterious and illusory? Although he was favored and humiliated, and once he was lost, he had a broad-minded style. When he played with his words carefully, he also felt sad and sorrowful. Those who were not unintentional to worldly affairs, or those who only knew that after the reign of Yixi, there was no official title, were the two surnames of shame, and they did not know that their family members belonged to the royal family and had the heart of their ancestor, the Duke of Changsha. They could not do it alone with their own strength. Therefore, Feitun used the words of self isolation, eating and drinking Wei, and the metaphor of filling the sea with wood, which was deeply painful, and readers could not pay attention to it. If the ambition of Yuanming were true, how could it destroy Yi Lun and other famous religions like Japanese!

Yan Yu's "Cang Lang Shi Hua": Ancient poems from the Han and Wei dynasties have a chaotic atmosphere and are difficult to extract. It is not until the Jin dynasty that there are good lines, such as "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains" and Xie Lingyun's "Spring grass grows in the pond". Xie is not as skilled as Tao, the poetry of leisure is exquisite, and the quality of Yuan Ming's poetry is natural and pleasing to the ear.

Liu Kezhuang's "Poetry of Houcun": Tao Gong is like the clear clouds of Liquan in heaven and earth, but there is no exit. When he leaves, it is auspicious, and Rao Po Gong is alone with Tao Keye.

"The Song of the Water Dragon": I have always loved Yuan Ming and come back early by chance. Inscription of a poem with a clear meaning, also known as Jiazi, also known as the year title. Tao Kan's grandson, the nephew of Meng Jia, is suspicious and arrogant. After forming an alliance with Chai Sang, Qiao Mu, Xie Chuan fish and birds, they returned to good health. Except for the sound of climbing and howling. Things are like heaven, do not seek advice from each other. The countryside is quiet, the city is overturned, and looking back, one can smile. The festive preface urges people, the eastern fence brings chrysanthemums, and the western wind blows the hat. To be a gentleman and a scholar, one's entire life, regardless of qualifications.

Tang Han's Preface to the Annotations of Tao Jingjie's Poetry Collection: Tao Gong's poetry is profound and exquisite, and the further one tests it, the more one cannot observe it. It is not a matter of different generations, and it is the same as the meaning of Han in the fifth generation of Zifang.

Huang Zhen's "Postscript to Zhang Shiyuan's Poems" states that Tao Yuanming has no aspirations for the world, but he has a leisurely and simple demeanor.

Chen Mo's "Memories of the Past": Tao Yuanming was poor and even begged for food. How could he compare the joy of happiness, wealth, and color to his contemporaries? Ran Yuanming is content and contented, never counting and paying attention to external things. He is different from those who only speak falsely about things.

Wen Tianxiang's "On the Sea": Wang Jifei is not a foolish uncle, how can Tao Qian be intoxicated. To obtain an official position, one must report to the country, but one can hide and flee to Qin.
