陶渊明的躬耕之路与相关诗歌创作考论

A Comment on Tao Yuan-ming's Farming Life and Related Poetry Creation

陶渊明少有壮志,也曾游宦多年。但是他对晋末官场的不适,前代隐者躬耕传统的感召,最终促使他解职归田,过上躬耕自足的生活。陶渊明的躬耕之路大体可分为耕仕徘徊期、安心躬耕期与老病困穷期三个阶段。在漫长的躬耕历程中,他认识了躬耕的意义,体验了田园生活的乐趣,但也饱尝了战乱、自然灾害与饥寒等方面的困扰。这些经历他都真实地反应于诗歌创作中,从而构建了一个完整的自我形象。

Tao Yuan-ming had great aspiration since early youth, and also served as an official away from home in many years, but he could not adapt himself to the officialdom, and was deeply attracted by the farming life the previous hermits, which finally led to his resignation and returning to the countryside. He lived by his personal plough ever since. Tao Yuan-ming＇ s farming life can be divided into three stages： hesitating between farming and official career, keeping his mind on farming and his later years with illness and poverty. In the long course of his farming practices, he recognized the meaning of fanning and enjoyed his idyllic life, however he was also puzzled by war, natural calamity, hunger and cold. He responded to all those experiences in his poetry writing, thus building a complete self-image.
