The Realm of Clarity: New Essays on Tao Yuanming
by Dai Jianye
About This Novel
Tao Yuanming neither has the grandeur and tragedy of Qu Yuan, nor the boldness and elegance of Li Bai, nor the majesty and majesty of Du Fu. With his hundreds of poems, how did Tao Yuanming win a lofty status on par with these three giants of poetry? Su Shi believed: "Cao, Liu, Bao, Xie, Li, and Du are all beyond comparison." Wang Guowei pointed out: "After Qu Zi, there are only literary heroes, especially Yuan Ming." Zhu Guangqian said: Tao Yuanming's "lofty status as a poet can be compared with him. Before him was Qu Yuan, and after him only Du Fu." Chen Yinke believed: "Tao Yuanming not only ranks among the top in literary quality in ancient and modern times, but also is actually the best poet in history. A great thinker in the medieval era of our country." Teacher Dai Jianye used his profound academic background, solid historical foundation, interesting writing style, and unique value orientation to discuss Tao Yuanming's literary achievements, personality, and spiritual world, restoring to readers a true and full Tao Yuanming - he was a clear spring in the turbulent current, and a real person in the era of "the rise of falsehood".
