Why is fishing a loser, Tao Yuanming?

Fishing wastes time. Fishing is considered to be enterprising, ignorant of work, and pursuing pleasure, like finding a paradise. Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden describes the scene of a paradise, and weaving carpets is a waste of time. So fishing is a failure, because Tao Yuanming wastes time. Tao Yuanming (about 365-427) is a famous and intelligent figure, nicknamed Mr. Wu Liu, and is known as Mr. Jing Jie in the world. One is from Xunyang County (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province) and the other is from Yifeng, Jiangxi Province. He was an outstanding poet, lyricist and essayist at the end of Eastern Jin Dynasty and the beginning of Liu Song Dynasty.
