Where does Peach Blossom Spring come from?

Question 1: What is Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring about?

1. Tao Yuanming's hometown, Lushan, is located in a valley under the Hanyang Peak of Lushan, with a total area of Approximately over 10,000 acres, Peach Blossom Spring, also known as Kangwang Valley, is the longest canyon in Lushan Mountain, with a total length of about 15 miles. It is known as a paradise. The landscape is characterized by the scenery of the valley. It has always been considered to be the creation of Tao Yuanming's famous story "Peach Blossom Spring" The location of the prototype,

2. Yi County in ancient Huizhou, Anhui Province. Located in Yixian, a world cultural heritage site in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, it refers to the 10-kilometer section from Shishan to Yuting in the Zhanghe River Basin in Yixian County.

3. Taiwan Peach Blossom Spring. Located in the Xinliao River Valley, a tributary of the Keelung River, it is composed of the former "Savage Valley Scenic Recreation Area", "Tianyun Cave Scenic Area" and "Dahua Huxue Area". There are Cuigu Waterfall, Guanyin Waterfall, Mihundong Waterfall, Xinliao Waterfall, Yinmeng Waterfall, etc. in the scenic area. Although these waterfalls are not as spectacular as Shifen Waterfall, the surrounding environment is elegant and beautiful.

Research on the Peach Blossom Spring in Taiwan is quite different from what Tao Yuanming described, and there is no information about his visit there in terms of cultural history, so it is unlikely.

4. Taoyuan County, Changde City, Hunan Province - But it is generally believed that the prototype of Peach Blossom Spring is in Taoyuan County, Hunan Province. This is most consistent with the situation described in Peach Blossom Spring.

Peach Blossom Spring faces the surging Yuanjiang River, with towering mountain peaks at its back. When pedestrians walk past the Taohua Spring Archway, they will see the Peach Blossom Stream. Walking along the stream, there is a large peach forest with "no trees, delicious grass and colorful fallen flowers", exactly as described in Tao Yuanming's article. There is a bridge deep in the peach forest. Not far after crossing the bridge, you can see the ancient cave of the Qin people. After walking dozens of steps into the cave, your eyes will "suddenly open up" and you will see thousands of fields with "flat land" and "houses". "Sudden" Suoranxuan. There is a "Yanzhi Pavilion" next to Qianqiu Pond, which is said to be a place where people from the Peach Blossom Spring entertain fishermen. People also say that the first three people who came here were a man and two women. The man named Li Li was trying to avoid Qin Shihuang from seizing civilian husbands to build the Great Wall; a Guo sister-in-law was trying to avoid Qin Shihuang choosing women to enter the palace; and there was an old mother who was a lonely old man who had lost his son and wife. After the three of them entered the Peach Blossom Spring, they formed a family, had children, and then gradually formed a village. Because it is composed of three surnames, this village is called "Sanhe Village".

According to historical records, this place was famous as a natural scenic spot as early as the Han Dynasty. After the Jin Dynasty, Taochuan Palace and other cultural landscapes were built. Around the Northern Zhou Dynasty, people found that this place was very similar to the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming, so they changed its name to "Peach Blossom Spring". In the Tang Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Spring tourist area of ??more than 40 kilometers from the county seat to Shuixin Bank was officially opened. In the Song Dynasty, a huge building complex was formed from the banks of the Yuan River to Taohua Mountain. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by fire at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was revived in the early Ming Dynasty and burned down by fire in the late Ming Dynasty. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Yu Liangdong, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, rebuilt Tao Yuanming's ancestral hall and arranged pavilions along the mountain: Wenjin Pavilion, Yanzhi Pavilion, Qiong Lin Bridge, Shuiyuan Pavilion, Huoran Pavilion, Gaoju Pavilion, Xunqi Pavilion, Jichu Pavilion , Wenlu Bridge, etc. are all named after "Peach Blossom Spring". Its appearance has been preserved to this day.

Today we visited Peach Blossom Spring, and there were even more scenic spots, including the so-called "Eight Inner Scenes", namely Lanchuan Island, Taohua Stream, Yuxian Bridge, Qinren Cave, Hollow Cedar, Mounting Pine, and Alchemy Platform , Tunding Pond, etc. There are also the so-called "Eight Outer Scenic Spots", namely Taoyuan Fairyland, Tongfang Evening Ferry, Zhangjiang River Moonlight, Xunyang Ancient Temple, Luo Qing's Paintings, Chushan Chunxiao, Meixi Misty Rain and White Horse Snow Waves. Every scene has an interesting story. Taking "Lanchuanzhou" as an example, it is said that the Wuling fisherman who discovered the Peach Blossom Spring was named Huang Daozhen. He tied his boat with a cable at the entrance of Peach Blossom Mountain, then entered the Peach Blossom Spring and lived there for a few days. , came to the ferry again, and saw that the boat was rotten. It turned out to be "Seven days in the mountains, and a thousand years in the world." Therefore, this place was called "Banchuanzhou".

==============

Tao Yuanming, the great poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once described a peach blossom garden that the world longed for in "The Peach Blossom Spring". According to According to research, it is located in Taoyuan County, Changde City, northern Hunan.

Taohuayuan was first built in the Jin Dynasty and reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was destroyed by wars in the Yuan Dynasty and began to revive after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Throughout the ages, great writers such as Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Han Yu, and Su Shi have all visited here and left their calligraphy treasures. At present, Taohuayuan Scenic Area has developed Taoxian Ridge, Taoyuan Mountain, Taohua Mountain, Qinren Village and other scenic spots. The area of ??the scenic area has reached more than 150 square kilometers. There are also Yuanjiang Scenic Line, Warring States Cailing City Ruins, Reshi Hot Spring, etc. tour. If you are not interested in those newly built pavilions and pavilions, you can at least enjoy the peaceful pastoral scenery... >>

Question 2: Who is the author of Peach Blossom Spring? Where does it come from? "The Peach Blossom Spring" is one of the representative works of Tao Yuanming, a scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is the preface to "Poems of the Peach Blossom Spring".

Question 3: Where was Tao Yuanming’s Peach Blossom Spring written? It was in Yixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. In the past, the only way to get to Yixian County was through the Taoyuan Cave except following the river flow. Later, in 1955, Because Xiu blew up Taoyuan Cave, there are still Taoyuan Cave ruins on the roadside.

Yi County is also known as the Peach Blossom Spring. It is now a strong tourism county in Anhui Province, and many literati tourists come here because of its reputation.

Li Bai also visited here many times and wrote many poems to praise the beauty of Yixian County. One of them is "Questions and Answers in the Mountains": Asking me why I live in the green mountains, I smile but don't answer my heart. idle.

Question 5: From where in Peach Blossom Spring can we see that Peach Blossom Spring is a fictitious story. The governor sent people to follow him to find his way, but he became lost and could no longer find the way. Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble scholar, heard about it and went there happily, but failed and ended up seeking illness. After that, no one cared.

The last two sentences in the article are all about the general idea that later people were sent to search for the Peach Blossom Spring, but they could not find it. Among them, the two sentences "unsuccessful, the search for illness ends" and "no one cares about it afterwards" are particularly clear. After searching for a long time, I could not find it, and no one mentioned the Peach Blossom Spring again. This implies that it does not exist at all and is only imagined.

Question 6: Where is the "Peach Blossom Spring" in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring"? Where are the "Wuling" people in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" from? The "Peach Blossom Spring" in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" is located in what is now Taoyuan County, Changde City, Hunan Province. The "Wuling" people in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" refer to the people in the upper and middle reaches of the Yuanshui River Basin today, that is to say, the people of "Wuling County" in history.

"The Peach Blossom Spring" is one of Tao Yuanming's masterpieces. It was written about the second year of Yongchu (421) and depicts a paradise. Taking the whereabouts of Wuling fishermen in and out of the Peach Blossom Spring as clues, it depicts a society where there is no class, no exploitation, self-reliance, self-sufficiency, peace and tranquility, and everyone can enjoy themselves. According to an article "Wuling Regional Research" in "Wuling Treasures" by Mr. Zhou Xinguo, a local historian in Changde, Hunan and a member of the China Collectors Association: "Wuling is the second administrative division in the history of Changde. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wuling The county governs the counties in the Yuanshui River Basin. "

"Wuling Regional Research"

--This article is excerpted from "Wuling Treasures - Illustrated History and Culture of the Yuanli River Basin"

Wuling County is the second administrative division in the history of Changde. The earliest administrative division here was called "Qianzhong County". "Shui Jing Zhu? Yuanshui" says: "In the second year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (205 BC), central Guizhou was divided and ruled as Wuling County." In the Western Han Dynasty, Wuling was also called "Yiling". Liu Yuxi's "Wuling Shuhuai Fifty Rhymes" preface: "Chang Lin's "Yiling Ji" says: In the early days, Xiang Ji killed Emperor Yi in Chen, and the people of Wuling said: "The world is in pity for Chu and is prosperous. Now you can see what crime my king has committed." "Killing?" The people of the county were crying in Zhaoqu Pavilion. Emperor Gaozu heard about it, so he also called it Yiling. There is a clear record in the Chronicle. The area under the jurisdiction of Wuling County in the Western Han Dynasty, according to the "Hanshu Geography", governs 13 counties: Suo, Chiling, Linyuan, Lingling, Yuanling, Tancheng, Wuyang, Qianling, Chenyang, and You Yang, Yiling, Genshan, Chong. Among them, there are 4 counties in today's Changde area: Suo County, which includes today's Hanshou County and the northeastern part of Dingcheng District. Suo County is the earliest county established in Han Shou in the literature. Linyuan County includes present-day Wuling District, most of Dingcheng District and Taoyuan County, and its administrative city is located in the eastern part of present-day Changde City. "Shui Jing Zhu? Yuanshui" says that Linyuan is named because "the south of the county is adjacent to Yuanshui." Xiaoling County includes part of today's Li County and Jin City, Anxiang, Nanxian, Huarong, Yueyang and The Hubei Public Security Bureau governs the city. Lingyang County included present-day Cili, Shimen, Linli and part of Li County. The city was governed in Lingyang Township, Cili, so it was named because it was located in the north of Lingshui.

During the reign of Xin Mang, the names of counties and counties in the world were changed. Wuling County was changed to Jianping County, Linyuan County was changed to Jianyuan County, and Chiling County was changed to Chilu County. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu changed the names of counties and counties changed by Wang Mang back to their original names one by one. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the jurisdiction of Wuling County in the Eastern Han Dynasty was basically the same as that in the Western Han Dynasty, with 12 counties under its jurisdiction: Linyuan, Hanshou, Xiaoling, Lianyang, Chong, Yuanling, Chenyang, Youyang, Qianling, Dancheng, Yuannan, and Tang Dynasty. Among them, 5 counties are within today's Changde area: Linyuan County, which governs most of today's Wuling District, Dingcheng District and part of Taoyuan, and is also the seat of Wuling County; Hanshou County, formerly Suo County in the Western Han Dynasty, was called Suo County during most of the Eastern Han Dynasty Suo County was renamed Hanshou in the third year of Yangjia (134) in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and governed the northeastern part of today's Dingcheng District and Hanshou; Yuannan County was divided into Linyuan County in the Western Han Dynasty in the twenty-sixth year of Jianwu (50) It was newly established and governed the southern part of present-day Taoyuan and other places. It was named because it was south of Yuanshui River and was the predecessor of present-day Taoyuan County; Township, Jin City and part of Li County. The Tang Dynasty was the beginning of the independent establishment of counties in today's Anxiang history; Lingyang County, the same as Lingyang County in the Western Han Dynasty, governed present-day Cili, Shimen, Linli and part of Li County.

The administrative center of Wuling County in the Eastern Han Dynasty was located in Linyuan (now the urban area of ??Changde City), according to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Chronicles of the County and States". Since then, the administrative offices of Wuling County, Langzhou in Tang Dynasty, Dingzhou in Song Dynasty, Changde Road in Yuan Dynasty, and Changde Prefecture in Ming and Qing Dynasties have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wuling County was established along it, but its jurisdiction was reduced and only governed the counties in the Yuanshui River Basin. During the Xiaoliang period of the Southern Dynasty, Wuling County was established as Wuzhou. "Book of the Sui Dynasty - Geography": "Wuling County, Liang established Wuzhou." In the late Chen Dynasty, Wuzhou was changed to "Yuanzhou". "Chen Shu? Xuan Emperor Ji" records: "In the seventh year of Taijian (575), Wuzhou was changed to Yuanzhou." According to "Sui Shu? Geography" in the ninth year of Kaihuang (589), after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Chen was abolished in Yuanzhou, which was established by Wuling County, was renamed "Langzhou". However, in the third year of Emperor Yang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (607), Langzhou was renamed Wuling County. The original four counties (Linyuan, Yuannan, Hanshou, and Longyang) under the jurisdiction of Wuling County in the Chen Dynasty were merged into two counties in the Sui Dynasty. Linyuan, Yuannan, and Hanshou will be merged into "Wuling County". This is the initial setting of Wuling County in history. Longyang County is still the same. Therefore, in the Sui Dynasty, Wuling County only governed two counties: Wuling County and Long...>>
