What do you mean, "It feels like today is not yesterday"?

It's not too late to fix the future.

"Come home to Xi Ci" is a lyric poem by Tao Yuanming, a writer in the Jin and Song Dynasties, and it is also a declaration of resigning from his post and returning home. This article was written at the beginning of the author's resignation, describing his life interest and inner feelings after his resignation, showing his understanding of officialdom and thinking about life, and expressing his spiritual understanding of leading an honest and clean life.

By describing specific scenes and activities, the work creates a quiet, comfortable, pleasant and natural artistic conception, and entrusts his life ideal. The language is simple, expressive, ingenious and refined, with sincere feelings, far-reaching artistic conception and strong appeal. The structural arrangement is rigorous and thorough, the prose sequence focuses on narration, and the verse and fu are full of lyricism, each performing its own duties, becoming a "double beauty" trend.

This poem is not only a sign of Tao Yuanming's turning point in life, but also the peak of his recluse consciousness in the history of China literature. The full text describes the author's situation on his way home and after his arrival, and envisages his future seclusion, thus expressing the author's dislike of officialdom and longing for rural life at that time. On the other hand, it also reveals the poet's negative thought of "being happy to know life".

Orderliness before resignation is an excellent essay. From "I come from a poor family" to "I seek for it because of my poor family", I briefly describe my tortuous experience of being an official because of my poor family. Among them, "relatives and friends advised Yu to be an official, but he was pregnant" and "Peng Ze went home for a hundred miles, and the benefits of the commons were enough, so he asked for it", which wrote the joy and yearning he had when he was an official in the past, showing the simplicity of the poet's nature. From the second half of Jishaori to Ye Si in November, I wrote down the reasons why I decided to abandon my official position and return to the field.

"Nature is natural, but the income is not excessive", which is the fundamental reason for abandoning officials. After several official careers, the poet knows that "self-service" is to lose himself and "be deeply ashamed of his lifelong ambition". Therefore, "hunger and freezing are all cut", and we are never willing to "fight against ourselves and get sick". Although the language is gentle, the will is as firm as a rock and there is no turning back. As for the "self-termination" because of the loss of my sister, it is only a superficial reason. The preface is a reflection on the road of the first half of life; Ci is the imagination and yearning for a new life when he left the officialdom at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty.
