	Tao Qian Summary
		T'ao Ch'ien (365-427) was one of China's foremost poets in the five-word shih style, and his influence on subsequent poets was very great.
		T'ao Ch'ien is thus an existentialist: the elegies written on the supposed occasion of his own death are among the most moving poems in the Chinese language.
		T'ao Ch'ien was not recognized as a major poet until the T'ang dynasty.

		Tao Qian’s corpus is the most extensive literary representation of village and farm life from this period.
		By reading Tao Qian’s poetry against concurrent historical and geographical sources, I will show how farming culture in contemporary Jiangzhou influenced Tao Qian’s village life, and how Tao’s poetry can enrich our understanding of daily life in southern villages.
		Ironically, later paintings of Tao Qian rarely show the poet in agrarian settings (see Li Xiang, Zhu Derun, Chen Hongshou and others; a notable exception is Li Gonglin’s "Picture of Tao Yuanming Returning to Seclusion" where Tao is depicted in various village settings).

		Considered emblematic of the national character, Tao Yuanming (also known as Tao Qian, 365?-427 c.e.) is admired for having turned his back on active government service and city life to live a simple rural life of voluntary poverty.
		Tao Yuanming and Manuscript Culture is a study of how this cultural icon was produced and of the elusive traces of another, historical Tao Yuanming behind the icon.
		Her provocative look at the influence of manuscript culture on literary perceptions transcends its immediate subject and has special resonance today, when the transition from print to electronic media is shaking the literary world in a way not unlike the transition from handwritten to print media in medieval China.

	Shitao (Zhu Ruoji): Returning Home (1976.280h) \| Object Page \| Timeline of Art History \| The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The chrysanthemum, the favorite flower of the best-known ancient recluse-poet Tao Qian, was the symbol of reclusion (in another Shitao album of this period, now in the Sackler Collection of the Princeton University Art Museum, Tao Qian smells a chrysanthemum).
		As Shitao prepared to retire, he thought of Tao Qian, just as countless retired poets and painters had before him, and as others would in the centuries to follow.
		Although this poem was written to commemorate an unusual event, the blossoming of plum trees in October, its real subject is the chrysanthemum, which as the perennial late-bloomer symbolizes not only reclusion in itself, but also endurance and integrity, qualities with which the poet would obviously like to identify himself.

	Tao Qian
		Daoist poet Tao Qian (also known as Tao Yuanming) is equally famous for his prose "Preface to the Poem on the Peach Blossom Spring" and for his remarkable poems celebrating a return to nature and an epicurian love of wine.
		He lived in a time of great political instability known as the Six Dynasties period (222 589) and his work expresses the anxiety and weariness that this time produced.
		The great poets of the Tang and Song Dynasties, however, came to treasure Taos poetry for its measured simplicity, its lack of adornment, and for its conscious use of common words.
