Reading Tao Yuan-ming\'s \"Homeward Bound speech\", they thought of the troubled times of the wise and the hermit, in the advances and retreats in the struggle of contradictions, wandering situation. Mingwei shallow in the human environment, the number of people rounded the edges and corners, loss of individuality and self. But there are many people struggling with life, not to change maverick mettle and frankness. Tao is the case with their own backbone to stick to the spiritual world.
Tao lives in the social unrest of the Eastern Jin Liu Song Yi on behalf of the occasion, has done Jiangzhou Jijiu, Huanxuan aides, the town Junqiang Jun Liu Yu\'s join the army, Jian-Wei Liu Jingxuan\'s join the army generals, Peng magistrate, was born Crown of Thirteen years. Affected by the impact of Confucianism, the Tao is a cherished tradition of helping young ideal, \"Memories I have little ambition, no music from the Yan-yu. Meng Shiitsu the whole world, Qian Zhu Siyuan quill.\" In this poem, we can feel Tao The tradition of helping to serve the country\'s pride.
However, after entering political stratum of 13 years, Tao\'s ideas have changed. , He is with the common people\'s desire to save the world official, but he has his assistant, one of the regime is a farce staged the rulers of a struggle for power. Internal bureaucratic strife and struggle for \"little vulgar without proper rhyme,\" he unbearable. So he wrote \"Homeward Bound speech\", declaring a clean break with the bureaucratic life, and has since started the Hermitage life.
Tao Yuan-ming was critical of the Hermitage is the escapist negative behavior. However, I do not think so. Tao Yuan-ming did not get away from the real life and become a hermit nihilism. Instead, he is more truly loved their own lives. This is also for thousands of years people are one of the reasons for his obsession. He Shinong crops into weeds, like remove the extra lines like removed from the earth. Then he write poetry. Because in his own words above, under the foot of the nutrients, so those lines that are always very lush growth. His poetry does not belong to the season, but only part time. Thus, his poetry has become in our culture fengren harvest.
In fact, the Tao is only exit from the career, there is no exit from life. Or that he was withdrawing from a career, and turned back to the more personal daily lives. This is the true Tao Tao Yuan-ming. Only by placing ourselves in a real way in our lives we have probably become the most true to himself. Prior to this, we may be only some kind of distortion, or nothing. At any time, regardless of any age, people alive, I should live free. The Tao with his choice and insisted for us to create a real value of life of their own image.
Secular point of view, Tao Yuan-ming\'s life is \"haggard\" in. But ultra-secular point of view, his life was very artistic. Tao Yuan-ming in their own troubled stick, flutter in the sky a Duxing to complete the release of the pursuit of individuality, which insists on the honesty and transparency in the real life, leaves us with the endless emotion.
In fact, precisely because of the life of toil and short, so cherish their lives should adhere to a transparent life, the pursuit of true individuality, to maintain freedom of the soul. Otherwise, even if the \"survival of the fittest\", that\'s life, what is the significance of this?
读陶渊明的《归去来兮辞》,就想到了这位乱世中的智者与隐者，在进与退的矛盾中斗争、徘徊的情形。在人命危浅的环境里多少人磨圆了棱角，丧失了个性与自我。但也有不少人一生挣扎，仍不改特立独行的秉性与率真。陶渊明就是如此骨气地坚守着自己的精神世界。
陶渊明生活在社会动荡不安的东晋刘宋易代之际，先后做过江州祭酒，桓玄的幕僚，镇军将军刘裕的参军，建威将军刘敬宣的参军，彭泽县令，出世为官共十三年。受儒家思想的影响，年少的陶渊明是怀有济世理想的，“忆我少壮志，无乐自欣豫。猛志逸四海，骞翮思远翥。”从这首诗中，我们可以感受到陶渊明济世报国的豪情。
但是，入仕后的13年里，陶渊明的思想发生了变化。他本是怀着济世苍生的愿望来做官的，但是他先后辅佐的政权却一个个上演着统治者争权夺利的丑剧。官场内部的倾轧和斗争让“少无适俗韵”的他难以忍受。于是他写了《归去来兮辞》，宣告与官场生活的彻底决裂，并从此开始了归隐的生活。

有人批判陶渊明的归隐是逃避现实的消极行为。然而，我并不这么认为。陶渊明并没有从现实生活中抽身退出，成为一个虚无主义的隐士。相反，他更加真实地热爱着自己的生活。这也是千百年来人们对他念念不忘的原因之一。他侍弄庄稼，把杂草像删除多余的诗句似的从大地上除去。然后他又写诗。由于他在自己的文字上面下足了养料，所以那些诗行总是生长得很茂盛。他的诗不属于季节，而只属于时间。因此，他的诗成为了我们文化中丰稔的收获。
其实，陶渊明只是从仕途中退出，并没有从生活中退出。或者说，他从仕途中退出，转身回到了更加个人化的生活当中。这样的陶渊明才是真正的陶渊明。只有我们置身于一种真实地生活之中，我们才有可能成为最真实地自己。在此之前，我们也许只是某种变形，或者说什么也不是。无论什么时候，无论任何年代，人活着，就应该活出自我。而陶渊明用他的选择和坚持为我们塑造了一个真正属于自己生命价值的形象。
以世俗的眼光来看，陶渊明的一生是“枯槁”的。但以超俗的眼光来看，他的一生却是很艺术的。陶渊明以自己困境中的坚守，振翅于一个独醒的天空，完成了对个性追求的释放，坚守着真实的灵魂和透明的人生，留给我们的是无尽的感慨。
其实，正因了人生的劳碌和短暂，所以珍惜生命就应该坚守透明的人生，追求真实的个性，维护自由的灵魂。否则，即便是“适者生存”了，那生命又有什么意义呢？
