Tao Yuanming once wrote a unique biography article, using Tao Qian's own situation to express his own character and interests. It was the first step in our country's literature to be a literary biography. Tao Qianxu was a writer, ideologist and politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His literary achievements were extremely outstanding and he was hailed as a "literary sage"; his profound political thinking was hailed as a "Daoist"; his unique philosophy of life was hailed as a "hermit". In Tao Yuanming's biography, he described himself as an introverted hermit who liked nature and pursued freedom and ideals. He believed that one should pursue spiritual freedom and inner satisfaction in life instead of distorting oneself for external honor and power. Tao Yuanming's biography also emphasized his moral cultivation and philosophy of life. He believed that the meaning of life was to pursue truth, morality, and beauty rather than material enjoyment and interests. He advocated "governing by inaction" and advocated that people should give up the temptation of power and interests and pursue inner peace and freedom. Tao Yuanming's biographies have a unique literary style and depth of thought, which has made an important contribution to the development of Chinese literature.
