Tips

culture

田园 is closely associated with 田园诗 (pastoral poetry), a major genre in Chinese literature exemplified by the Eastern Jin poet Tao Yuanming (陶渊明, 365-427 AD). His idyllic poems about rural life and his famous 桃花源记 (Peach Blossom Spring) shaped the Chinese ideal of pastoral retreat from society.
