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.
