About peach blossom forest
The peach blossom forest is the core literary image created by Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in his work "Peach Blossom Spring". The original text constructs a mysterious entrance for fishermen to discover a paradise through the description of "suddenly encountering a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there are no miscellaneous trees, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful". Against the background of political turmoil in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, this image carried the author's sustenance for an ideal society. Its artistic conception of "peach blossoms and flowing water on both sides of the Taiwan Strait" became an important source of inspiration for later generations of artistic creation.
