For aimportant constituent part of Tao Yuanming literature,“He tao ci”hasn’t receive much attention. And in the overseas study of Tao Yuanming,“He tao ci” is also difficult in comparison with “He tao shi”.

The responsing to Tao Yuanming is a important culturalphenomenon in Korea’s literary world. As for “He tao ci”, there areas many as400articles. But the study about “He tao ci” in South Koreais also scanty.Tao Yuanming entered the Korean Peninsula during the period of Xinluofor the first time, because of the literature exchanges between China andKorea.

This study not only could detect the creation tendency andliterary meaning of native Korean literati, but also could get acomprehensive understanding about the acceptance and criticism of foreignculture by Korean literati and the social background to which creates theliterary atmosphere. It has important meaning to the research of Chineseand foreign literature of Tao Yuanming.
