In the West,Utopia is considered to be the ideal of an ideal society and the ultimate pursuit of the development of human society.In China,Taohuayuan is hailed as Oriental Utopia,but it is not a vision of an ideal society but a spiritual home of human beings.It is a common aesthetic ideal.Tao Huayuan's aesthetic ideal comes from the construction of Taohuayuan's mythological world.The prototype of Taohuayuan enters people's spiritual world through the construction of the mythological world,further transforms the spiritual world into aesthetic creation,and gradually consolidates a common aesthetic ideal in the creative practice of ancient literati.It forms an oriental utopia or an aesthetic utopia.The myth of Taohuayuan is not the myth of the ruler's symbol of kingship.It is pastoral and rural.It belongs to the myth of farming culture.Therefore,the story of the people it eulogizes comes from life rather than imagination.The prototype of the Taohuayuan story originates from the reality of the self-preservation of the People's Fort Tsui Fort in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty,as well as the creation of a series of myths and legends such as “Godland”,“Little Chengdu”,and “Yiguangyeye”.Tao Yuanming wrote two texts,"Records" and "Poems," in his creation of "The Peach Blossoms and the Poems." Through the study of the intertextuality between the two,it is concluded that "Notes" is the author's objective description of Tao Huayuan."It is the author's subjective assumption of Taohuayuan.The rich connotation of the two makes the myth of Peach Blossom Source have far-reaching research value.The construction of Peach Blossom Mythology inherited the tradition of excursions in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and appealed to the illusion when the reality was not satisfied.It was the common theme of Tao Huaiyuan and the novel of fairy tales;it shared the individual's thoughts and emotions with the collective people.In pursuit of unity,this is the original creation of Tao Huayuan beyond fairy tales.The article starts in three parts.The first part studies the formation of Taohuayuan myth.First of all,from Tao Yuanming's personal experience,Confucianism and Taoism,social reality background and the author's creative personality and other aspects to explore the origin of Taohuayuan.Secondly,starting from the main contents of "The Peach Blossoms and the Poems",the paper analyzes the process of the formation of the mythical world in the Taohuayuan and the text.The second part studies Tao Yuanming's mythical world.Focusing on Tao Yuanming's creation of the background of the times,the practice of writing,the myth of acceptance and the understanding of the "Shanhai Jing" to study the mythological world formed by Tao Yuanming in his creation,and the influence of Tao Yuanming on myth construction.The third part studies the transformation of the Taohuayuan prototype from mythological world to aesthetic world.First of all,from the contradiction between Tao Yuanming's creative thoughts and personal thoughts,to study the transformation of the Taohuayuan archetype from the mythical world to the spiritual world.Secondly,from the retreat of the Taohuayuan archetypes and the creation of the theme of love,the authors explored the transformation of the Taohuayuan archetype from the spiritual world to the aesthetic world.Finally,in a comparative study with Utopia's themes,themes,ideals,etc.,it was concluded that Taohuayuan is a spiritual Utopia,not a political ideal.
