The Humanities of Chongqing | How many Peach Blossom Springs do you have in your heart?

There are two Peach Blossom Springs in the world, one in your heart, and the other in Youyang, Chongqing. More than 1600 years ago, Tao Yuanming wrote 'The Peach Blossom Spring', leaving behind a utopia that people have longed for ever since. Since then, Peach Blossom Spring has been hidden in ancient poetry, hidden in everyone's heart. Come and see, does this place really match the heavenly realm described by Tao Yuanming in your imagination? Excerpt from 'The Peach Blossom Spring' Eastern Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming During the Taiyuan years of the Jin Dynasty, two fishermen from Wuling made their living by fishing. They traveled along a stream, forgetting how far they had gone. Suddenly, they came upon a forest of peach blossoms, which stretched for hundreds of steps along the bank. There were no other trees, only fragrant grass and beautiful flowers scattered in profusion. The fishermen were very surprised and continued to explore deeper into the forest, wanting to see its full extent. At the end of the forest, a spring appeared, and beyond it was a mountain with a small opening that seemed to emit light. They left their boat and entered through the opening. At first, it was extremely narrow, just wide enough for one person to pass. After walking dozens of steps, they suddenly found themselves in a bright and open area. The land was flat and spacious, with houses neatly arranged, and there were good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboo. Paths crisscrossed, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard. People were coming and going, working the land, and the men and women were dressed just like people from the outside world. The elderly with their white hair and the children with their hair hanging down were all content and happy.
