【摘要】 在陶渊明仕隐的问题上，学界的主流看法是，青少年时代的陶渊明胸怀大志，有强烈的事功追求，后来的几次入仕都是想要做一番事业，但由于官场黑暗，他的政治抱负无法实现，遂归隐田园。这样的看法恐怕是不对的。首先，陶渊明现存作品中几乎没有表达自己想要建功立业的作品，少数被学者引来证明有事功追求的作品多出于误读；其次，从陶渊明现存作品看，中年以后陶渊明的人生理想是过潇洒闲逸、自由自在的田园生活，对于官场生活是拒绝的，不存在强烈的事功意识；其三，从陶渊明中年以后的几次仕隐经历看，他出仕的最主要原因是为贫而仕，并无实现政治抱负的动机；其四，中年以后的陶渊明没有强烈事功追求的特点，可以追溯到他的青少年时代。更多还原

【Abstract】 On the issue of Tao Yuanming’s seclusion, the prevailing view in the academia is that he was ambitious and had strong motivation for career success since he was a teenager. In his later years, he entered the government several times trying to make a career. However, due to the darkness of the official circles, his political ambition could not be realized. Consequently, he resigned to the countryside. Such a view is not correct. First, the expression of the desire of building a career is rarely found in Tao Yuanming’s extant works. The few works cited by scholars to prove that he had a strong view of merits, which in fact is not well supported by literature, are mostly misinterpreted. Second, judging from Tao’s extant works, his ideal of life after middle age was to live an easy and idyllic life. He completely rejected officialdom and had no career intention. Third, from the viewpoint of Tao’s several experiences of service and seclusion after his middle age, the most important reason for him to take an official post was to serve for the poor, rather than pursuing political aspiration. The main reason for his retreat is that he felt he was fettered in officialdom, physically and mentally, and lost his freedom. Fourth, Tao’s personality of weak political ambition could be traced back to his adolescence.更多还原
