Why is there a saying of pastoral seclusion?

In recent years, people are eager to live in seclusion in the countryside. In the steel forest of the city, it seems that it is difficult for us to find real sustenance, and more is to live for living. It has become our wish to return to the countryside and to a natural and simple lifestyle. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows:

The first is the avoidance of hostility in real life.

In modern society, everything should be discussed, human feelings value utilization, and the desire for money gives people an illusion: before doing anything, we must measure whether we can bring ourselves benefits or how much benefits. Relatives and friends turned against each other everywhere for financial gain. A person's family status, social status and recognition of others are all measured by money. "Nobody asks you if you are poor in downtown, but you have money and distant relatives in the mountains" is the truest and most helpless portrayal. In this way, people are impetuous. The consequence of impetuousness is endless anxiety.

We want to control our emotions and avoid such anger. How? The first thing that comes to mind is to return to the countryside. Perhaps, the rural life in reality is not what we imagined, but in everyone's heart, there is a rural area of their own: picturesque, simple, harmonious neighbors and kind-hearted.

Secondly, the inertia of traditional consciousness makes it so.

China has been dominated by an agricultural society for thousands of years, and it has not been long since it was transformed into an industrial society. There is a saying that "everyone is a farmer in the five generations", especially parents and grandparents born in the fifties and sixties, who have extremely deep feelings for the countryside. Tang Bohu, a famous scholar in Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple": Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy under the Peach Blossom Temple. Peach Fairy breeds peach trees and drinks them. When you wake up, you just sit under the flowers. When you are drunk, you need to sleep under the flowers. Before and after the flowers, day after day, drunk every year.

Finally, some people yearn for pastoral seclusion, which is a kind of abandonment of themselves.

The pressures in real life make people breathless. Most people choose to face difficulties and live a strong life; There are also a few people who choose to retreat irresponsibly or even give up on themselves. Giving up needs a reason to comfort yourself. The so-called "seclusion" is the best excuse.

We have nowhere to retreat and peace of mind. I believe that all of us will find our initial heart, find our own golden garden and live the life we yearn for. We have nowhere to retreat, no matter in the countryside.
