23、五百年,迥然不同。然而,他们都对大自然怀有强烈的敬意,这使他们成为各自时代的有影响力的人物。为了重归自然,两人的生活都发生了戏剧性的转变。陶渊明是东晋的官员,但是对官场生活感到困惑。公元405年,他永远地退出了官场,在现在仍然著名的不愿为“五斗米折腰”那句话中表达了他的不满。在之后的22年里,直到生命的尽头,他躬耕于田野,生活在清贫的农村。我们可以从他的诗歌中看出,尽管生活艰苦,但他从这种简单的生活中成功获得了满足感,并从大自然中获得了乐趣。陶渊明回归大自然是对自己反对的生活方式做出的一种反应,而梭罗则是出于个人的决定而改变自己的生活方式。虽然梭罗过着体面的生活,但他希望活得更简单些。两年两个
24、月零两天,他住在瓦尔登湖边森林里的一间小屋里,专注于自身和写作。他在瓦尔登湖中解释了这样做的原因:“我步入丛林,是因为我希望自由地生活,只面对生活中的基本事实。”两个人都乐于从当下的生活中抽身而退,在平静的生活中寻求与自然和谐的关系。尽管陶渊明和梭罗对待自然的方式不同,但他们的作品都展现了自然的美丽和价值。陶渊明的自然是田野和村庄,换句话说,是田园。他的动物们都是家养的,比如鸡和狗。他描写的平静祥和的生活,与压抑的官场生活形成鲜明对比,是对压抑的官场生活的批判:暧暧远人村,依依墟里烟。狗吠深巷中,鸡鸣桑树颠。梭罗在描述自然时,重点描绘了他周围原野的美丽与纯粹。他全身心投入到观察自然现象中,并在日记中详细地记录了自己的发现。梭罗的写作意在使人们信服,动物和植物就像我们人类一样都有生存和繁荣的权利。我们应该与它们和谐共处,享受大自然的恩赐,正如他在日记中描述的那样:好好度过每一个季节,呼吸新鲜的空气,畅饮美酒,品尝水果,尽情享受这一切。让生活中只有饮食和草药。像陶渊明和梭罗那样,拒绝简单熟悉的事物 转而尝试亲近大自然,这需要相当大的勇气。他们的选择使他们过上了平静而沉思的生活,物质欲望减少了。在当今现代世界里,他们关于简朴生活及与自然和谐相处的思想可能会让我们离获得安乐和满足更近一步。
