Abstract: There are about 130 writings handed down from Tao Yuan-ming with leisureness and simpleness as his main style. The homour sparkled in his writings has been noticed before. Through the close reading of his five writings (Sloping drinking, Blaming sons, Drinking ?theFifth, Mr.FiveWillows biography and Elegy), this paper intends to talk about the unique humour of Tao Yuanming from the perspectives of writing, aesthetics and psychology so as to have a view of the diversity of his writing style, the complexity of his spirit world and the nobleness of his thoughts.
