陶渊明 / Tao Yuanming

陶渊明 / Tao Yuanming enters this wiki branch through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》115-2｜秦王大难不死之后干了件你不知道的事？ as the poet whose 《咏荆轲》 becomes the episode’s main example of 荆轲’s later literary afterlife. The source invokes the poem after narrating the failed assassination, making Tao Yuanming part of the shift from event history to memory.

The page is source-scoped. It records that the episode uses Tao Yuanming to show how Jing Ke could remain emotionally powerful even though the mission failed and 燕国 did not survive the pressure from 秦国. In this reading, the poem preserves a late memory of侠义 more than it offers new evidence about the assassination’s mechanics.
