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.
Hanji 150 part 4 uses Tao Yuanming differently, as a contrast in the host’s argument about 入世政治修行. The source criticizes the posture of withdrawing after frustration and uses Tao as part of a broader comparison to 陈平, whose value is presented as staying inside the political field instead of leaving it for personal clarity or literary purity.
