Tao Yuanming;Historical background ;Jiankang （建康） was to grow into a thriving metropolis, the world’s most populated city in the early sixth century, with a population twice that of Constantinople, and, above all, a dazzling cultural and intellectual center that lasted until a northern dynasty, the Sui, united China in 589 and ordered the city razed to the ground. 六朝时期的建康城是世界上第一个人口超过百万的城市，以建康为代表的南朝文化，与西方的古罗马被称为人类古典文明的两大中心，在人类历史上产生了极其深远的影响。建康城规模极其庞大，以建康皇宫（建康台城）为中心，无外郭城，东西各四十里，人口众多。 The south, for the first time in Chinese history, ceased being a periphery to the heartland in the Yellow River valley. ;The wide use of paper: By the fourth century, paper was becoming the most important writing medium.
