English Original
Tao Yuanming, a renowned writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), authored the famous essay Peach-Blossom Spring. It narrates the tale of a fisherman who accidentally discovers a hidden land of the same name. After squeezing through a narrow cave, he finds a village inhabited by descendants of refugees from the Qin Dynasty. This place is a paradise isolated from the outside world, free from exploitation and oppression, where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. After leaving, the fisherman could never find his way back to this idyllic world.
This idiom, derived from the story, refers to an isolated, ideal world or utopia.

东晋（317-420年）著名文学家陶渊明创作了名篇《桃花源记》。文中讲述了一位渔夫偶然发现一处名为“桃花源”的隐秘之地。他穿过一个狭窄的山洞后，发现了一个村庄，居民是秦朝避难者的后代。这个地方是一个与世隔绝的（isolated） 天堂，没有剥削和压迫，人人安居乐业，生活满足（contentment）。渔夫离开后，却再也无法寻回这个理想世界。
这个成语源自（derived） 上述故事，用来指代一个与世隔绝的（isolated）、理想的世界或乌托邦。
