Tao Yuanming, a famous writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), wrote the well-known essay Peach-Blossom Spring. In it he tells a story which goes like this: A fisherman happened to come upon a place called Peach-Blossom Spring. Squeezing through a cave, he found a village, the residents of which were descendants of refugees from the Qin Dynasty. It was a paradise isolated2 from the outside world, without exploitation or oppression, and everybody living and working in peace and contentment（满足） . The fisherman left the villagers and went home. But he could never find the peace again.
This idiom is derived3 from the above story, and it is used to mean an isolate1, ideal world.
