Original text
晋太元中、武陵人捕鱼为业。缘溪行、忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林。夹岸数百步、中无杂树、芳草鲜美、落英缤纷。渔人甚异之。复前行、欲穷其林。林尽水源、便得一山。山有小口、髣髴若有光。便舍船、从口入。初极狭、才通人。复行数十步、豁然开朗。土地平旷、屋舍俨然。有良田、美池、桑竹之属。阡陌交通、鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作、男女衣着、悉如外人。黄发垂髫、并怡然自乐。见渔人、乃大惊。问所从来、具答之。便要还家、设酒杀鸡作食。村中闻有此人、咸来问讯。自云先世避秦时乱、率妻子邑人、来此绝境、不复出焉、遂与外人间隔。问今是何世、乃不知有汉、无论魏晋。此人一一为具言、所闻皆叹惋。余人各复延至其家、皆出酒食。停数日、辞去。此中人语云、不足为外人道也。既出、得其船、便扶向路、处处志之。及郡下、诣太守说如此。太守即遣人随其往、寻向所志、遂迷不复得路。南阳刘子骥、高尚士也、闻之、欣然规往、未果、寻病终。后遂无问津者。 桃源人要自与尘俗相去万里、不必问其为仙为隐。靖节当晋衰乱时、超然有高举之思、故作记以寓志、亦归去来辞之意也。
