烏托邦世界 Utopia

utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities. Utopian ideals often place emphasis on egalitarian principles of equality in economicsgovernment and justice, though by no means exclusively, with the method and structure of proposed implementation varying based on ideology.

Thomas More

More's best known and most controversial work, Utopia is a novel written in Latin. More completed and Erasmus published the book in Leuven in 1516, but it was only translated into English and published in his native land in 1551, and the 1684 translation became the most commonly cited.

Utopia contrasts the contentious social life of European states with the perfectly orderly, reasonable social arrangements of Utopia and its environs. In Utopia, there are no lawyers because of the laws' simplicity and because social gatherings are in public view , communal ownership supplants private property, men and women are educated alike, and there is almost complete religious toleration. More may have used monastic communalism as his model, although other concepts such as legalizing euthanasia remain far outside Church doctrine.

桃花源記

復行數十步,豁然開朗。土地平曠,屋舍儼然。有良田美池桑竹之屬,阡陌交通,雞犬相聞。其中往來種作,男女衣著,悉如外人﹔黃發垂髫,并怡然自樂。見漁人,乃大驚,問所從來,具答之,便要還家,設洒殺雞作食,村中聞有此人,咸來問訊。自云先世避秦時亂,率妻子邑人,來此絕境,不復出焉﹔遂與外人間隔。問今是何世,乃不知有漢,無論魏、晉。此人一一為具言所聞,皆嘆惋。余人各復延至其家,皆出洒食。
