But whatever additions, omissions or changes the author makes to embellish the original significance of fairyland, and although unlike the realms described in earlier works the utopian Peach-Blossom Spring is not filled with the drifting strains of fairy music, the basic form of the story clearly still does not depart from the formula of a chance encounter with a fairy realm.
但不論作者個人如何增損變造，將仙境原有的意義潤飾，桃花源、烏托邦雖然不再仙樂飄飄處處聞，故事模式顯然還是脫不了仙鄉奇遇。
