Farming during the day, good performance at night, the children in the village mind their own business.
Although the children don't plow and weave, they also learn a kind of melon in the shade of mulberry trees.

Weeding in the fields during the day and rubbing hemp at home at night, both men and women in the village have their own household affairs. Although the children can't plow and weave, they have learned to grow melons in the shade of mulberry trees.
The author of Passing the Old Village is Meng Haoran, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. The full text of ancient poetry is as follows:
This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm.
Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city.
Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops.
Please come here to see chrysanthemums when the ninth festival comes.

My old friend prepared yellow rice and chicken and invited me to his farmhouse. Green trees surround the small village surrounded by green hills. Open the window and face the threshing floor and vegetable garden. We raised our glasses to talk about the growth of crops this year. Wait until the Double Ninth Festival, and I'll come and taste chrysanthemum wine with you.
