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 chicken and yellow rice and invited me to his farmhouse. Green trees surround the village, and the green hills outside the village wall are oblique. Open the windows facing the threshing floor and vegetable garden, and we will raise our glasses to talk about the growth of crops this year. Wait until the ninth double ninth festival in September, and I'll come to enjoy chrysanthemums and drink with you.
3 creative background
This poem was written by the author when he lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain in his early years and was invited by an old friend to visit agriculture, describing the joy of rural life. Write a sentence or two on the invitation, "old friend" means it's not the first time to be a guest. Three or four sentences are famous sentences describing the scenery of mountain villages. Surrounded by green trees, the green hills are oblique, just like a faint ink painting. Write five or six sentences about the taste of mountain village life. Facing the garden in the yard, talking about crops with wine is kind and natural, full of life breath. At the end of the two sentences, let's get together on the Double Ninth Festival and write down the depth of friendship. The whole poem depicts the beautiful mountain village scenery and quiet rural life, with simple and fresh language, vivid artistic conception and strong flavor of life, which has become a masterpiece in pastoral poetry since the Tang Dynasty.
The whole poem is as ethereal as a word, neither classical nor crude. Reading it makes people think of simplicity, nature and sincerity, and a warm-hearted friendship emerges from the poem and lasts forever.
