From a five-rhythm poem by Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "Passing by the Old Village". It's about a poet visiting an old friend in the country. In the simple and natural pastoral scenery, the host and guest drank a toast at home, talking and laughing happily, expressing the sincere friendship between the poet and his friends. At first glance, this poem seems as plain as water. Deliberate, like an idyllic Chinese painting, perfectly blends scenery, events and feelings, and has a strong artistic appeal.
1, crossing the old village
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.

Overall appreciation
This is an idyllic poem, describing the quiet and leisurely life scene of farmers and the friendship of old friends. By writing about the scenery of rural life, I wrote the author's yearning for this kind of life. The whole text rhymes. Poetry is written down from "invitation" to "arrival" to "hope" and "appointment", which is naturally smooth. The language is unpretentious and the artistic conception is fresh and meaningful. The author wrote the process from visit to farewell in kind and clean language, such as home-style form. His rural scenery is fresh and quiet, his friendship with friends is sincere and profound, and his family life is simple and cordial.
The whole poem depicts the beautiful mountain village scenery and quiet rural life, with plain language, natural and smooth narration and no traces of rendering and carving. However, it has sincere feelings and mellow poetry, and has the aesthetic interest of "clear water produces hibiscus, which is naturally carved", so it has become a masterpiece in pastoral poetry since the Tang Dynasty.
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.
"Prepare chicken and rice for me, old friend. You entertain me on your farm." This beginning is like a note in a diary. The old friend "invited" and the author "arrived", and the text was not rendered. Come straight to the point and come at once, simply and casually. This is just a possible form between friends who don't need to be polite. The invitation of "chicken and millet" not only shows the unique flavor of Tianjia, but also shows the simplicity of hospitality. It is this kind of hospitality without ceremony and ostentation and extravagance that makes the hearts of friends more open to each other. This beginning is not very focused, calm and natural, but it is an excellent introduction to the content of life to be developed, showing the characteristics of the atmosphere, which needs to be further enriched and developed below.
