Tips

culture
高鼎's poem, a late Qing piece that every Chinese schoolchild learns: 草长莺飞二月天,拂堤杨柳醉春烟。儿童散学归来早,忙趁东风放纸鸢。 'Grass grows and orioles fly in the second month; willows brushing the dikes are drunk on the spring mist. The children come home early from school and hurry to fly their kites on the east wind.'
usage
As an ordinary word, 村居 means living in a village, or a village home, as in 村居生活 'village life'.
