Tips

culture
The whole poem: 故人具鸡黍,邀我至田家。绿树村边合,青山郭外斜。开轩面场圃,把酒话桑麻。待到重阳日,还来就菊花。 'My old friend prepared chicken and millet and invited me to his farm. Green trees close around the village; blue hills slope beyond the town wall. We open the window onto the threshing floor and the garden, and over wine we talk of mulberry and hemp. When the Double Ninth comes, I will be back for the chrysanthemums.'
usage
过 in the title means 'to call on', not 'to pass'.
