It opens 暮从碧山下，山月随人归。却顾所来径，苍苍横翠微。 'At dusk I came down the green mountain, and the mountain moon followed me home. I looked back at the path I had come by: dark green haze lay across the slopes.' The hermit leads him to his farmhouse, where they drink and sing until both forget the cares of the world. The poem is in 唐诗三百首.
usage
The title tells the whole evening: 下 'came down' 终南山, 过 'called on' the hermit, 宿 'stayed the night', and he 置酒 'set out wine'. 斛斯 is a rare two-character surname, and 山人 'mountain man' was a polite word for a recluse.
