Xizhou Song is a masterpiece of Yuefu folk songs in the Southern Dynasties. The writing time and background are inconclusive. On the one hand, it is a folk song that originated in Liang Dynasty and was included in Yuefu poetry collection at that time. On the other hand, it was written by Jiang Yan and contained in Xu Ling's Yutai New Poetry.
Another way of saying it is that it was written by Liang Wudi and Xiao Yan in a collection of ancient poems written by Ming and Qing dynasties. However, there is not enough evidence to show when and by whom this poem was written for thousands of years, and it has been difficult to form a conclusion in the chaos.
