The poem "On the River in Autumn Evening" describes birds, the setting sun, reeds and other scenes, and paints a picture of a riverside at dusk in autumn.
The poem describes what the poet saw at dusk in autumn. This scene is like a painting, but the things in the painting are moving, not static. "The returning birds, even though they are tired, still carry the setting sun back with them." The tired birds want to return to their nests. By this time, it was getting late. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the back and wings of the flying birds, as if it is carrying the setting sun back to the nest.
The whole poem is rich in the sentiment of old poetry. With just a few strokes, it outlines a beautiful picture of movement in silence and full of sound and color. At the same time, it has the poet's own style, just like the last line. In these two sentences, the reed is personified through "makeup" and "beautiful face", adding some interest and vitality to the whole poem.
Creative background
In the 1920s, poets who wrote new poetry were greatly influenced by old poetry, so the new poetry at that time had a strong style of old poetry. Except that they are expressed in vernacular, the artistic conception and expression techniques of poems are often not much different from those of old poems. This was a major feature of poetry at that time.
The same is true for Liu Dabai. Although he wanted to write pure vernacular poetry, the rhythm of this poem still followed the original requirements of classical poetry, so it can still be seen that it was influenced by old poetry. traces of influence. "Autumn Evening on the River" was created under this environment.
