Autumn Night on the River is the work of modern poet Liu Dabai 1923, which is included in the collection of poems "Kiss by Mail" by Mingkai Bookstore 1926. From the overall framework, this poem adopts the popular style of small poems at that time, with small descriptions, concise outlines, prose sentence patterns and improvisation, and depicts a scene of the riverside in autumn evening.
Original works:
On the river in autumn night, the homing birds, though tired, carry the sunset on their backs. Flap your wings and set the sunset on the river; Reed with white heads has also been made into beautiful moments.
Notes on works:
Sunset: The sun that sets before dusk. Whitehead: anthropomorphic means that the top of reed is white. Reed: A tall grass with creeping rhizomes, broad flat leaves and large brush panicles, widely distributed in wet areas and used for making mats, curtains and grids. Beauty: This refers to a woman's beautiful face.
In the 1920s, poets who wrote new poems were greatly influenced by old poems, so all the new poems at that time had a strong style of old poems. In addition to writing in vernacular, the artistic conception and expression of poetry are often not much different from those of old poems. This is a major feature of poetry at that time.
The same is true of Liu Dabai. Although he tried to write a pure vernacular poem, this poem still followed the original requirements of classical poetry in terms of meter, so we can still see the traces of its influence from old poems. "Autumn Night on the River" was created in this environment.
This poem adopts the popular poem style at that time from the overall framework. Small description, concise outline, prose sentence pattern and improvisation all show the style of Tagore and Japanese haiku. Liu Dabai pays attention to the combination of emotion and scenery in his description of nature. This is the so-called combination of poetry and painting, and the blending of scenes in old poems.
