Robert burns (1759— 1796), a Scottish peasant poet, occupies a particularly important position in the history of English literature. He revived and enriched Scottish folk songs, and his poems are full of music and can be sung. Burns was born in an era when the Scottish nation was facing foreign conquest, so his poems were full of radical ideas of democracy and freedom. Poets live in bankrupt rural areas and have close ties with poor peasants. His poems praised the beauty of his hometown and expressed the simple friendship and love of the workers.

I worked in the fields, and I only went to school for more than two years when I was young. Fortunately, although my father is a hardworking farmer, he also understands the significance of knowledge to children. In the evening, after heavy work, he personally taught Burns grammar and theology. /kloc-After 0/2 years old, Burns continued to study in a village far from home, learning English and beautiful French. He reads widely, astronomy and geography, and literature of various countries.
1783, Burns began to write poems. A collection of poems mainly written in Scottish dialect was published in 1786, including excellent Scottish Bixing poems such as Two Dogs, A Red Rose, To Mice, To Daisies in the Mountains, To Lice, A Bitter Saturdays Night in Praise of Farmers and Farmers with Beautiful Nature. This collection of poems caused a sensation. He was invited to Edinburgh, became a guest of a famous lady, and met Johnson, a Scottish folk collector. I will return to my hometown soon.
1788, Burns was admitted as an employee of the tax bureau. 1789, he got a position as a small tax official and rode to work every week. It was on that day that he was inspired. In a letter to a friend, he wrote Auld Lang Syne.
In the second half of his life, he mainly collected Scottish folk songs and lyrics, edited six volumes of Scottish Music Collection for Johnson (1787- 1808) and eight volumes of Scottish Original Songs Collection for Thomson (1793- 18 18).

Another long poem, Happy Beggars, describes a group of vagrants and vagrants having fun. His works are concise and lively, showing the ideological pursuit of freedom and equality. At the same time, his earliest Scottish folk song Auld Lang Syne was the theme song of the movie Broken Blue Bridge and has been sung by people all the time.
