Tired birds carry the sunset and return to the sky.
How can you be bitter and sweet in the wind, and your wings shine all over the river.
Thousands of waves, cool to late autumn.
Just as cold as ice, suddenly leaning on red makeup.

The Background of Jiang Shang's Autumn Night
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. "On the Autumn Night" 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.
