1925 wrote lyrics for the school song of Fudan University. The lyrics of Fudan's school song are between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese, taking the advantage of both, and are sung by Fudan teachers and students.
The creative background of Autumn Night on the River;
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.
