The camel carrying willow understands the theme of this poem.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the sky of * * * and national poetry was full of stars and new stars, and Gong Liu was one of them. Gong Liu is good at raising his meticulous feelings about life to a rational level, combining fresh life breath with vigorous philosophy to form his own unique style. This is why lyric short poems such as "The Night of May Day" and "Shanghai Night Song" are popular. Taking this poem as an example, he not only naturally excavated poetry from the willow branches on the camel's back, but also extended and polished the connotation and beauty of future life in front of readers with imagination and association, which has a strong appeal.

Another outstanding feature of this poem is its ingenious conception. Conception is "the process of the artist's overall conception of the content and form of future works in artistic creation." In all fairness, conception is the central link of artistic creation and the key to the success or failure of art. In the early 1950s, telling the truth to Chen Qi was widely used in poetry creation. Many people pay attention to the vividness of local images and metaphors, while Gong Liu pays attention to choosing the angle and intensity to reflect life, which is advanced and meaningful. From the willow branches on the camel's back to "planting spring all over the desert" and then to "following it will surely catch up with spring", it is not difficult to clarify the trajectory of the poet's ingenious conception and sublimation by following the flow of the author's thoughts and the transformation of images. In this respect, the short poem "Mountain Path" written at the same time has the same effect.
