Liu Shahe (1931-), formerly known as Yu Xuntan, a native of Jintang, Sichuan Province, was a deputy editor of the West Sichuan Daily in the early 1950s and began to write poetry. 1956, he published a collection of poems called "Nocturne in the Countryside", and in 1957, because of his participation in editing the "Stars" poetry magazine and publishing prose poems called "Grass and Trees", he was regarded as a "son of the landlords", and sent back to his place of origin to participate in agricultural labor. "In 1957, he was sent back to his hometown to participate in agricultural production and labor, and in 1976, after the Cultural Revolution, he continued to publish poems.

Liu Shahe's "Rural Nocturne" in the early period was relatively narrow in subject matter, and relatively shallow in thought and emotion. 1956 onwards, in addition to continuing to create poems that glorified the Party and the "boiling cause of construction," he wrote "Letters," "Ai," "Sickness," "In the Rain," "Fire," "Mystery," "Reply to Letters," "Snowy Nights," "Night Fog in August," "The Mist of August," and "Snowy Nights," in which he wrote "The Mist of the Night in August," and "The Mist of the Night in August, In addition to "Letter", "Ai", "Sickness", "In the Rain", "Fire", "Mystery", "Reply", "Snowy Night", "Night Fog in August", "Cowardly Maiden", "Maiden's Sorrow" and other poems, he emphasizes on the broader field of life to renew poetic thoughts and capture poetic images. In these poems, he got rid of the formula of illustrating life, and depicted the trajectory of the heart and the ripples of emotion of young boys and girls at the beginning of their love affair, and the image of human beings with richness of spirit and flesh and blood appeared in his poems.

The 1956 group of prose poems, "Grass and Trees," is an aria. Through the depiction of five plants, poplar, cactus, plum, vine and poisonous fungus, the poet uses the figurative and personification of grass and trees as metaphors for the way some people establish themselves in real life. Artistically, the selection of species of grass and trees and some of their characteristics are exaggerated to give them the image characteristics of the poem; the use of white description and cartoon style sketches to outline the image, combined with the characteristics of the grass and trees and the use of straightforward expression of feelings, love and hate and in line with the requirements of the poem. Just as the title of the poem quotes the poem of Zi Juyi, "Do not learn from the weak and tender seedlings", this is also the poet's sincere confession to the world.

After returning to the poetry world, the poet has maintained his thick, simple, sincere and introverted lyrical style, while his experience and thinking about the times, society and life have reached a new height. After his comeback, some of his initial works were strongly colored with "self-narrative biography", which expressed the sadness and loss that he couldn't get rid of about the passing of his youth, such as "Reunion", "Return", "Farewell to the Old Garden", etc.; there were also poems that recorded the emotional comfort he got when he was suffering, such as "Dreaming of Xi'an", "Six Love Poems", etc., which were euphemistic and bitter; at the same time, the poet also recorded the emotional comfort he received during his sufferings, such as "Dreaming of Xi'an", "Six Love Poems", etc., which are euphemistic and bitter. At the same time, the poet also has such major political themes as "the sun", "the old man and the sea", "ideal" and other lyrical poems were born, showing a certain degree of thinking and optimism.

Liu Shahe returned to the poetry world after the collection of poems, including "Farewell to the Old Garden", "Trail of Travels", and "Collected Poems of Liushahe", as well as a collection of poems and essays, "Twelve Poets of Taiwan" and "Poetry Across the Sea".
