Background of song creation

In the 1960s and 1970s of 19, because it was the only famous song that described the customs and characters of the mountain people with Gaoshan tunes and used tambourines and drums, it was unique among the popular songs in Putonghua at that time. Qingshan first sang "Gao Shanqing", which was all the rage. Because the lyrics praised the Gaoshan people, they were also covered by other Gaoshan singers such as Shi Xiaorong.

During the period of 1949, Zhang Che, director of Shanghai Guotai Film Company, led a film crew to Taiwan Province to shoot the film "Alishan Fengyun". The film badly needs a theme song, and Zhang Che asked Deng Yuping to write the lyrics. Deng Yuping has never been to Alishan. He wrote this song by recalling the scene of playing with his girlfriend in his hometown.
