"Posture posture" is derived from "posture", which means beautiful, derived from the Lanzhou dialect, often describing little girls, beautiful houses and so on. Liu Qiong borrowed the characteristics of the Northwest dialect that likes to use overlapping sound words, and evolved "posture" into "posture posture", similar to "beautiful" into "beautiful and bright". When the word "posture" becomes "posture posture", in addition to the original superficial meaning, it also injects the author with a confident and loving emotional color.

Gesang flower is a beautiful flower, the meaning is beautiful. It grows in alpine areas and has a harsh environment, but it never chooses a place to live, and has tenacious vitality. The title of the book "Gesang Flower Posture Posture" contains a kind of remembrance and record of the author's early life in the northwest, and also has some feelings and reflections on the human geography of the northwest. The swaying posture of the Kelsang flower is full of confidence and vitality, and the dialect is a memory of a place and culture, which allows the author to open up the perception and thinking of multiculturalism.

"Gesang Flower Posture Posture" is divided into three series: "Gesang Flower Posture Posture", "Narrative, Existence and History", and "Literature and Humanities", which are respectively the writing of scenery, huairen, and literary criticism, and there is an objective connection between these three parts. The first part is biased towards prose that remembers people's memories, the second part is biased towards an essay, and the third part is biased towards going from essay to rational understanding, summary and induction.

After collecting her past thoughts and feelings into a book, the author Liu Qiong frankly said: "Writing about family memory is the subject that I am most interested in or writes the smoothest. In this book, the most significant about family memory are "Aunt" and "Grandfather's Youth", two articles, the author tells the people and things in the family through delicate brushstrokes, creating a tough, brave and tender grandfather image. Cleverly, she did not only write about her grandfather in isolation, but put him in a historical context, and also wrote about people and things related to her grandfather, which was deeply branded by that era, and the camaraderie and grandchildren in it were all touching.

In the family memory, whether it is a grandfather or an aunt, or other memories, Liu Qiong said that she has thought about continuing to write her grandfather's story, but will also consider the specific form. She said: "Fiction writing is a charm, non-fiction writing is also a charm, I can try to try both, each has its own strength." "Storytelling structure and engaging storytelling abilities are the power of writing to bring out the deeper things of the human heart and spirit in a way. The power of nonfiction lies in its real relationship with people, and it moves people with the power of a more surprising human relationship.
