In 1949 Liu came to Taiwan. At that time her first thought was to have a look at aboriginal dance. This "look" lasted nearly 30 years. Annually she would undertake an in-depth study of a given group, such as the Yami of Orchid Island, the Atayal of Nantou, or the Bunun.
因此民國三十八年當劉鳳學來到台灣，第一步就想看看原住民舞蹈，而這一「看」就持續了近三十年。
