Guo Moruo is a cultural giant in the 2th century and in the history of China. After the May 4th Movement, few people like Guo Moruo have made achievements in many aspects, and he can be described as a wizard. Guo Moruo's achievements in several academic fields, especially in the history of China's poetry, in the study of China's ancient history and ancient Chinese characters are brilliant and great.
In recent years, many scholars have criticized Guo Moruo wantonly, some of which are in line with the facts, and some are distorted. The emergence of criticism and new views is a manifestation of social progress. Generally speaking, it will promote academic progress and cultural development. A normal academic environment should have criticism and counter-criticism. However, in the reflection on Guo Moruo, some articles and scholars have adopted a frivolous attitude, which is incorrect.

Guo Moruo's creative analysis:
Guo Moruo's creative life path is changeable and can be roughly divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph is the May 4th period. As a talented romantic poet, Goddess shouted out the true voice of the times, awakened a generation of young people, released the repressed social mood and met the spiritual needs of the times.
This is the golden age of Guo Moruo, during which his personality was fully expressed and his degree of self-realization was very high. This is of course related to the specific atmosphere during the May 4th Movement, and the relaxed, free and vibrant environment is also conducive to the formation of Guo Moruo's romantic personality and creative style.
The second paragraph is in 193s and 194s, when Guo Moruo became a "poet-social activist". From the "Literary Revolution" and "Two Slogans" debates to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Guo Moruo is often surrounded by political circles because of his literary fame. Although his romantic personality is not suitable for political circles, he also devotes considerable energy to social activities.
