The blue sea is rough and the tide is eastward.
Brilliant, there will be yo-the newborn sun!
The cloud island in the sky and sea has been laughing as brightly as fire!
I can't wait to level all the obstacles in front of me!
There it is! There it is! Geng Jingjing's white light!
There are infinite gold threads flying from my eyes to the sun.
The sun! I stare at you with my back to the sea.
The sun! I won't go back unless you give me a bright light!
The sun! Please shine in front of me forever and don't look back!
The sun! When I took my eyes off you, it was dark all around!
The sun! Please treat my life as bright red blood!
The sun! Please treat all my poems as some golden floats!
The sun! The cloud island in my heart is already as bright as fire!
The sun! Please always listen, listen, the surging waves in my heart!
Streets in the sky
The street lamp in the distance is very clear, as if there are countless stars shining.
Stars appear in the sky, as if countless street lamps were lit.
I think there must be a beautiful market in the foggy sky.
Some items on display in the market must be rare in the world.
You see, the shallow Tianhe is definitely not very wide.
I think the cow girl crossing the river can definitely ride the cow.
I think they must be wandering in the street at the moment.
Do not believe, please look at that meteor.
Even if they walk with lanterns.
tranquil night
Guo Moruo
The moonlight is faint.
Hanging over the pine forest outside the village.
White clouds,
A few scattered stars leaked out.
Where is Tianhe?
The sea fog in the distance is blurred.
Afraid that Jiao Ren would go ashore,
On the moon?
The Market in the Sky and Silent Night are both selected from the poet's second collection of poems, Starry Sky. Starry Sky was written in the most depressed period after the May 4th Movement. At that time, the poet was studying in Japan and returned to China twice in April of192/kloc-0 and the following summer. Facing the reality of China at that time, the poet felt disappointed and miserable. He hates the dark reality and looks forward to a bright future. However, the fierce fighting spirit and fiery enthusiasm during the May 4th Movement have faded, leaving only "some microwaves after the tide recedes, even silence" (Guo Moruo's words). Therefore, in Starry Sky, the poet reveals strong disappointment and sadness. Although he expressed his desire to fly, to be reborn and to be free, on the other hand, he also contained negative emotions of escapism and loneliness. This is the overall reading impression of Starry Sky. When reading Market in the Sky and Silent Night, we must contact the above specific background of the times.
There are two characteristics of Starry Sky written by Guo Moruo that deserve attention. One is that it is mostly clear, and the other is that it is mostly at night. "Starry sky" constitutes a unique image in Guo Moruo's poems. The poet endowed the starry sky with distant, bright and unreal characteristics, and expressed an ethereal, empty, lonely and melancholy thought. The market in the sky and Silent Night also have the above characteristics.
