Guo Moruo's Goddess is a romantic poetry collection, and its main features are:
1, romantic spirit. Romanticism emphasizes subjectivity and self-expression. Goddess is a poem of self-expression, and the phoenix in the poem is the poet's self-expression. The subjective spirit of "self" in poetry is a strong spirit of resistance and rebellion and an idealistic spirit of pursuing light.
2. The performance of explosive venting. Romanticism is mainly expressed by expressing one's mind directly, which is an explosive catharsis in poetry, which is most typical in poems such as Phoenix Nirvana.
3. Strange imagination and exaggeration. Such as swallowing the moon from the mouth of folk dogs, imagining dogs swallowing the whole universe, "barking like the sea" and so on This extremely exaggerated strange imagination can best express the strong demand for personality liberation and the spirit of resistance and rebellion against the old world.
4. In the way of image depiction, it has a heroic style.
5. Language has a strong subjective color. Some sentences describing nature infected the poet's subjective feelings at that time.
6. The creation of the goddess in Goddess practices Guo Moruo's own creative idea of "extreme freedom and autonomy" and completely liberates the form of poetry. "Goddess" does not pursue any fixed existing format, but lets feelings gallop naturally and show naturally, and naturally forms the rhythm of poetry according to the internal emotional rhythm. It has more than 50 poems, and each capital has a new format. "Tiangou" has a short poem; Standing on the edge of the earth, there is a kind of continuous affection, which is just suitable for expressing mourning; The poems in Nirvana of the Phoenix are uneven, long or short, full of changes, long or short, with a strong sense of rhythm, showing a tragic atmosphere.
7. "Goddess" often uses metaphor and symbolism, relying on an image to express and express her feelings, which is the main feature of Guo Moruo's romanticism. In Goddess, no matter the characters in ancient myths and historical stories, or the personalized natural scenery, the image selection is very clever, appropriate and novel, which is consistent with the emotional content to be expressed. Mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars, lightning and thunder are all singing Guo Moruo's songs. "Tiangou" expresses the rebellious and destructive feelings to the world with the image of the destroyer in the sky in folklore, and "Coal in the Furnace" expresses the patriotic feelings of workers with the image of black humble "black slave"-coal, which is very novel and appropriate.
8. The bold style of the goddess is the pioneer of the bold school of new poetry. Although there are also works with the style of "beautiful but not handsome" in Goddess, Whitman's style of "handsome but not handsome" best represents the characteristics of Goddess. Its imagination is novel, its language is rough, its momentum is magnificent, its tone is fierce and its style is arbitrary. Its beauty is a magnificent and masculine beauty.
