Guo Moruo enjoys a lofty status in the history of modern Chinese literature, Chinese history, archaeology and other fields.
Guo Moruo once described himself as Goethe and was widely recognized by the cultural circle. For example, Zhou Yang once said to Guo Moruo, "You are Goethe, but you are the Goethe of New China in the socialist era." Sha Yexin quoted Engels The evaluation of Goethe points out the two sides of Guo Moruo as a great genius and an ordinary citizen.
Guo Moruo created poetry full of revolutionary passion, praising the people's revolution, praising socialism and communism, creating a generation of poetry, and becoming the founder of my country's new poetry movement. The historical dramas he created are powerful weapons for educating the people and attacking enemies.
Mr. Guo Moruo is not only talented, but also has a profound foundation in Chinese studies. He indeed made original contributions in the research of oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. However, from the perspective of modern academic standards, he was more than capable of showing off his talents, but the discipline of historiography was far from enough. This is mainly because he is different from Er Chen (referring to Chen Yuan and Chen Yinke), Lu Simian, etc. His ambition is not academic, but has other ambitions.
Creative Characteristics
Guo Moruo absorbs the essence of Western modern life philosophies from classical humanism to Bergson, Freud and others, in order to conform to the endless flow of nature. The enterprising way of life flow starts from cultivating a perfect self-personality and fervently calls for the arrival of a perfect social order.
From works such as "Sunrise", we can experience a kind of endless power, whether it is the new sun bursting out, the tengu burning like fire, the nirvana phoenix, or The pulse of the metropolis, the sentiment of life bred in the infinite sea of ??light, etc., are all filled with powerful life impulses and burning with the fire of life.
It can be said that Guo Moruo's creations are symphonies of life in which the author's self-impulse expands outward to awaken the rhythm of life in the universe.
The infinite expansion of the subjective spirit makes the self transcend nature and become an infinite existence. The universe is immortal. The infinite extension of the subjective spirit of man to the universe will inevitably lead to human immortality. His works are overflowing with The author's admiration and praise for power, vitality and creativity show readers Guo Moruo's knowledge and understanding of life, society and nature.
He used the natural laws of life impulse and metabolism shown by life phenomena to deny the existing unreasonable order and system, and expressed his pursuit of the development and evolution of life with the pursuit of perfect life ideals.
