The theme of Guo Moruo's poem "Coal in the Furnace"

Coal in the Furnace was written at the beginning of 1920, when Guo Moruo was studying in the Faculty of Medicine of Kyushu Imperial University in Fukuoka, Japan. The wanton invasion of China by imperialist powers has aroused the author's strong indignation, and the corruption and melee of feudal warlords in China have also made the author abhor it. 19 19 the may 4th movement, like the thunder in spring, indicates that an unprecedented great revolutionary storm has come and ignited the revolutionary passion in the poet's chest. He used literature and art, especially poetry, as a weapon to praise the people's revolution. Welcome the birth of the motherland. Guo Moruo said that the years after the May 4th Movement were his "explosive period of writing poetry" and "I was intoxicated with poetry almost every day". Every poem strikes like a fever, which makes me feel cold and makes me tremble, and sometimes I can't write it. "Coal in the Furnace" was created in such a mental state. He collected the poems of this period into Goddess, which was published in 192 1. This is Guo Moruo's first collection of poems and the first monument in the history of China's new poetry development.
