There seem to be countless stars shining.
Stars in the sky. Now,
It seems that countless street lamps are on.
I think that empty sky,
There must be a beautiful market.
Some items on display in the market,
It must be a rare thing in the world.
You see, the shallow Tianhe,
Certainly not very broad.
Cowherd and Weaver Girl across the river,
I'm sure I can ride a cow.
I think now,
You must walk in Tianjie.
If you don't believe me, please look at that meteor.
They are walking with lanterns.

Guo Moruo's poems have always been famous for their strong emotional catharsis. His phoenix nirvana is passionate and vigorous, his heavenly dog is magnificent and devastating, and his good morning and coal in the furnace once made us feel excited, but the poem "Market in the Sky" we enjoyed tonight is very quiet and peaceful, beautiful in artistic conception and fresh and simple.
Guo Moruo was studying in Japan when he wrote this poem. Like many overseas students in China at that time, he missed his motherland and turned a blind eye to his ideal future. Poetry should think about this with the help of nature, and often wander by the sea. One night, the poet walked by the sea, looking up at the beautiful sky and twinkling stars, and his mood became cheerful. The poet seems to have found his ideal. So, he wrote this ideal in his poem, which seems to be an imagination of heaven in heaven.
"The street lamps in the distance are clear, as if countless stars are shining. The stars in the sky are now, as if countless street lamps are lit." The poet compares the stars to street lamps, and the stars are scattered in the sky. The distant world arouses people's infinite reverie.
Street lamps are actually the most common sight in our daily life. They are very close to us and can be seen almost everywhere. The poet compared the street lamps in the distance to the stars in the sky, and also compared the stars in the sky to the street lamps on the ground. Is this the poet's illusion, or is the poet trying to lead us into the ethereal air? In the poet's mind, heaven and earth are one.
Let's read on, "I think there must be a beautiful market in the ethereal sky, and some items displayed in the market must be rare in the world." These words remind us that there is a market in the ethereal air, a prosperous and beautiful market, and there are many items on display, all of which are treasures in the world. The poet didn't write these anecdotes specifically, which left us a lot of room for imagination. We can regard them as what we need and bring us peace and comfort.
Further down, "Look, the shallow Tianhe is definitely not very wide. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl across the river can ride a cow." I think they must be wandering in Tianjie at the moment. Look at that meteor, even if it comes with lanterns. "
This poem describes not only a market, but also a life scene. Across the shallow Tianhe River, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who are steadfast in love, are still guarding the Milky Way and can only look at each other from a distance. What kind of life is it? The poet said, "I must ride an ox. On a beautiful night, they have to wander in exotic and dazzling markets. That fashion is the lantern in their hands. "
A few simple words have subverted the myth that has been passed down through the ages and resolved the similarity and sadness between tragedy and people's sighs for thousands of years.
My friend, Mr. Guo Moruo's poem "Market in the Sky" has a quiet style. It expresses the poet's pure thoughts with natural and fresh language, neat short sentences and harmonious and beautiful melody. The artistic conception is ordinary and the rhythm is slow, such as a trickle and ripples, but it is this plain artistic conception that brings us rich imagination and makes our hearts wander in the distant sky with poetry and enjoy their beautiful dreams.

This poem was written in the early 1920s. At this time, the wave of the May 4th Movement has subsided, and the era of the Great Revolution has not yet arrived.
