The starting point of his new literary creation was Japan, and he spent an extremely important period in his literary and academic career. The "distribution" of world literature in Japan nourishes and promotes the development of Guo Moruo's thought and creation. Therefore, Guo Moruo's works have long attracted the attention of Japanese publishing circles.
1922, Japan East Asia Company published Literature Revolution and Vernacular Poetry edited by Daxizhai and * * Tianhao, which included Guo Moruo's poetics and poems. At this time, Guo Moruo has just made his mark in China poetry. In the middle and late 1920s, Meng Man magazine published comments on Guo Moruo's thought and creation:
"If we want to point out the outstanding writers in modern China's new literary world, we will certainly push Lu Xun and Guo Moruo. No one disagrees with this." Lu Guo also said that this is the first time in the critical circle.
Japan was the first foreign country to study Guo Moruo. From the 1920s to 1980s, Guo Moruo's poems, novels, dramas, historiography and ancient Chinese characters were constantly introduced and commented in Japan. Guo Moruo has always been a very important chapter in the works of Japanese scholar China's literary history.
Since 1990s, the exchanges between China and Japan on Guo Moruo's research have been strengthened day by day, and the trend of mutual encouragement has gradually become. In 2003, Japan's Guo Moruo Research Association was established in the Literature Department of Imperial College Tokyo, with Professor Masaya Iwazo, a sinologist from Kyushu University, as its president, Professor Lina Fujita from Imperial College as its director and Dr. Wu Jiping from Kyushu University as its secretary-general.
