After 1949, he successively served as the first president of China Academy of Sciences, vice premier of the Central People's Government and director of the Culture and Education Committee, vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), the first chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the first president of the University of Science and Technology of China, with remarkable academic achievements.
Poetry achievement
Guo Moruo's new poems have made a breakthrough in language. His first novel Goddess was written at the same time as Hu Shi's Attempt Collection, and even when it was published, it followed Hu Shi's Attempt Collection. Therefore, it is generally believed that Guo Moruo and Hu Shi are pioneers of China's new poetry. Some young poets have gone further. For example, in The Spirit of the Goddess, Wen Yiduo thinks that Guo Moruo's poetry creation has greatly surpassed Hu Shi's. "If the theory of new poetry, Guo Moruo's poetry deserves to be new! However, some researchers believe that Guo's poems are often not easy to read, vain and noisy, romantic and promiscuous. His famous poem Goddess was influenced by 19 th century American poet Whitman. Whitman's free verse is long and colloquial, and Poet God also emphasizes the rhythm of the poem, repeating specific words in each line, bringing out the rhythm without rhyming.
Historical achievements
1In the mid-1930s, Guo Moruo turned from theoretical problems to textual research, paying attention to archaeological materials rather than ancient documents and not quoting Marxist classics. In two weeks, he published the Complete Works of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, The Study of Oracle Inscriptions, The Important Seal of Bronze Research and other works, making him one of the most important experts on Oracle Bone Inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. Guo Moruo's views on China's early society "dominated" China's later historiography; His redefinition of "feudal society" is different from medieval European society and has nothing to do with Marx's theory. However, this has become the accepted definition of the word "feudal society" in China historians in the future.
