The May 4th era needs passionate romanticism, and Guo Moruo's artistic imagination is better than observation. The stagnation of individuals and countries has found a fire spout in romanticism. Guo Moruo repeatedly emphasized that "poetry is dedicated to expressing emotions", art is "the combination of soul and nature", "poetry is the expression of personality creation" and "literature and art with the most thorough personality is the most common literature and art of the people".
Taking Goddess as an example, this paper expounds Guo Moruo's literary accomplishment. The first book of poetry, Goddess, was published in August of 192 1, and included in Goddess Regeneration, Phoenix Nirvana, Coal in the Furnace and Tengu and the Earth! More than 50 poems, such as My Mother, have created a poetic style with brand-new content and form, which can be called the cornerstone of modern new poetry in China.
The success of Goddess lies in the unity of the needs of the times and the poet's creative personality. From the perspective of pantheism, the lyric hero image of the poet has a strong romantic color. The self-lyrical hero of Goddess first "opens a broad self", which is the self-image of the awakened Chinese nation during the May 4th Movement. The brand-new image of the Chinese nation recreated for the times was fully expressed in Goddess for the first time. This is the first time in the history of China that people's self-worth has been affirmed, their dignity respected and their creativity recognized.
At the same time, the protagonist of Goddess is a newcomer with the spirit of complete destruction and bold creation. The image of "I" faces the whole world and mankind. He worships his own essence and enthusiastically pursues spiritual freedom and personality liberation.
Finally, the lyrical image of "self" in Goddess is the true exposure of the poet's self-soul and personality in the great era. The "I" in Goddess not only shows a brand-new national soul, but also reveals the poet's own soul. The charm and non-repetition of Goddess lies in its national spirit and the writer's free state of writing. At the same time, Goddess truly shows the poet's inner contradiction in aesthetic pursuit.
In the form of poetry, the goddess created the form of free poetry. Generally speaking, its form is free. There are basically two kinds: one is that the external meter is strict, and the rhyme, stanza and line are generally neat, such as the morning star; The other type, which accounts for the majority of goddesses, emphasizes the internal rhythm of natural emotional ups and downs, but does not completely ignore the external form, but achieves a certain degree of neatness and harmony in free change, such as Tiangou.
Generally speaking, Goddess is a peak of Guo Moruo's creation. Until the historical drama Qu Yuan, Guo Moruo returned to the road of revolutionary romanticism, found himself again, and appeared the second creative peak. Guo Moruo's works are permeated with strong revolutionary romanticism, aiming at innovating the free system of poetry and having strong literary accomplishment.
