Standing on the edge of the earth is a new poem written by Guo Moruo in September and October of 19 19. On the one hand, this poem shows the magnificent scenery of nature through a true reflection of the natural landscape; On the other hand, the natural image has also become a vivid reflection of social reality and the spirit of the times.
It is a symbol of the soaring times during the May 4th Movement and the spirit of the times that violently impacted the old world, old culture and old tradition. The author wants to use this poem to tell people that scientific civilization and people's awakening will eventually overthrow the old world and create a new world. This poem is magnificent in artistic conception, full of romanticism and strong sense of the times.
At that time, Guo Moruo was shocked by the May 4th Movement and the October Revolution and resolutely returned to China from Japan. When he was on the coast of Yokohama, Japan, facing the boundless sea, the stormy waves collided with the torrent of the times.
As a result, a magnificent flowing picture appeared in the poet's pen. So the poet wrote this hymn of strength, which is a symbol of the fierce impact of the spirit of the times on the old world, old culture and old tradition.
works appreciation
Numbering on the Edge of the Earth is one of the representative works of Guo Moruo's early poems. This poem presents the reader with the image of a giant. He stood on the edge of the earth, overlooking the earth from the standpoint of "omnipotence" and sounded the horn that resounded all over the world.
The sound of his horn is cheering the roaring white clouds, the magnificent scenery of the Arctic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean that is going to push the earth down-Hong Tao rolling in from all directions in space. The avalanche in Hong Tao has both great destructive power and equally great creativity, depending on whether people can master and control it.
