Guo Moruo's Starry Sky (text and appreciation)

starry sky

Author: Guo Moruo

Beautiful! Beautiful!

Celestial bodies, for me,

Never had a happy night!

Beautiful! Beautiful!

This night in my life,

Life is really admirable!

Endless hug!

Love is endless!

There are only twinkling stars and me in space.

Oh, look!

Look at the Gemini in the middle,

There are five cars in the middle,

W Cassiopeia

Cross the Tianhe River.

Poerxiusi, the corpse of a spaceship.

Also across the Tianhe River.

Half-hooked crescent moon

With a somewhat bleak taste.

Elegant Andromeda,

Hanging low in the west,

Ride on a winged horse

Pegasus is back.

The Big Dipper is very low from the ground.

Barrel handle, it seems that it can be poured by hand.

Down, down, down,

I want to drink all the wine pulp flowing in the Tianhe River.

Get drunk!

Orion, like a carpet,

I want to sleep there,

It's called a weaver pillow.

Ask the girl to accompany the pillow.

Alas, it's a pity that the weaver girls don't meet.

Girls don't meet.

A big dog with bright eyes, a puppy,

Monitoring on both sides of Tianhe,

No wonder the river drum that drives cattle,

He was afraid to show his face.

The stars in the sky have completely changed!

The big dipper moves high in the air,

Polaris is still motionless.

Handsome eyes are rippling due west,

But is it Gemini?

Beautiful! Beautiful!

The eternal and difficult celestial sphere

What a change!

Beautiful! Beautiful!

When I am drunk, I feel dark.

Secrets are always turning!

Always moving vigorously,

I should wait for the stars.

I rode the wind to the sea,

People are silent,

Ancient genius

Emerge from the starlight!

Babylonian genius,

The genius of Egypt,

The genius of India,

The genius of zhongzhou,

Starlight never dies,

Your spirit

Stay in the human mind forever!

A teardrop-like meteor falls,

The genius of Zhongzhou in the past!

But you shed tears in the air?

Mourn for our lost children,

Mourn for our degraded culture,

Weeping our surging youth.

Few people can know.

Which is the businessman and which is the well ghost?

Sad! Sad!

I couldn't help crying. ...

Oh, sea breeze!

The dark clouds have cleared,

The starlight is more and more obvious.

The lion of the east

Has moved to the south during the day,

A girl with dazzling light,

I mistook you for a big dog.

Snake sea snake

You are in the southeast,

Scorpions and wolves with poisonous light,

Are you afraid of Apollo's golden arrow?

Oh, where is Orion?

I remember the poem "prepare for a rainy day".

The couple went from coma to danger.

Happy lover!

When Samsung was in the sky,

They met from the mountain;

When Samsung was in trouble,

They avoid trysts;

When Samsung is at home,

And they're whispering!

Free and beautiful ancients,

Shan Tong, a country girl in sokcho,

We also know that during the operation of stars,

Looking for endless poetic materials,

Oh, how lovely!

Unfortunately, the era of youth has passed!

Unfortunately, the era of freedom has passed!

Alas, I look up at the stars and pray,

Pray for youth to come again!

I looked up at the stars and prayed,

Pray for the free era to come again!

The cock crows gradually,

Rising clouds,

I bid you farewell, goodbye.

Starry Sky is another masterpiece of Guo Moruo's poetry, which belongs to another style in art.

The poems in Starry Sky mostly reflect Guo Moruo's depressed and lonely thoughts and feelings after the ebb tide of the May 4th Movement. At that time, the poet could not see the deepening of the revolutionary struggle and the growth of the revolutionary forces, and could not find the correct way of struggle. The ideological influence of pantheism in the goddess era has not been liquidated, but has been regarded as a spiritual sustenance to escape from reality. Therefore, his poems strongly reveal the sadness of "sadness" and "drifting" and the sadness of pursuing the past and returning to the true. The poet described himself as a "goose with an arrow", like a "wounded soldier" and "lying on this vast battlefield" (Poem on the Starry Sky). The poet lamented "the scene of the end of the world" ("On Wusong Dike"), and the world was dirty. "There is only a green sea here!" (Looking up) laments that "the sinister storm is restless for a moment, and the turbulent waves have already dyed my heart" (Elegy of the Yellow Sea). In the poetic drama "Son of the Solitary Bamboo King", Bo Yi advocated converting to nature on the pretext of escaping from reality and longed for "the purity and sincerity of primitive people". Of course, the happiness in the sky is temporary, and the road to shouyangshan on the ground cannot be reproduced, but the grim and cold reality cannot be avoided. Therefore, after sighing and exploring, the poet is still full of hope for the future: "Pray for the return of that youth!" "Pray that the era of freedom will come again!" The emotional tone of Starry Sky is not as optimistic as Goddess, but rather depressing. But the poet's accusation of darkness, the pursuit of light and the pursuit of road are still full of romantic passion. The poet's anguish, hesitation and sadness represent the mood and mentality of some petty-bourgeois intellectuals. Therefore, "Starry Sky" still caused the abuse of many progressive youths at that time.
