The Market in the Sky is a lyric poem written by Guo Moruo192/KLOC-0 when studying in Japan in June. In the early 1920s, the wave of the May 4th Movement had subsided, and the era of the Great Revolution had not yet arrived. Semi-colonial and semi-feudal China is still ruled by imperialism and its various warlords.
The poet hesitates in anguish, he is dissatisfied with reality and eagerly looks forward to a better future; Inspired by the brilliant starry sky, I wrote this romantic "Market in the Sky".
In The Market in the Sky, the market in the sky is what the poet sees when he looks up at the night sky with spiritual eyes. In Guo Moruo's spiritual vision, the world in the sky corresponds to the world on the ground.
The local world left him with the impression of "tears in his eyes" and "nausea in his heart": wandering corpses, obscene meat, skeletons everywhere and coffins all over the street. In Impression of Shanghai Goddess, he expressed his longing for the light through "the market in the sky".
