Guo Moruo's first collection of poems, with brand-new content and form, created a generation of poetic style, which can be called the foundation stone of China's modern new poetry.
Together with 57 preface poems. Most of them were written by poets while studying in Japan. Representative poems include Phoenix Nirvana, Goddess Rebirth, Coal in the Furnace, Sunrise, Vision of Mount Bili, The Earth and My Mother! Tengu, Good Morning, Standing on the Edge of the Earth and so on.
Guo Moruo's Goddess is a romantic poetry collection, and its main features are:
1, romantic spirit. Romanticism emphasizes subjectivity and self-expression. Goddess is a poem of self-expression, and the phoenix in the poem is the poet's self-expression. The subjective spirit of "self" in poetry is a strong spirit of resistance and rebellion and an idealistic spirit of pursuing light.
2. The performance of explosive venting. Romanticism is mainly expressed by expressing one's mind directly, which is an explosive catharsis in poetry, which is most typical in poems such as Phoenix Nirvana.
3. Strange imagination and exaggeration. Such as swallowing the moon from the mouth of folk dogs, imagining dogs swallowing the whole universe, "barking like the sea" and so on This extremely exaggerated strange imagination can best express the strong demand for personality liberation and the spirit of resistance and rebellion against the old world.
4. In the way of image depiction, it has a heroic style.
5. Language has a strong subjective color. Some sentences describing nature infected the poet's subjective feelings at that time.
