The second paragraph is that in 1930s and 1940s, Guo Moruo became a "poet-social activist". From the debate between "literary revolution" and "two slogans" to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Guo Moruo was often surrounded by political circles because of his literary fame. Although his romantic personality is not suitable for politics, he also devoted considerable energy to social activities. His creation bid farewell to the vigor and vitality of the May 4th period, and his sense of reality gradually strengthened, while his romantic imagination and passion also declined. Judging from the times fashion that scholars generally care about the country and the people, Guo Moruo's transformation is inevitable, even necessary. But this change is not suitable for Guo Moruo's genius and literary personality. As a romantic poet, Guo's psychology and personality are bound to be distorted and bound by real politics. Although he also created Qu Yuan's historical plays and other influential works during this period, on the whole, Guo Moruo's creativity keeps pace with the times.
The third paragraph is that after the liberation of Chinese mainland, Guo lived in a high position and was burdened with housework. Although he still starts writing from time to time, most of his works are cut and not artistic enough.
Throughout Guo Moruo's life, there have been great changes in the early and late stages, but Guo is mainly famous for his poems, a poet, a scholar, not a politician. What he left to people was mainly poetry. Therefore, to evaluate such a character, we should focus on his poems, especially his early poems such as Goddess. In the later period, Guo Moruo was criticized for being too fashionable. However, judging from his psychological and personality characteristics, this "fashion" can still be said to be mainly expressed by literati, and it is not necessary to demand and measure it by the standards of political figures. What's more, Guo used to be a very real person, which is a kind of truth that completely faces up to all aspects of human nature, a kind of truth that makes the traditional boring mentality unbearable, which is very valuable. The literary products that a society needs must be multifaceted, both philosophical and profound, imaginative and sincere. We should admit that these two aspects of modern literature are still too few. Because of this, we should comment on Guo Moruo's poems with a tolerant and knowledgeable attitude, and understand and cherish the May 4th cultural heritage such as Goddess, instead of demanding such a talented poet.
