What did Guo Xiaochuan's Starry Sky write and express?

With "hope" as the core and the starry sky and Tiananmen Square as the broad background, the whole poem unfolds magical imagination, compares heaven and earth from different perspectives, explores cosmic life, and forms a compound space belonging to poetry, thus effectively writing multi-faceted and multi-level feelings.

The poet's original intention is not to praise the starry sky and deny the world, but to make the poem achieve the lyric effect of "unexpected" and "sudden". According to the different stages of emotional development and change, he especially adopted the artistic techniques of wanting to promote first (for Tiananmen Square) and using virtual writing to compare with real writing in Tiananmen Square, which made the poem ups and downs and ended with a turbulent climax, thus making it more artistic. Persuade people not to be "depressed" or "sad" because of temporary setbacks, and encourage people to set up lofty ideals, cherish their short lives and strive to create a better future.

The whole poem is permeated with the poet's love for life, as well as a strong sense of the universe and the solemn sense of mission of mankind. The main theme is to praise life and eulogize people's essential strength.

Staring at the Starry Sky is one of the most representative works with artistic individuality in Guo Xiaochuan's lyric poems. It is a successful attempt by the poet to deliberately create poetic peaks and valleys by using the dialectical relationship between artistic suppression and promotion, emptiness and reality, so as to achieve unexpected and unique lyric effects. This is an important feature of this poem in artistic conception.
