The market in the sky
Guo Moruo
Original text:
The street lights in the distance are very clear.
There seem to be countless stars shining.
Stars in the sky. Now,
It seems that countless street lamps are on.
I think that empty sky,
There must be a beautiful market.
Some items on display in the market,
It must be a rare thing in the world.
You see, the shallow Tianhe,
Certainly not very broad.
Cowherd and Weaver Girl across the river,
I'm sure I can ride a cow.
I think now,
You must walk in Tianjie.
If you don't believe me, please look at that meteor.
Even if they walk with lanterns.

The creative background of Sky Market;
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".
A brief introduction to the author of Market in the Sky;

Market appreciation in the sky;
In the first section, the perspective of "star" and "street lamp" is consistent, which lays the foundation for the whole poem. From the real life market to the market in the sky, "street lamp" and "star" are metaphors, and the beautiful scenery in the sky and underground shines in contrast. The second section describes the imaginary market, which is as rich as the human market, but more "strange" than the human market.
The words "beauty" and "display" are slightly dyed to set off the prosperity and misty background of the fairyland in the sky, and "ethereal" seems to be absent and hidden from time to time, further arousing people's imagination. The third and fourth parts describe the happy life of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. If such a "beautiful market" and "rare" object becomes a series of still lives, and no one moves in it, it will not be wonderful.
In these two paragraphs, the poet changed from a static scene to a dynamic scene, and the story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" was led by "Tianhe". The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in folk myths and legends were angered by the Queen Mother, and only once a year did the poor "Tanabata" meet.
However, in The Market in the Sky, with the help of bold artistic imagination, the poet changes the theme of myth, expresses his ideals and yearns for a better future with the hero in the myth and legend as the object. Everything will be fine. All shall be well, jack shall have Jill, enjoying a beautiful life in the sky, riding an ox, carrying a lantern, wading across the Milky Way and wandering in beautiful streets.
"Shallow Tianhe" has become a landscape in the life of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which will always "win over countless people" and make people fascinated forever. The poet abandoned all the tragic factors of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, turned the obstacles that caused misfortune into a foil for a better life, and cast a charming color on the illusion in the poem. At the end, "They walk with lanterns" is the crowning touch of the poem, which seems endless.
