Three. Introduction to poetry anthology:
China's new poetry developed with the May 4th Cultural Movement and the poetry revolution. The liberation of poetic style began with Hu Shi and was completed by poets who practiced the concept of "literature for life" in the literary research society. 192 1 year, the creation society with Guo Moruo as the banner was established, which can be described as "a sudden emergence of a new army" and turned its attention to "a life full of defects". If we say that Hu Shi, who initiated the "great liberation of poetic style", and his "Trial Collection" can only be regarded as the boundary between old and new poems; Then, it is Guo Moruo and his goddess who can be called the pioneers and masterpieces of the new poetry revolution.
Goddess uses mythical themes, poetic genres and symbolism to reflect reality. Among them, The Goddess Rebirth symbolizes the civil war in China at that time. The poet once said, "* * * workers symbolize the south, and Zhuan Xu symbolizes the north. We want to build a third China-beautiful China." However, the poet's early social ideal is vague. He once said: "In the beginning, nature was indifferent, only vaguely opposed to the old society and wanted to establish a new society. What the new society looks like and how to build it is very embarrassing. " So the goddess wants to create a fresh sun, but it is still a slim creation, just an ideal vision and a bright pursuit. However, during the May 4th Movement, it inspired the youth.
The artistic network of the goddess is the unity of diversity. Passion is like lightning and thunder, and volcanoes erupt; Gentle as the breeze and the bright moon, a trickle. The artistic style of the masterpiece Tiangou in Goddess belongs to the former. This poem was written in the explosive period of Guo Moruo's new poetry creation, which is the most passionate moment for young Guo Moruo. The style of this poem is strong, violent and tense.
At first, the poet called himself "Tiangou" and could swallow the moon, the sun and all the planets. And "I am me" is the pride brought by the full publicity of personality. Therefore, it is the poet's ode to the liberation of personality under the spirit of the May 4th Movement, and it is precisely because of the courage to overcome all the constraints on personality development that personality can be fully developed. May 4th New Talents have unlimited energy: "I am the total energy at the bottom of Yu Quan Temple!" Such a new person in the May 4th Movement will change the mountains and rivers, the earth and the universe. "I run, I scream, I burn ..." The emotional power released by the poem is like a violent hurricane and a rushing torrent, which produced a strong shock wave at that time. I Fly is an exciting cry, which fully shows the painful process of personality liberation during the May 4th Movement. In a word, Tiangou is a soul-stirring spiritual hymn played during the May 4th Movement. What people first heard from the poems of the May 4th Movement was the brave and roaring voice of the times. The heroic spirit of "Tiangou", which can devour "all planets", is precisely the spiritual reappearance of the May 4th Movement, which demands the destruction of all traditions and the old world.
And "Tiangou" is just a small spray that the poet's emotion and art collide, merge and splash in the creation of "Goddess". It can be seen that Goddess's creative imagination is rich and peculiar, and her lyricism is bold and enthusiastic, which is a must in poetry. Its unparalleled romantic artistic color will be a dazzling light that shines on the gallery of poetry art; Its burning poems, like a noisy heat wave, roared the strongest sound of the May 4th Movement.
