Goddess is the product of the times, which conveys the strongest voice of the May 4th Movement: the violent impact on the feudal system, the strong demand for social change, and the yearning and pursuit of beautiful ideals.
In concrete content, Goddess longs for the destruction of the old China and the poet's old self, the birth of the new China and the poet's new self, full of the poet's deep affection for the motherland, singing the rebellious self-image, showing the self-strength combined with everything, expressing admiration and praise for the workers and peasants, and full of deep affection for nature.
Goddess also embodies the distinctive characteristics of the times and has a strong romantic artistic atmosphere. The volcanic passion and surging momentum expressed by many poems in the collection of poems are the natural expression of the poet's feelings. Heroic spirit, grand conception, passionate timbre and fast melody form a force that sweeps everything. In many poems, novel imagination is accompanied by bold exaggeration, and a large number of gorgeous words are interwoven into gorgeous brilliance, which makes poems have strong artistic appeal.
Poetry is also full of heroism and legend. Many poems are based on myths and legends or historical stories, and express their ideals and realistic contents through heroes.
In the form and form of poetry, Goddess truly realized the "great liberation of poetic style" for the first time. The Collection of Poems breaks the traditional pattern and adopts an eclectic style of free verse, with flexible syntax, bright and melodious rhythm and strong musicality.
Guo Moruo's Goddess initiated the poetic style of a generation of free verse and made a historic and outstanding contribution to the development of modern new poetry in China.
