What kind of person is Guo Moruo?

When I was studying Guo Moruo's Market in the Sky, I felt that such beautiful words should be written by someone with poetic heart and distance, such as the one in the article.

"I think they must be wandering in Tianjie at the moment. Do not believe, please look at that meteor. Even if they walk with lanterns. " The stars and the sea, facing each other across the sea, are stepping on the sparkling Milky Way, carrying stars and lights, and heading for each other's appointment. I once thought he was the most romantic and affectionate literary master. Now, after getting to know him better, I actually began to convince myself not to change my mind.

Guo Moruo is not only a writer, but also a famous expert, historian, social activist and revolutionary in Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

His literary works are highly praised. He once called himself Goethe, but he was not ridiculed, but was widely recognized by the literary world.

In any case, few people in history deny Guo Moruo's literary level. His talent is obvious to all, and he has made an indelible contribution in the field of Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

It is such an "excellent" Guo Moruo who is too biased towards his own ideological pursuit and feelings in private. Not to mention judging him by our current values, let's say Mr. Lu Xun at that time.

Guo Moruo was the first scholar in China literary world in the 20th century. But it was described by Lu Xun as "a gifted scholar, plus Koloski (rogue)".

I still understand the theory of genius, but where should the word "rogue" be explained? Moreover, in such a sensitive period, what made Lu Xun evaluate outstanding literary figures in this way regardless of his own safety and the surrounding siege?

What is he like under the standards of the same society? Lu Xun is a typical "anarchist" and "political skeptic". He doesn't believe that any government can bring people a democratic life.

He believes that only the people's own awakening is the only way to save this society. With a purely confrontational attitude, he wrote essays such as "An inch of iron kills people" for the purpose of overthrowing the government.

However, from this point of view, he has at least been fighting against social injustice with his own strength and is the big dipper of the times. Always use your weak writing power to alert and guide the lifestyle of people in troubled times.

If Lu Xun described it as a "rogue". Then Guo Moruo's life pursuit or values must be very different from Lu Xun's.

It is obvious to all that Guo Moruo's literary works have made a family. Then, from the perspective of literary works, why can we see his soul from his words?

There is such a discussion on the internet, saying, "Guo Moruo lived for 86 years, why can't there be better works in the later period?" Is Jiang Lang the only one who can do it?

I'm afraid this reason is a bit difficult to convince the public. As we all know, for a writer, besides his own importance to the accumulation of knowledge, his personal experience provides a steady stream of materials and inspiration for his works.

So for this problem, we should discuss Guo Moruo's life from the boundary point of time and think about why he didn't have good works in his later period. Did he start a different direction for his life trajectory?

Of course, the answer is yes. There are disappointments and sorrows in endless surprises and sighs.

Why are early works so popular? Goddess made Guo Moruo famous and became the founder of China's new poetry.

This work is not done overnight, but is carried out in several periods. Most of them are written between 19 19 and 1920. Compared with Japanese prosperity, China at that time was still very backward.

However, influenced by the October Revolution and Marxism, the May 4th New Culture Movement in China showed people the future of liberal democracy and the hope of rebuilding the motherland and rejuvenating the nation. However, the old ideas and autocratic system of feudal tradition were strongly impacted and resisted in the May 4th Movement.

In this context, Guo Moruo's Goddess is regarded as a masterpiece of the May 4th spirit that broke the feudal shackles and swept the old world.

The work Goddess is free and changeable in creative form, rich and novel in ideological content, bold in poetic style and full of romanticism, which can indeed be used as the cornerstone of new poetry. However, his poems denied the feudal tradition and the old world and made great contributions to the development of China's new poetry.

Why did he live so hard later? Guo Moruo in his later years didn't know whether he was forced by life or really wanted to save his life. His works gradually lost the pure romantic feelings in his heart, but wavered in different political positions. Just to have a place in such troubled times.

1966, the Cultural Revolution broke out. It is conceivable that intellectuals like literary masters are doomed.

But what I didn't expect was that Guo Moruo, in order to protect himself, made a speech that totally denied the extreme "Left" trend of thought in history, and after this speech spread abroad, it also seriously affected Guo Moruo's international reputation.

If you just say this, it will not be enough for him to survive in the "Cultural Revolution". Therefore, Guo Moruo later published his treatise "Li Bai and Du Fu" in 197 1, in which he made inappropriate remarks about Li Bai and Du Fu, which made people criticized.

He is also commensurate with Mao Shiyou and writes poems for Mao's inscriptions from time to time. He also highly praised Mao's poems and the unique charm of his calligraphy. Therefore, even if it was criticized at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, it was quickly released and protected.

Of course, once and for all, you can't just praise Mao, so later he wrote a lot of poems about the Cultural Revolution, praised them, and wrote articles to support Jiang Qing. In this way, Guo Moruo escaped the catastrophe of intellectuals in the whole 1970s.

A few months before the Gang of Four was arrested, Guo Moruo wrote "Tune to Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution". However, a few months later, the downfall of the Gang of Four made him see something bad, and he immediately wrote another song, "Turn the tune and smash the Gang of Four". Such a political stance and personality have to be questioned.

In his later years, he created a large number of "sensitive" poems for political needs, and won a win-win situation of fame and power. Now it is regarded as a flattering work by some writers in the literary world, and some scholars criticize it. Excessive praise of Guo Moruo really belittles the true meaning and sacredness of literature.

Compared with many masters, his literary achievements are indeed quite inferior, and there are not many popular works left behind. Almost all his life depends on flattery and wealth, and he has no integrity at all.

Guo Moruo's curiosity about archaeological excavations is hard to compliment. He is also an archaeologist. At that time, he wanted to know the complete version of Yongle Dadian recorded in Historical Records, so he applied for the excavation of the Ming Tombs and promised to take protective measures.

Even though he was opposed later, he still carried out this excavation activity which made later generations regret. They excavated Dingling of the Ming Tombs and unearthed more than 3,000 precious cultural relics.

Although a large number of objects have been provided for studying the history of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a large number of precious cultural relics that have been oxidized and rotted due to technical problems and cannot be preserved and disappeared.

But because of technical problems, it is understandable that it can't be preserved, but they regard the three huge red painted coffins of Emperor Wanli and his two empresses as garbage and throw them in the surrounding ravines at will.

And these three coffins are all made of pure gold nanmu. Later, it was seen by nearby residents and taken home for reconstruction. And it killed six people. Strange greed is to blame, but there is also an unshirkable responsibility.

It is also recorded in ancient books that Guo Moruo just wanted to see his true face, not really to study history, but to satisfy his curiosity.

His mood is also the subject of his criticism. Guo Moruo's first marriage was arranged, and his wife's name was Zhang Qionghua. Out of disappointment with this marriage and indifference to his wife, Guo Moruo chose to go abroad But as we all know, Zhang Qionghua took care of his parents all his life.

After leaving Japan, Guo Moruo fell in love with his second wife, Wen Zi Sato. This woman broke off the relationship with her family for Guo Moruo and raised five children for him.

But what I didn't expect was that the Japanese wife that Guo Moruo really pursued at the beginning still failed to resist Guo Moruo's return to China, and there was no contact after that.

After returning to China, he soon fell in love with Yu Lichen. I didn't expect to be pregnant after the pursuit, so I forced him to abort the child and finally committed suicide with a grudge.

I thought this relationship was wonderful enough. Unexpectedly, Guo Moruo later lived with Yu Lichen's sister Yu Liqun and got married.

I suddenly feel that the poetic feelings in the book and the beautiful qualities of the literati have disappeared with the desecration of love and the collapse of love concept.

Guo Moruo, who admired such literary achievements, always thought that he was a great writer who was conscious and proud of the world, but found such a soul under the skin of his colleagues.

It is said that "everyone is responsible for himself". Perhaps it was this experience that made him a playwright. I use such an unknown reason to comfort myself who knows the truth.
