Abstract

Guo Moruo is one of the founders of Chinese new poems. His collection Goddess borrows a lot of mythological themes in theme and image, among which The Rebirth of the Goddess borrows themes such as Nuwa repairing the sky and Gong Gong angrily hitting Mount Buzhou. These mythological constructions are metaphors for the reality of China at that time, and express the poet’s imagination and desire for the era of democracy and peace. It is precisely for this reason that primitive myths can be reinterpreted in the poet’s writings and obtain a different era personality.
