On Guo Moruo’s Creative Temperament

As an original poet and dramatist in the history of modern Chinese literature,Guo Moruo fully shows the consciousness of the founder in the practical experience of literary creation.The text of his works is full of creative passion and contains the idea of old and new.This temperament is closely related to Guo Moruo’s artistic thinking,cultural psychology and even deep spiritual structure.It is an effective way to explore the deep restriction mechanism in Guo Moruo’s artistic creation law,and also plays a fundamental role in establishing the literary history value of Guo Moruo’s literary creation.This paper explores the complex and multiple factors that affect Guo Moruo’s creative personality from the aspects of social background,regional culture,family composition,school experience and so on.Through Guo Moruo’s whole life of literary exploration and pursuit,with the three identity marks of "traitor","drifter" and "visionary" as the core,this paper investigates the unity of norm and typicality,criticism and construction,independence and adaptability in Guo Moruo’s creative temperament.As a "natural rebel" born in the "regeneration era" of the 20 th century,Guo Moruo developed the characteristics of rebellious,challenging authority and disdaining idols under the call of breaking the traditional spirit of the times.He releases the great power of resistance and destruction with the shaping of heroes,carries the life meaning of rebellion and creation,destruction and rebirth with the spiritual symbol of goddess,and injects new and fresh spiritual energy into modern Chinese thought and culture.Driven by the determined rebellious consciousness,Guo Moruo broke through and ran away from one world after another at both the realistic and spiritual levels.After the establishment and destruction of the three idols of "parents","teachers" and "brothers",Guo Moruo became a breakthrough of the times,environment and self,At different stages of life,we always stand at the forefront of the trend of the times with the self construction mechanism of daily renewal.At the same time,after breaking through the encirclement and leaving,he was in a wandering state of denying his place of origin and losing his place of return.He constructed the writer’s self in the sense of modern subject in a foreign country as a "wanderer".In the process of continuous experiment and tortuous exploration in literature,he was committed to finding and rebuilding the ideal appeal of spiritual hometown.As the forerunners of the times,modern intellectuals seek identity and realize self-worth in ideological innovation and social transformation,and consciously shoulder the historical mission of enlightenment and national salvation.This means that they will directly experience the realistic pressure determined by the grand historical background.Their self-development is often limited by historical limitations everywhere,so they fall into the dilemma of binary contradiction in literary creation.Under the grand background of the times,the creative temperament formed by Guo Moruo is not only pioneering,which has achieved his literary creation,but also restrictive,which limits his creation.The achievements and shortcomings of the three genres of poetry,historical drama and novel show the limitations of Guo Moruo in the development of literature as a "creator" who can not complete himself.According to Guo Moruo’s literary creation achievements and readers’ acceptance,we can demonstrate the correlation and difference between the classics of literary history and literary classics,and then discuss the formation mechanism and composition of literary classics,as well as Guo Moruo’s real literary value and positioning.
