On Guo Moruo's Aesthetic Thinking

Guo Moruo, as a knowledgeable cultural giant, has made great achievements in many academic fields. Guo Moruo's aesthetic idea involves very extensive fields such as literature, philosophy, history, archaeology, and philology. In order to provide constructive thinking resources for Chinese literature, historical theory and aesthetic literature and art, it is significant for us to deeply explore and systematically study Guo Moruo's aesthetic thinking.To have a comprehensive investigation and systematic study on Guo Moruo's aesthetic thinking, the thesis consists of five chapters, hi the first chapter, the author offers a general survey of the studies of Guo Moruo. In the second chapter, the author explains the theoretical resource of Guo Moruo's aesthetic idea. In the third chapter, the author discusses Guo Moruo's literary or art aesthetic idea. In the fourth chapter, the author analyzes the historical archaeological studies and aesthetic explanation. In the fifth chapter, the author sums up Guo Moruo's literary or an criticism.In chapter two, the author discovers the theoretical structure and historical orientation from the ideological and cultural resources such as western and eastern literature, philosophy, and aesthetic thinking. The forming of Guo Moruo's aesthetic thinking, in a great degree, benefits from the profound influence of western expressionism.
