Goddess - Joshin

A collection of poems and verse dramas by the Chinese writer Guo Moruo. Published in August 1921 by Taidong Book Company, Shanghai, first class in the Creative Society series. This is the author's first collection of poems, and includes 56 poems in addition to the prologue. The earliest poem was written in 1918, and a few were written when he returned to China in 1921, but most of the poems were written in 1919 and 1920 while he was studying in Japan. There were earlier collections of colloquial poetry, such as Hu Shi's "Chōshi Ji" (1920), but this is said to be the first new collection of poems in terms of quality, and best represents the spirit of the May Fourth Movement, in that it directly sings of the ego and rebellion of the May Fourth Movement era. It is an outstanding collection of the author's many works in that it vividly blooms with the romanticism that is the author's temperament.

中国の作家郭沫若(かくまつじゃく)の詩・詩劇集。1921年8月、上海(シャンハイ)泰東書局刊、創造社叢書(そうしょ)第一種。作者の処女詩集で、序詩のほか56編を収める。もっとも早い詩が1918年作、一部分が21年に帰国したときの作であるのを除いて、大部分が日本留学中の19、20年の作。口語詩集としては胡適(こてき)の『嘗試集』（1920）など、これに先だつものも出ていたが、五・四運動時代の自我と反逆の主張を直截(ちょくせつ)に歌い上げた点で、五・四の精神をもっともよく代表し、質的には最初の新詩集であるとされる。作者の気質でもあるロマンチシズムが鮮やかに花開いている点で、作者の数多い作品中でも出色のものである。
