Guo Moruo’s Goddess has received attention from various sectors and has become one of the hot spots in study of modern Chinese literature since it is published. It exerts far-reaching ideological influence. Tracing to its source, it is not difficult to find the rich implication in Goddess’s creative thought, incorporation of both eastern and western life philosophic thinking and its skillful fusion of them. In the view of eastern and western comparison, Guo Moruo combines Bergson’s life philosophy, Spinoza’s pantheism and Goethe’s “Faust spirit” with China’s traditional life philosophy and forms his own poetic style. Such unique creation had opened new chapter of comparative poetics in China’s poetic circle in the 20th century.
