This book primarily reflects the author's literary activities from the founding of New China to the onset of the Cultural Revolution. Although Guo Moruo himself believed that many of his poems written after 1949 were not truly poetry, these works have been included in the Literary Series of the Guo Moruo Collected Works and should still be considered part of his overall literary creation. Moreover, from the perspective of verifying historical events with poetry, these works remain meaningful material. For this reason, the book also touches on some of the author's state affairs. For a literary figure and political activist with a strong sense of achievement, who integrated the spirit of self-expression into his literary works, including these aspects is only natural.
