《李白与杜甫》,不是一部纯粹的学术著作 ,而是一部以学术研究之名 ,自我反省、自我总结、愤时感世之作。郭沫若借李白与杜甫之躯 ,对自己进行了沉痛而严酷的解剖。对知识分子的历史地位 ,知识分子好高鹜远的用世心态 ,知识分子的软弱特性 ,知识分子的穷愁潦倒 ,都作了入木三分的分析。同时还对大唐盛世统治集团内部父子兄弟之争提出了尖锐的批评。这是郭沫若晚年所处特殊年代的一部觉悟书。 “Li Bai and Du Fu” is not a purely academic book but a poem made by the world in the name of academic study, self-examination, self-summary and indignation. Guo Moruo borrowed Li Bai and Du Fu’s body, painful and harsh anatomy of their own. The historical status of intellectuals, intellectuals far-reaching worldly state of mind, the weak characteristics of intellectuals, intellectuals in despair, have made a third analysis. At the same time, they also sharply criticized the dispute between father and brother inside Datong’s ruling circles. This is an enlightenment book written by Guo Moruo in his particular age in his later years.
