Lu Xun, whose original name was Zhou Shuren, was born in 1881 AD, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and he was a famous writer and thinker in China, one of the founders of modern Chinese literature, and a recognized great patriot.
But why did Mr. Lu Xun say that Chinese characters do not destroy the Chinese emperor?
To tell the truth, if you single out the eight characters of Chinese character immortality and Chinese emperor, it is a bit out of context.
Mr. Lu Xun's original text is like this, saying that if Chinese characters do not perish, China will perish.
Because the difficulty of Chinese characters is the cultural greece of the majority of the people in All China forever and forward.
The Chinese people will never be smart enough to understand the oppression they have suffered and the crisis of the whole nation.
I am a person who has suffered a lot of sweat and pain, so I firmly advocate replacing this kind of Chinese character that hinders the progress of the public with a new script.
This sentence has indeed caused a lot of controversy, and many people have misunderstood the meaning of it.
Mr. Lu Xun said that chinese characters refer to the immortality of the previous traditional characters, not to abolish, but to innovate.
Well, before the simplification, people were generally under-educated, and most people were illiterate.
Because Chinese characters are more complex, have many strokes, and have many homophones, they are very difficult to remember, resulting in a lot of misreading or misunderstanding.
But these do not mean that Chinese characters cannot evolve and reform, and Chinese characters cannot reflect only one aspect of the new cultural movement.
Why did Lu Xun oppose the use of Chinese characters by the Chinese?
It is nothing more than to think that the ignorance, ignorance, and insensitivity of the Chinese people are due to the lack of culture, and one of the reasons for the lack of culture is that Chinese characters are difficult to learn.
In fact, Mr. Lu Xun explained in an interview with reporters, but everyone stared at this other sentence and was not noticed.
Mr. Lu Xun explained it this way: Because.
At that time, China was in a closed state, and the so-called heavenly dynasty and the idea of the kingdom of Heaven bound people, who were unwilling to accept new things from abroad, and stuck to feudal ideas, seeking new ideas and seeking change.
This was a large number of intellectuals at that time who had brains, were willing to think about problems, had responsibilities, and were willing to face social problems, dissatisfied with the status quo and bitter about feudal society, and they eagerly hoped to see a positive and vigorous China.
The reason why Mr. Lu Xun said this at that time was because there were a small number of literati who were blindly arrogant, and China at that time was very backward, and he said such words and the environment at that time was closely related, and Mr. Lu Xun's temper and style of writing were well known, so he could understand this expression.
Well, after the founding of New China, our country also organized the simplification of Chinese characters, which is difficult to say that it was not inspired by Mr. Lu Xun, because the times should progress, and the characters have evolved through a long period of time, and they also need to be simplified and modified when necessary.
Well.
