The Chinese nation has a long history of 5,000 years and has given birth to many heroic sons and daughters. When the country is in crisis, he took the initiative to rush to the front line, went deep into the grassroots to find solutions when the country was poor, and went overseas to learn advanced knowledge when the country was backward in science and technology. There are not a few sons and daughters of China who have such heroic spirit.
Pushing the era to that turbulent era, there are not a few literati and writers who have thrown their pen to paper. Mr. Lu Xun was one of them, but he abandoned medicine and literature, and wanted to depict and expose the darkness and decay of China from the bottom up at that time through the pen and brush. Until the period of reform and opening up, Mr. Lu Xun's ideas were recognized by the majority of the people, and many of his works were compiled into primary and secondary school textbooks, becoming a model of contemporary literature.
With the development of the times, the term "de-Lu Xunization" has been widely spread in society, and more and more people believe that today's era and society have been very different from the ideas that Mr. Lu Xun upheld, and many experts and scholars have also made a detailed analysis and criticism of Mr. Lu Xun's thoughts, believing that such education will have a bad impact on young people. So, what exactly is "de-Lu Xunization"?
The significance and profound impact of "de-Lu Xunization".
As an important milestone in the history of mainland literature, Lu Xun has tens of thousands of readers and fans. From the early days of the Republic of China, Mr. Lu Xun criticized the dark and corrupt forces in China with his sharp and direct style, and spoke out for the people living in dire straits, which can be described as the savior of the people and the spiritual leader of the people at that time.
Nowadays, the emergence of the term "de-Lu Xun" has made the hearts of readers and fans who support and love Lu Xun tight, even if they were once representatives of the people and pioneers of attacking unequal forces, they cannot fit in with the modern cultural spirit. The times are developing, and the spirit and mind are also constantly developing, and we should abandon everything that is derailed from the times.
The "de-Lu Xunization" does not call on the society and the people to forget Lu Xun, but takes the primary and secondary school textbooks as the starting point and removes some of Lu Xun's works and articles from the textbooks. Nowadays, more and more writers and scholars believe that Lu Xun has been over-interpreted by the world, and Lu Xun is not qualified for such a historical position.
Whether Mr. Lu Xun has really been over-interpreted, we have no way to investigate, people living in history, always have to withstand criticism and praise, mixed evaluations also represent the different values of different groups of people in today's era.
For the time being, "de-Lu Xunization" means eliminating the content of primary and secondary school textbooks. Relevant experts from the Ministry of Education and contemporary authors said that the reason for the "de-Lu Xunization" is that Mr. Lu Xun's articles are too esoteric and difficult to understand, and for primary and middle school students, such articles are not within the scope of their acceptance, and it is very difficult to study. With the progress of the times, more and more excellent contemporary writers continue to emerge, creating more excellent works that are in line with today's core values, and it is a better choice for young people to read more new books.
The emergence of this proposal has been recognized by the public in a short period of time. Experts and scholars in the field of education also believe that because Mr. Lu Xun's style and the essence of the article are too sharp and harsh, the content of his exposure and criticism is also very different from that of today's society.
It is precisely because of a series of problems such as the profound content of his articles, the wide range of metaphors, and the obscurity that Lu Xun's works were gradually removed from primary and secondary school textbooks around 2010.
Different perceptions of all walks of life on "de-Lu Xunization".
Different groups of people also have different views on the different perceptions of "de-Lu Xunization". Some people think that "de-Lu Xunization" seems to be good, but in the final analysis, it is disrespectful to literature. Lu Xun grew up in that dark era, and the content and style of his literary works were also laid by the general environment of that era.
Secondly, the way each of us knows Lu Xun is from the textbooks of primary school and junior high school, only to learn about this literary pioneer who understands the righteousness and considers the people, if it is deleted from the primary school textbook, then Lu Xun will be forgotten by people in the future, and he has lost his learning and understanding of Mr. Lu Xun since the beginning of school, and when he enters the society, the heavy pressure will make people have no time to take care of who Lu Xun is.
There are also some people who believe that "de-Lu Xunization" is just to delete Lu Xun's articles in primary and secondary schools to reduce the learning pressure of children in the classroom and school, and children who want to learn and understand can still read Lu Xun's works in their spare time.
However, in practical terms, the author believes that the second argument is not convincing. First of all, even if Lu Xun's works are banned and deleted in primary and secondary school textbooks, it is impossible to reduce the learning pressure of students at this stage, and the so-called learning pressure is not caused by the appearance of Mr. Lu Xun's articles, even if Lu Xun's articles are deleted and replaced by other types of articles and contents, students still need to learn;
Unless parents and teachers are compulsory, no child is willing to continue to read after finishing homework or on weekends, let alone reading articles like Lu Xun; finally, "de-Lu Xunization" is of course also a double-edged sword, the pros and cons are intertwined, how to understand the pros and cons contained in it, but also the benevolent and the wise see the wise.
Mo Yan Yuhua's views on "de-Lu Xunization".
Even if the "de-Lu Xunization" was finally a foregone conclusion, and Lu Xun's works could not keep up with the trend of the times to announce that his articles had left primary and secondary school textbooks, several peaks in the field of literature still came forward to prove Lu Xun. Among them, world-famous writers such as Mo Yan and Yu Hua are loyal fans of Lu Xun.
As the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature and the first writer in mainland China to win the Nobel Prize, Mr. Mo Yan has more say on this topic than him. Many international writers believe that Mo Yan's award-winning work is modeled on the magical realist novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude", but Mr. Mo Yan responded: He was influenced by Mr. Lu Xun's "Casting Sword", and if it comes to magical reality, Lu Xun is the first in the world.
Not long ago, Mo Yan also said such a sentence in front of reporters and media: he admires Mr. Lu Xun, and he and Mr. Lu Xun cannot be compared, if he can, he is willing to use what he has learned all his life to write, in exchange for an article like "The True Story of Ah Q", he also admitted frankly that it is precisely because of the influence of Mr. Lu Xun that he embarked on the road of being a writer, and before he became famous, many works like to imitate Mr. Lu Xun's structure, and he is still influenced by Mr. Lu Xun to this day. Today's achievements are most directly related to the many years of reading Mr. Lu Xun's works.
Although Mr. Yu Hua did not win the Nobel Prize, as the first famous writer to go abroad, he also has a high reputation in the field of world literature. Like most people, he once thought that Mr. Lu Xun's article was too difficult for primary and secondary school students to understand its connotation. As he grew older, he changed this point of view, until after reading "Diary of a Madman" many times, he was completely impressed by Mr. Lu Xun's literary literacy.
Since then, he has been working hard until his masterpiece "Alive" came out, which introduced the world to this realist writer from China. From these two books by Mr. Yu Hua, it is not difficult to see that the details are similar to those of Mr. Lu Xun. And Fugui, the protagonist of "Alive", has more similarities with Lu Xun's Kong Yiji. Both domestic and foreign readers believe that Yu Hua is the inheritor of the contemporary Lu Xun spirit, and Yu Hua has also said that the person who led him on the road of literary creation is Mr. Lu Xun.
Brief summary:
The times are developing, human beings are progressing, and ideas and culture are also undergoing earth-shaking changes. What was praised many years ago may not be understood by everyone today, and the same is true of literature.
The author believes that there is no right or wrong in literary creation, there are only differences in the environment, class and society in which the author lives, and these factors determine a person's creative style. We have to admit that Mr. Lu Xun's articles are indeed profound and difficult to understand, but we cannot deny that his articles have made special contributions to society.
We can't prevent students from understanding because it's difficult to understand, and we can't prevent people from understanding the corrupt and dark society through articles because people live in today's peaceful and stable society. Only by strengthening students' ideological and moral construction and strengthening their appreciation and understanding of historical and literary works can we better enable students to develop in an all-round way and cultivate more outstanding young talents.
