Reading Lu Xun and Zhang Ailing, even if they don't agree with it, they always feel like "their own people". Zhou Zuoren is a miscellaneous writer in literature, his writing is very clean and simple, but there is no creativity, just chatter; Hu Lancheng is a newspaperman, a warlock, a longitudinal and horizontal family, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others.
In modern times, my favorite is Lu Xun's writing, in addition to his social and historical significance, his writing is very beautiful. You can not be religious, but that doesn't stop you from appreciating churches. A Lu Xun and a Zhang Ailing both know how to regulate words.
Lu Xun was inspired by Nietzsche in his early years, and his talent and character were also in line with Nietzsche, but later he gave up halfway, and in his later years, Lu Xun, Nietzsche's influence completely disappeared. Why? Confucianism is too powerful.
Lu Xun's "Non-Attack", written by Mozi, is very well written and humorous, but humor cannot save China.
Wei and Jin demeanor, Lu Xun originally wanted to praise, but he said it wrong. The style of the Wei and Jin people and their literature is also the highest in the world. Their individualism is also thorough. That's what I was affected by.
Lu Xun couldn't figure out his own mentality. He loved Wei Jin, but when he said it, it became a sarcasm to cancel Wei Jin. ...... "Wei Jin", it can really be called "unspeakable".
Lu Xun's large number of satirical essays are too specific for anyone to read today. Big rebellion, looking for big themes. It was Nietzsche who attacked God. It was Lao Tzu who attacked the universe. They never refer to specific people or things.
Voltaire's significance is relatively large, cosmopolitan. Lu Xun is more Republican and thirties.
After the Warring States period, China did not produce great thinkers. Lu Xun is a character. In his early ideological manifesto "Moro Poetic Theory", he praised Byron, thinking that in order to save China, it was necessary to advocate the "demonic spirit", but unfortunately Mr. Lu Xun's ambition was only in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement, but it was a pity that he had just begun to doubt and found faith.
Knowledge and learning are disguised, but character cannot be disguised. Lu Xun, before the scholar and professor could see it clearly, he scolded.
Lu Xun, he cares too much about the people he scolds, and he himself knows that he is far higher than those people, but he still scolds non-stop, he looks up to them too much, there is no way, it is the reason for his character.
Is Lu Xun really art for life? His outlook on life is still relatively narrow. His answer to life is still relatively basic.
I read Lu Xun's essays, and I was happy; You see, it is quick and not painful; To the next generation, it is not painful or unhappy - now the lighthouse is moving, the height is not high, and it is only a hundred years in between.
Liang Qichao, Zhang Taiyan, Hu Shi, and Lu Xun all turned against Confucius, but in the end they were still shrouded in the shadow of Confucius. The collective subconscious of China is like this, servile idealism. Always find someone to rely on.
The sorrow and pain of artists and poets are divided into two levels, one is the level of the mind and the heart, the despair of the universe, the world, mankind, and human nature. The other is the level of the feeling of reality, the despair of society, interpersonal relationships, and encounters. Gorky, Lu Xun, and Romain Rolland have a lower level, and they may not think deeply about the above level (that is, the universe, the world, the human condition, and the nature of human nature).
Gorky thought that Tuo was an evil genius, while China, represented by Lu Xun, thought that Tuo was cruel. To evaluate a great person, what kind of character are you? This is a fatal problem. Nietzsche, Gide, as soon as they saw it, fell down to Toh.
Patriotic literati used their conscience as a weapon to rush and kill, and Lu Xun also pretended to be a soldier. …… Lu Xun wrote "Morning Flowers and Sunset", it's good, he is an artist, one hot and two light.
Relying on literature and art to solve social problems was miscalculated from the beginning. I never wanted to save people with my pen. Lu Xun, the thesis to transform the national character, completely failed. However, Lu Xun's literature is undoubtedly the first person since May Fourth.
Lu Xun benefited from the influence of Russian literature and wrote short stories. His cultivation of classical Chinese literature is also first-class. But he received limited and his achievements were limited.
China will not be romantic and beautiful, but will give the Tang and Song Dynasty people romance and beauty. There have been realisms, but Lu Xun, Mao Dun, and Ba Jin are not as high as Tuo's and Tuo's. Lu Xun's poetry and philosophy are not enough to write a long chapter.
Since May Fourth, there has not been a single critic of sufficient weight in China! Out of a warrior, Mr. Lu Xun, out of an educator, Mr. Cai Yuanpei. Without critics, where is the suffering? Until now, it is not a question of who is good and who is bad, but a question of what is good and what is bad. Lu Xun did not take on these, he was enthusiastic about the details, no matter how well he put it, it was still the details. Let Lu Xun comment, he can't take it anymore. …… Lu Xun lacked his own theories in literature, nor did he lack a cosmopolitan view of art. Talking about painting, talking about woodcuts. Lu Xun never talked about music.
Now it seems that modern times are fortunate to have a Lu Xun, otherwise it would be even more barren. Lu Xun later went to do the thing of "setting up this record", and the object was the news, and it was a bit of a waste to make literature and save photos for the news. News can't be made. On the whole, Lu Xun is very good, and regrets have not yet been developed.
Lu Xun's world view and cosmology once touched Buddhism and avoided it. Nietzsche also touched it and avoided it. They are all anxious to establish their outlook on life.
Liang Qichao, Chen Duxiu, Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, and Lu Xun are all thinking about how to save China, what is China's national character, and so on. But the big question for post-war Westerners - what is human existence? What is man's place in the world? How people should see the world – these thinkers seldom think about it.
Lu Xun and the others came out of the halfway and halfway from the outlook on life, and their worldview is immature, let alone cosmology. They are often easily persuaded by political views and pulled over.
Frequent involvement in political activities, becoming an intellectual leader, this kind of thing can be done in France, but in China, it is too troublesome. If Lu Xun has a long life, he will inevitably be pushed to this status.
They exaggerate the evils of reality with a heavy heart and write about it. With a black mentality, humor with words is the humor of grief and pain. Lu Xun's humor has a similar tendency, but Lu Xun cannot be called a desperate. He has a red component, more black and less red, and Lu Xun is purple humor.
The Zhou brothers have a good foundation in ancient literature, but they are unwilling to continue the tradition head-on, and they always write limericks.
(Talking about Lu Xun's understanding of Western culture) Lu Xun has boundaries and limitations. It is also not transparent to the West. You don't say "not too transparent", either it is transparent or it is not transparent, what does "not very transparent" mean? Can I say I "don't quite understand" what you mean? You see if that is said in my book.
