1, diary of a madman
Diary of a Madman, written in April of 19 18, is the first short vernacular diary novel written by Lu Xun and the first modern vernacular novel written by China. This article was first published on May 19 18 in No.5, Volume 4 of New Youth, and was later included in Scream and compiled into Volume 1 of Complete Works of Lu Xun.
Through the image of the persecuted madman and the self-description of the madman, the novel reveals the "cannibalism" essence of feudal ethics, and shows the author's resistance to China feudal culture with feudal ethics as its main connotation. It also shows the author's profound sense of repentance.
From the standpoint of radical "revolutionary democracy", the author deeply reflected on China's culture, and at the same time expressed his deep concern and indignation for China and even the future of mankind.
2. A brief history of China's novels
A Brief History of Chinese Novels is the first monograph written by Lu Xun, a modern writer, which systematically discusses the development history of China's novels. This monograph, from ancient myths and legends to condemnation novels in the late Qing Dynasty, comprehensively discusses the origin and evolution of China's novels, accurately evaluates the representative novelists and works in various historical periods in China, and deeply analyzes the internal relations between the novels in the early and late periods.
When discussing the development and evolution of China's novels, the author not only looks for clues from the literature itself, but also pays special attention to the phenomenon of novel literature in a certain social background, analyzes the influence of political and economic conditions, social atmosphere and academic thoughts on novels at that time, and expounds the law of the development of China's novels from the perspective of their mutual relationship, function and reaction.
With profound insights, rich materials and clear clues, he gave a concise summary of the historical development of China's novels. The monograph is rich in materials, accurate in analysis, rigorous in structure, clear in context and rich in content, which fills the gap in the history of novel research.
3. The Book of Two Places
The first part of The Book of Two Places is about a female normal university, without any affection or love. The second part is the communication between Xiamen and Guangzhou. There are many trivial things in life, and love is beyond words. The third part is the communication between Beijing and Shanghai, which is also full of trivial matters, and the feelings of concern are beyond words.
I think all intellectuals in China should know something about Lu Xun. At that time, Lu Xun was a banner of China culture, not only a representative of new culture, but also a signpost for young intellectuals, and a cultural direction of the times. Mao Zedong once spoke highly of Lu Xun, which I think should be recognized by most people in China.
But not many people know about Xu Guangping. And most of them stay at the level of "Mrs. Lu Xun". Under the aura of Lu Xun, it is difficult to shine again.
