“杂文家”鲁迅的诞生

Abstract

Evaluations of LU Xun as a poet are well-established. Beginning with The criticism of LU Xun (Changzhi LI 1935), “An Epilogue on A collection of Classical Chinese poetry by Lu Xun” (Shoushang XU 1944) , “A preface of Lu Xu’s draft poem” (Moruo GUO 1961), and up through more recent studies of LU Xun,all of which continue focus on his collections of prose poetry―Wild Grass (YeCao),which is a kind of traditional Chinese Poetry.However,these do not show that there was no difference between LU Xun himself and the evaluation of “the poet LU Xun”.LU Xun himself attached great importance to Classical Literature, while he also tried to create a new way for the times. That is “literature miscellany”. We can see his love and pride of these works, nearly a conceit. Lu Xun’s achievements in literature were enough to prove that he was a “poet”. However, trying to stand in LU Xun’s shoes,I do not think that continuing to focus on him as a “poet” will lead to the true understanding of Lu Xun. I would like to evaluate squarely the time when he lived,as a “miscellanist”.
