Lu Xun's Contribution to China Literature

Lu Xun's contribution to the history of China literature has three points:

First, as one of the leading figures in the New Culture Movement, together with Hu Shi, Chen Duxiu, Liu Bannong, Qian and others, * * created China's vernacular literature.

His work Diary of a Madman is generally regarded as the first modern vernacular novel in the history of China literature (different from the ancient vernacular novels such as A Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the Three Kingdoms), and his prose poem Weeds has also become the most representative collection of prose poems in the history of modern literature in China. This is the first step to open up the atmosphere.

Secondly, he participated in the initiation of the first literary society in the history of China literature-Literature Research Association, and translated and introduced many foreign literary works. His translations such as Destruction and Dead Soul are still immortal. It also influenced a generation of writers.

Thirdly, it created the style of "essays" and became a model for China intellectuals to directly intervene in society and fight against the dark reality and the ignorant people. His words are like aphorisms, criticizing the shortcomings without mercy. It can be said that he became the greatest spiritual mentor of China intellectuals before creating a generation of ethos.

Others include, for example, New Stories created the interpretation paradigm of "classic rereading", Weeds introduced many western modernist literary factors, and A Brief History of China's Novels is the first complete history of China's novels, which has extremely important literary significance, and so on. These are all valuable legacies left by Lu Xun to China's literary history. Lu Xun's articles and actions have a far-reaching impact on later generations.

Personality influence

1, academic influence

As an academic researcher, on the one hand, Lu Xun used western literary concepts to study China's classical novels and wrote A Brief History of China's Novels, which not only ended the era of "China's novels have no history", but also created a typical work in the history of literature and "opened countless methods for later study". Guo Moruo and Wang Guowei's History of Song and Yuan Dynasties is called a double gem in the modern academic history of China.

On the other hand, he collated dozens of ancient books, such as Ancient Fiction, Ji, Han Portrait Collection, and Miscellaneous Collection of Old Books in Huiji County, which left great wealth for future generations to study classical literature.

2. Mental influence

Lu Xun is the soul of china of modern China, and his spirit has a far-reaching influence on his readers, researchers and even generations of modern writers and intellectuals in China. Lu Xun is also one of the world cultural giants in the 20th century.

With his unique personal style, he created the literature "China people should participate in the cause of the present world", "both internal and external cultivation, integration with the world trend of the times, but did not stifle China's nationality". Like the outstanding thinkers and writers in the world at the same time, he paid attention to the problems faced by mankind and made his own unique contribution.
