Sendai slogan

Why did Mr. Lu Xun shout this slogan? In fact, it has something to do with the times at that time. Everyone knows that Mr. Lu Xun cares about the country. The moral of this sentence is to awaken the sleeping people in China, strive for the development of the country and make it stronger.

But at that time, many people in China could not accept this concept, because they had no culture, and the simplified characters of Lu Xun's era were not popular, and they were all traditional characters. Although traditional Chinese characters have a long history, they are very difficult to learn, which hinders the development of education in China.

Mr. Lu Xun thinks that China people like to compromise in their bones. For example, if a room is too dark and someone wants to open the window, someone else must stop it and tell them all the bad things. But if such a person wants to tear down the roof, then others will turn to him to discuss opening the window. So Lu Xun supported the elimination of Chinese characters, just as he supported the demolition of roofs.

In a sense, Lu Xun's hatred of Chinese characters is not wrong. Why did he keep such difficult Chinese characters in ancient times? "The difficulty of Chinese characters is really a weapon for fools." For the sake of national stability, the ancient rulers were doomed to be unable to promote the reform of Chinese characters and would not try to improve the literacy rate. They kept silently encouraging Chinese characters, which hindered people of all ages from learning culture.

Traditional Chinese characters are too complicated for ordinary people to learn, which leads to cultural backwardness. After simplifying it and popularizing simplified characters, it will be much easier for ordinary people to learn, and China will prosper if he is sensible. This idea was put forward in the early years of the Republic of China, but it was opposed by Dai. It was not until 1956 that the simplification of traditional Chinese characters was officially promoted.

On his deathbed (1936 10), he said more firmly: "Chinese characters will not die, and China will die." The reason is: "Because Chinese characters are difficult, most people in China will always be isolated from advanced culture, and the people in China will never be smart enough to understand the oppression they have suffered and the crisis of the whole nation."

From now on, although what Mr. Lu Xun said is too hasty, we can understand it, because it is not difficult to see Mr. Lu Xun's good intentions of worrying about the country and the people.
