"China Soul" and Luxun's Novels

This paper mainly discusses the tragic consciousness in Lu Xun's novels from the social background and the author's life foundation, and also discusses the social profundity of his novels' tragedies. The author thinks that the social situation of China modern society and Lu Xun's own life foundation are the external conditions and internal factors for the tragic consciousness in his novels. The modern history of suffering has soaked the blood and tears of the whole society in China. The family changes in Lu Xun's childhood and the experience of studying in his youth are the core to make his thoughts turn to sorrow. The tragic consciousness of his novels has profound sociality. Understanding these problems will help us to deeply understand Lu Xun's novels and the ideological content of Lu Xun's novels more thoroughly.

Some people say that there is no real tragedy in China, and there is some truth. In our ancient literature, it is really hard to find works that can be called real tragedies. The so-called real tragedy refers to the tragedy written by Aeschylus in ancient Greece, the tragedy of Oedipus, the tragedy of Shakespeare, and the profound and thorough tragedy. Such a tragedy is really hard to find in our ancient literature. It seems that our ancestors didn't like tragedy very much. They always wanted to be happy. Some tragic works often end in comedy, which gives readers and audiences a psychological satisfaction. Otherwise, if the audience walked out of the theater with tears in their eyes and a heavy heart, they wouldn't do it. In ancient literature, the most tragic work is probably the Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu. It is said that when Tang Xianzu wrote this script, he hid in the woodshed and cried for three days and nights, just like Balzac cried for his old man. Another actor died on the stage on the spot because of excessive sadness when singing Peony Pavilion. After watching the Peony Pavilion, an infatuated woman couldn't help but write, "I couldn't bear to listen outside the window and watched the Peony Pavilion again. There are idiots like me in the world, and only Xiaoqing is sad. " It can be seen how sad this work is, but this work, which can be called China's first tragedy, finally has a happy ending. Others, such as Du Shiniang's Wrath Box, always make people feel that their sadness is incomplete and they are not enough.

Mr. Lu Xun. Mr. Wang has his own unique understanding of tragedy. He thinks that tragedy is "destroying something really valuable for people to see". Comedy certainly makes us satisfied, but tragedy makes us think more; Comedy makes us yearn for the beauty of life, but tragedy makes us face the suffering of life. There is comedy in life, but there are many tragedies in life. We say that Lu Xun's novels are real tragedies in the history of China literature, not from the perspective of how many tears his works can earn readers. If the number of tears is used as the standard to evaluate tragedy, then Lu Xun's novels are not tragedies anyway; Only the earlier film "Mom loves me again" can the recent "Happy Mom" be called a "tear gas" tragedy. But from the social depth of tragedy, these two films can't be compared with Lu Xun's novels at all. We often say that Lu Xun's novels are "tears in laughter", and this evaluation properly reveals the tragic characteristics of Lu Xun's novels. "Laughter" is the external formal feature of his novels, and "tears" is the essence of "laughter". "Laughter" is the first reaction, and "tears" are the result of deep thought. Lu Xun's novels wrapped the core of "tears" with the coat of "laughter". Therefore, the essence of Lu Xun's novels is tragic and deeply tragic. For example, his first vernacular novel, Diary of a Madman, laid the tone of his novel tragedy, while others such as A.

Any work is the product of the times, and it is bound to bear the brand of the author's time. Even if it is an event that reflects the previous era, it is impossible not to have the shadow of this era in it. Therefore, to discuss the formation characteristics of the ideological content of a work, we must talk about the social background of the author. Lu Xun's novels originated from the historical background of modern society in China. Naturally, his novels are deeply influenced by the times, and the formation of his tragic consciousness is closely related to the social background at that time. So, what are the characteristics of the social situation in this historical period?

The modern history of China is a history of humiliation. From the First Opium War to the founding of New China, our nation experienced more than one hundred years of war baptism. Even when Lu Xun was alive, we had suffered from war disasters in 70 or 80 years. After years of passive bullying, every cell in China society has been soaked with tears, and the hearts of China people have already been soaked with blood and tears. China people who grew up in blood and tears had several sad memories. It can be said that tragedy almost became something in the bone marrow of everyone in China at that time.

It can be seen that Lu Xun gave up medicine to change the indifference and numbness of the people. He was worried and angry. It is doomed that his article will inevitably have a deep tragic atmosphere. This tragic atmosphere is obviously endowed by the times and the suffering modern society.

Lu Xun's early ideological characteristics are inseparable from his life experience. My family suddenly fell into poverty from a well-off society, and I tasted the warmth and warmth of the world at an early age; Go abroad for novelty; He changed his dreams several times and established the ideal of saving the country by literature ... This series of experiences had a decisive influence on his early thoughts. The family changes made him feel the indifference of cool thin and ordinary people. Seeing that China people were discriminated against abroad aroused his strong national pride; China people's own disappointment made him grieved and determined to transform the national character; The influence of evolution on him makes him always full of hope for the future ... His dream has changed several times, but he has never got rid of the core of saving the country and the people. On the one hand, it is the weak national reality, on the other hand, it is the ignorance and numbness of the people, which urges Lu Xun to express this reality with a sad mood, and urges the people with tragic feelings of mourning his misfortune and angering him, which naturally makes his works inevitably have a deep sense of tragedy.

Exploring the national character is Lu Xun's lifelong career. The issue of national character has always been a painful issue for Lu Xun, who built his own novel world around the great historical enlightenment. Among many factors that caused the tragic fate of dynasties, highlighting the distortion and strangulation of people's minds by cultural factors is the basic focus of the creation of Scream and Hesitation. In his novels, although the members of the cannibal lineage such as Grandpa Zhao, Master Lu, Mr. Four Chromium and the Seven Great Men were properly criticized, they did not hesitate to squeeze out their subconscious meanness for public exhibition. But more attention is paid to the harsh analysis of stupid and weak citizens. The particularly cruel reality is that people like Xianglinsao and A.

What Lu Xun wants to reveal is the inferiority of national character. In his view, the masses will always be publicly displayed materials and will always be numb spectators. With a sharp pen, he will expose the ugliness hidden in the soul of China people, attract the attention of enlighteners and social reformers, and change the national character.
