This sentence has a moral: tragedy is based on "life" and "value", and comedy is based on "life" and "worthlessness". Moreover, sadness is the embodiment of human viewpoint, because it is valuable, and only in this way can it feel sad; Comedy, on the other hand, is the embodiment of impersonal views, which is ridiculous and worthless. The key to tragedy and comedy is not how it ends, or just how it ends, but what you think, so you look at it with two completely different eyes.
Creative background:
The Collapse of Leifeng Pagoda is a famous work known to all women and children. However, in addition, not many people may know another article by Mr. Lu Xun about the Leifeng Tower. And Mr. Wang's famous saying, "Tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to see, and comedy tears the worthless things for people to see", which is almost unknown to people who study literature.
1February 6, 925, that is, more than a month after the publication of his first article about the Leifeng Pagoda, Mr. Lu Xun once again picked up a pen and threw "daggers and spears" at those superstitious brick diggers, which eventually led to the destruction of the Leifeng Pagoda.
The above original text is the discussion on the collapse of Leifeng Tower, originally published in1February 23, 925,No. 15 of Yusi Weekly.
