The more national it is, the more cosmopolitan it is. Did Hegel or Lu Xun say this?
In recent years, a so-called "famous saying" of Lu Xun has prevailed: "The more national, the more cosmopolitan." However, after searching the Complete Works of Lu Xun, there is no trace of this famous saying. In fact, Lu Xun's original words are as follows: woodcut has not developed greatly, so my opinion is first of all attracting the attention and attention of the general reading community, so I get appreciation and adoption, which means that the road will be opened up, and the road will be opened up, and the activity will increase ... Now the literature is the same, with local color, it is easy to become the world's attention, that is, it will be noticed by other countries. Going abroad is beneficial to China's activities. ("To Chen Yanqiao", April 19, 1934, see "Complete Works of Lu Xun", Volume 13, page 81, People's Literature Publishing House, 25)

Lu Xun talked about the local color of literature and art here from the perspective of woodcut and painting. Based on his years of creative experience and the experience of world literature and art, he came to the incisive conclusion that "something with local color is easy to become the world's". However, can we change "local color" into "national" and still be correct? Obviously not.

In short, the so-called "national" can refer to a certain aspect of a nation's characteristics, such as the fierce riding and shooting of the Mongols, the Water-splashing Festival of the Dai people, the marriage system of the Lugu people, etc., and it will never become the so-called "world-wide" of other nationalities.

generally speaking, "national" can also refer to the nationality of a nation. For example, a nation is hardworking, a nation is United and aggressive, and so on. These "national characteristics" will never become "world-wide". Every nation has its own advantages and disadvantages. If the shortcomings are serious, it will become a national inferiority, and this will not become a "world". For example, China's ancient national bad habits, women wrapped their feet and men dragged their tails, how could they become "world-wide"? Some ethnic groups are bloodthirsty, cruel and aggressive. Can they also become "world-class"?

Therefore, no matter from what aspect, "the more national, the more global." Cannot be established; After all, Lu Xun's original words are correct: "(literature and art) with local color is easy to become the world."
