Genius and the People

Genius is not a monster that grows by itself in the deep forest wilderness. It is produced and bred by the people who can make genius grow. Therefore, there is no such kind of people. , there is no genius.

——Lu Xun's "The Grave Before the Genius"

Surrounded by vast emptiness, there is also the silence of death. I seemed to see the darkness before the eyes of those who died without love, and heard all the sounds of depression and desperate struggle. ——Lu Xun's "Sorrow"

To tell the truth requires courage

I often think in my distress that telling the truth naturally requires great courage. If you don’t have this courage and just settle for hypocrisy, then you are someone who cannot open up a new way of life.

——Lu Xun's "Sorrowful Death"

Walking quickly

I walked quickly, as if I wanted to rush out of something heavy, but Can't. Something was struggling in the ear, and after a long time, it finally struggled out, vaguely like a howling, like a wounded wolf howling in the wilderness late at night, the pain mixed with anger and sorrow.

Microscope

Yes, compared to the tall observatory, "essays" sometimes do look like a small My microscope work includes looking at dirty water and pus. Sometimes I study gonococci, and sometimes I dissect flies. For a superb scholar, it is insignificant, dirty, and even abominable, but for the laborer himself, it is a "serious work" that is related to life and is not very easy to do.

——Lu Xun "It is not easy to make "essays" from collections of Jiwaiji"

The soul of China is written all over history, indicating the future destiny, just because the coating is too thick, There is too much nonsense, so it is difficult to find out the details. Just like the moonlight projected through the dense leaves on the berry moss, only dots of broken shadows can be seen. But if you read unofficial histories and miscellaneous notes, it will be easier to understand, because after all, they don't have to put on the airs of historians.

————Lu Xun's "Hua Gai Ji Sudden Thought (4)"

Picking Flowers

The result of reading only one person's works is not good: you You won't get many advantages. It must be like a bee, picking many flowers before it can produce honey. If it stings in one place, the harvest will be very limited and boring.

——Lu Xun's "To Yan Limin"

True voice

Only true voice can move people in China and the world; there must be Only with a true voice can we live in the world with the people of the world.

Rooted in Love

When people feel lonely, they will create; when they feel clean, they will not He loved nothing more than creation.

Creation is always rooted in love.

Concealing and deceiving

...Chinese people have always had to conceal and deceive because they dare not face life seriously. , from which the literature and art of concealment and deception were born. From this literature and art, the Chinese people fell deeper into the swamp of concealment and deception, to the point where they no longer even realized it.

——Lu Xun's "Open Your Eyes on the Grave"

Bringing doctrine

...We must use our brains, broaden our horizons, and take it ourselves!

…

In short, we have to get it. We want to use it, store it, or destroy it. ...However, first of all, this person must be calm, courageous, discerning, and unselfish. Without something borrowed, people cannot become new people; without something borrowed, literature and art cannot become new literature and art.

Publish the truth

Young people can first turn China into a vocal China . Speak boldly, proceed bravely, forget all interests and risks, push away the ancients, and express your true words.

——Lu Xun's "San Xian Ji Silent China"

Being close to children

Anyone, even in middle age or even old age, if he is close to children , you will step into the long-forgotten frontier of the world of children, thinking about how the moon follows people and how the stars are embedded in the sky. But in his world, children are like fish in water, swimming freely and forgetting their own things. Adults are like people swimming in water. Although they also feel the smoothness and coolness of the water, they are still struggling, embarrassed, and unable to achieve the goal. Lu can't.

——Lu Xun's "Qiejieting Essays "Learning by Reading Pictures""

Manufacturing Machines

Today's so-called education, no matter which country in the world, actually They are just methods of making many machines that adapt to the environment.

It is necessary to develop each individual's personality appropriately; this time has not yet come, and it is uncertain whether there will be such a time in the future. I suspect that in the golden world in the future, traitors will also be punished with death. However, everyone still thinks it is a matter of the golden world. The main reason is that people are different and cannot be the same as printed books.

————Lu Xun's "Book of Two Places, Beijing IV"

Hope

When I thought about hope, I suddenly became afraid. When Runtu asked for the incense burner and candlestick, I laughed at him secretly, thinking that he always worshiped idols and never forgot them. Now what I call hope is not an idol made by myself. But his wish is close to me. The wish is just far away.

——Lu Xun's "Hometown"

Get rid of the air-conditioning

... I hope that all Chinese young people will get rid of the air-conditioning and just move up, without having to listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak out speak out. With a little heat and a little light, it can be like a firefly. It can also shine a little in the dark without waiting for a torch.

——Lu Xun's "Forty-one Reflections on the Hot Wind"

"Faith" is rare

Chinese people naturally have superstition and "faith", but it seems that Rarely "convinced." We used to respect the emperor the most, but on the one hand we wanted to play with him, and on the other hand we respected the concubine, but on the other hand we wanted to hang her up; we feared the gods, but burned paper money as bribes; we admired the hero, but were unwilling to make sacrifices for him. He worshiped Confucius as a famous Confucian and worshiped Buddhism at the same time. The warriors of Xinjia will be Xinding tomorrow.

Riding on the fence

There are probably two attitudes towards "holding the middle": one is " It’s either this or that”, the two “can be either this or this”. The former has no ideas, blind obedience, no following, or has unique opinions; but the situation is very dangerous... The latter is "riding on the wall" or "falling with the wind" in a very clever way. However, it is the most effective method in China, so the Chinese people's "maintaining the center" is probably this.

——Lu Xun's "Ji Wai Ji Let me tell you the truth about "holding the center""

Replacement

... I think the Chinese people who believe in fate I also believe that destiny can be transferred, but it is worthy of optimism. But for now. It is using superstition to transfer other superstitions, so in the final analysis, there is no difference. If this superstition can be replaced with proper principles and practices - science, then the idea of ??determinism will be separated from the Chinese people. .

————Lu Xun's "Qiejieting Essays and Destiny"

Dyeing Vat

China is probably too old, and everything in society, big or small, is terrible. , like a black dye vat, no matter what new things are added, it becomes pitch black. But there is no other way except to think of ways to reform. I think all idealists either miss the "past" or hope for the "future". When faced with the question of "present", they all turn in blank papers because no one can give a prescription.

——Lu Xun's "Book of Two Places, Beijing Four"

Whip

I hate those people who use whips to whip others.

The Eternal Slave

... He clearly knows that he is a slave, and he is struggling, unyielding, and struggling, while "intending" to break free or even trying to break free. Even if he fails temporarily, he is still shackled, but he is just a slave. If you find "beauty" in the life of a slave, admire it, caress it, and be intoxicated, you are simply a slave who will never be saved. He makes himself and others live in this life forever.

——Lu Xun's "Collected Curses in Southern and Northern Dialects"

Time is life

Time is life. Wasting other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to seeking wealth and murder.

Pure Water

Although a turbid stream is not as clean and clear as a glass of clear water, it has evaporated the turbid water. One part, but there are many cups of pure water.
