Expand the influence of data works

Although it is a personal life experience and mental journey, it is a memory of relatives and friends, but it goes beyond this, showing the face of China society in a specific historical era and providing rich and detailed documents. This is beyond the reach of ordinary reminiscence prose.

Because these sketches are only familiar with some so-called personal trifles and children's feelings, which are purely personal ups and downs and emotional waves; The protagonist seems to be in a paradise, unable to see the turbulent times and scattered gunfire outside.

Some prose works are helpful to understand the mentality of some intellectuals in a certain period, but it is difficult to show the overall face of their time, and "Flowers in the Morning" is different. Because of the author's lofty aspirations and broad mind, this makes the work show the close relationship between expressing personal experience and paying attention to national destiny, which not only shows the author's personal footprint but also shows the traces of a historical era.

Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening are a collection of essays with distinctive personality. This is obviously different from the works of many prose writers in the same period. There is a free and easy style, suitable for the Sui Dynasty. Say what you want, scold what you want, and let all kinds of love, hate, emotions and sorrows in your heart flow naturally in your pen. He closely combined narrative, scenery description, discussion and lyricism, which made the waves at the bottom of the pen show an ever-changing trend.

He constantly innovates in format, so that each work has a different framework. He inherited the simplicity and preciseness of China's ancient prose, and borrowed the agility and interest of western prose. It can be said that he learned from others and used it for me, not for me. But boldly transcend and become a whole. All these reflect his characteristics as a pioneer of ideological emancipation and a standard-bearer of artistic innovation, and it is precisely because of this that "Morning Flowers and Evening Picking Up" has become a model of China's modern reminiscence prose.

Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening are the power that Lu Xun seeks for light from the inside of his life to resist the long darkness from the outside to the inside. It was Lu Xun who "pondered" the problem of life in a special way of "rest" during the intermission of "fighting"; It is also the combination of ambition and Taoism that expands China's modern prose writing to a new level.
