Looking at a dog from a distance, it looks like a dog up close. Who said that the introduction is as follows:

It was made up by netizens.

Under articles about Lu Xun or Guo Moruo on the Internet, I saw someone commenting on how Lu Xun scolded Guo Moruo: "Look at a dog from a distance, but look at Guo Moruo up close." It is said that there is a complete version of this saying, which goes like this: "Looking from a distance, it is a dog, and looking up close, it is an Oriental dog. When it comes to the eyes, oh. It turns out to be Mr. Moruo."

In fact, Lu Xun was not a dog at all. I have never said this, because this sentence cannot be found in any of Lu Xun's works. None of the articles and comments circulating this sentence on the Internet include the source of the article.

Lu Xun called Liang Shiqiu "the running dog of the bereaved capitalist" and had several rounds of writing battles with him. These articles and the curses against Liang Shiqiu were collected in Lu Xun's "The Second "Heart Collection".

Why did it happen to criticize Guo Moruo, but the source of the article could not be found for this curse? The answer is: This is made up by people today.

In this era, fewer people actually read books, but more people are willing to forward famous quotes. Some reading and inspirational marketing accounts on the Internet saw this opportunity and began to make up some random famous quotes to defraud reposts.

It’s because the people behind these marketing accounts don’t read much. After they finish copying all the real quotes they can, they have to add some fake ones.

For example, write a sentence about chicken soup for the soul, and put the names of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and other philosophers at the end. Readers have never read these philosophical works. They only know that Nietzsche is an awesome guy, and this chicken soup sentence is very suitable to their taste, so they forward it without incident.
