The essay "Dogs, Cats and Rats" comes from Lu Xun's prose collection "Flowers in the Morning". I read this article many times before I basically understood its meaning. I hope my understanding is correct. This article mainly compares some people by describing some natures and behaviors of cats and mice.
In his article, Mr. Lu Xun explained why he hates cats-he just doesn't like them. At that time, these reasons were very similar to the behavior and personality of a class of people. For example, it is written that cats prey on animals weaker than themselves and get tired of playing with them, just as some people seize other people's weaknesses or shortcomings and try their best to torture them slowly, as if they are not willing to suffer enough. If someone else makes a mistake and is criticized, maybe that kind of person will secretly laugh in a corner. Mr. Lu Xun said that the second reason why he hates cats is that although cats are close relatives of liger and eat animals weaker than themselves, they have a coquetry appearance. Just like some of us now, we often deliberately hide our nature, which will make others feel that they are more hypocritical. Cats always eat and don't care, just like some lazy people, they are more active than anyone when they have something to eat. Tell them to do something, and they run away, not knowing where to go, just like a saying in Cantonese: "Eat wild animals and do wild things." Mr. Lu Xun also told us that not all mice are so annoying. In fact, some hidden mice are very pleasing and spiritual, but they have been destroyed by others. In fact, everyone can give some love and sympathy to these weak creatures. Why can't some people do it? This requires reflection.
After reading this profound question about Zhang, although I didn't benefit much, I realized some truth about being a man.
Reflections on A Chang and Shan Hai Jing
I have long heard of "morning flowers gather in the evening", but I have no chance to appreciate it. So, in this summer vacation, I watched all the morning flowers and evening flowers.
When I first read Morning Flowers and Evening Flowers, I didn't seem to know what to say. But after reading the whole book smoothly, I will know the general idea.
Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening are written by the author to commemorate his youth. It not only describes his childhood memories and sincere nostalgia for his teachers and friends, but also truly describes the author's life before and after the coup in 1898 and the revolution in 19 1 1, from rural areas to towns, from family to society, and from China to Japan. Every article vividly reflects a corner of social life in that era.
My favorite reading materials are Chang and Shan Hai Jing.
The eldest mother in A Chang Shan Hai Jing, in Lu Xun's mind, was frank and talkative from an early age and had many complicated manners. But she can do what others can't do, and buy Shan Hai Jing. For the eldest mother, Lu Xun only picked a few typical details. For example, when the big mother sleeps, she spreads her hands and feet in the middle of the bed to form a big character, which occupies the whole bed; When cutting tea, erect the second finger, shake it up and down in the air, or light the other person's nose or your own nose, and draw the personality characteristics of the big mother vividly with a few strokes.
For example, Chang and Shan Hai Jing describes Chang, Lu Xun's nanny. This article vividly depicts a typical image of a rural working woman in old China. Some people compare this article to an unusually delicious "morning flower" cultivated by Lu Xun from the memory soil. Indeed, for this woman, Lu Xun not only does not shy away from writing about her beauty and ugliness, but misses everything about her with sincere feelings. Lu Xun admired, disliked, liked and hated her, and his feelings were revealed between the lines. Moreover, I also found that this "old mother" and "Kong" are very similar. Both of them are from old China and have had similar experiences. For example, their names have all been forgotten, and their nicknames have been picked up casually. What a poor man!
Reflections on Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures
There is an article called Twenty-four Filial Pieties in Morning Flowers and Evening Flowers, which is very impressive and feels good.
The article describes the author's feelings of reading Twenty-four Filial Pieties in childhood, and exposes the hypocrisy and cruelty of feudal filial piety. The stories of filial piety, such as "Seeking carp on the ice", "Old Lai entertaining relatives" and "Guo Ju burying children", are emphatically analyzed, accusing this feudal filial piety of ignoring children's lives, taking nausea as pleasure, "taking unkindness as a training, slandering ancient evils and teaching future generations ill". The work sharply criticized the tendency of opposing vernacular Chinese and advocating retro at that time.
The so-called Twenty-four Filial Pieties is a book that tells the story of twenty-four filial sons in ancient China. Its main purpose is to promote feudal filial piety. However, among them, "Lao Lai entertains relatives", "Guo Ju buries children" and "fear of tasting dung" are outrageous.
Let's talk about Guo Ju's buried son first. It is said that there was a man named Guo Ju in the Jin Dynasty who was originally very rich. After his father died, he divided his property into two parts and divided it between his two younger brothers. He raised his mother alone and was extremely filial to her. Later, the family became poorer and his wife gave birth to a boy. Guo Ju is worried that raising the child will inevitably affect his mother's support. He discussed with his wife: "The son can be reborn, but the mother can't be resurrected after death. It is better to bury his son and save money to support his mother. " The couple took their son out and dug a hole to bury him. Xing Hao dug up an altar of gold to save his son from death.
Although Guo Ju has filial piety, his behavior of killing children is against human nature, which does not conform to the Confucian concept of "the nature of heaven and earth is precious to human beings". Seemingly filial, but actually cruel. In ancient times, some people sacrificed their lives to pray for God to treat their parents, while others cut meat to satisfy their parents' desire to eat meat. Today, some people offer five zang-organs to treat their parents, but few people kill them. I want to kill my son in order to save food. One is against my mother's love for her grandson, and the other is against my mother's good. Therefore, some people later called this filial piety "foolish filial piety". "
Take a casual look at the Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures, and you will see words such as "selling your body to bury your father", "burying your son to serve your mother" and "crying bamboo shoots". "Carving wood for relatives" and "Burying children for mothers" make people feel heartless; Superstitions such as "Xiaogan moves heaven", "lying on the ice for carp" and "crying bamboo shoots" are serious; "Worried about tasting shit" is disgusting.
Filial piety is justified, pedantry is stupid, blind obedience is sad, and defending morality is hateful.
Thoughts on reading five books.
"Wu Banhui" is a rare thing that Lu Xun recalled going to Dongguan to see Wu Banhui when he was a child.
Because Dongguan is far from the county seat, everyone got up early in the morning. The big ship booked the night before has been moored at Jiangwharf, and chairs, meals, tea stoves and snack boxes have been moved down one after another. When I was a child, Lu Xun laughed and danced, urging them to hurry up. Suddenly, the worker's face became very worried. Little Lu Xun looked around and his father stood behind him. Father told him to bring the book, and he came to his father with the book in his hand. His father taught him to read, "two sentences and one line, about twenty or thirty lines." Let him see it if you recite it, or you won't let him go. It's like pouring a pot of cold water on Lu Xun's head. He read it and remembered it.
The sun rises very high, and Lu Xun will definitely walk into his father's study, and his dream will be over. Father agreed to let him go. Everyone is active at the same time. The workers picked him up as if to congratulate him on his success, but Lu Xun was not as happy as they were. After the voyage, the scenery in the waterway, the snacks in the box and the excitement of the Dongguan No.5 cabin meeting all lost their meaning to him.
This article describes a subtle conflict between father and son in childhood. My ardent hope for the Five Classics Society and my father's obstruction show my father's ignorance and alienation from children's psychology, and implicitly criticize the irrationality of feudal thoughts and customs. Lu Xun talked about the helplessness and boredom of children when their parents don't care about their psychology.
In feudal society, Lu Xun was born in a well-off family in a county town and experienced social changes and family decline. Lu Xun was surrounded by this dark feudal family style and social status quo.
In Lu Xun's childhood, many playful and childish childishness from children were obliterated. It's time for us adults to reflect.
Reflections on "Hundred Herbs Garden" to "San Tan Yin Yue"
After reading Lu Xun's article "From Baicaoyuan to San Tan Yin Yue", I envy Lu Xun's wonderful time in Baicaoyuan. This paper fully describes the infinite fun brought by the Herbal Garden to Mr. Lu Xun's childhood. "Green vegetable fields, smooth stone railings, tall acacia trees, purple mulberry trees ..." These scenery alone make Mr. Lu Xun never tire of playing. Baicaoyuan, a paradise, seems to make readers want to feast their eyes on it immediately!
The eldest mother in the article also told Mr. Lu Xun a story about the beautiful snake. The story tells us that if a strange voice calls your name, you must never promise him. However, this story has some "sequelae" for Mr. Lu Xun. From then on, when Mr. Lu Xun enjoys the cool in the summer night, he will always be as worried as an old monk and eager to get a box of flying centipedes. This is a reasonable description of Mr. Lu Xun's fear when he was young.
When Mr. Lu Xun is going to school, his family will send him to San Tan Yin Yue, which means that Mr. Lu Xun will say goodbye to his crickets, raspberries and Manglietia.
After entering San Tan Yin Yue, Mr. Lu Xun began a boring student career. "I only read books every day, practice calligraphy at noon and attend classes at night." This is the life of Lu Xun. In spite of this, Mr. Lu Xun often plays with his classmates in a small garden after leaving San Tan Yin Yue. Although you can fold plum blossoms, find cicadas and feed ants, many people will be called back by the teacher after a long time, far from being as free and happy as in the Herb Garden.
This article not only compares the freedom and happiness of the Herbal Garden with the tasteless taste of three pools printing the moon, but also shows the children's love for nature and yearning for freedom. Moreover, through the memories of the Hundred Herbs Garden and the Three Ponds and the Moon, Lu Xun's childhood love for nature, pursuit of knowledge, and naive, naive and happy mood were expressed.
Reflections on Lu Xun's father's illness
This article vividly reflects the incompetence of social quacks at that time. When they knew that there was no rule of law for diseases, they were deliberately deceived. This seems to be a magic bullet, but in fact they are mystifying and using a cover-up, which has no effect on the disease. They let their families go for nothing. They are just busy with treatment. They treat people only for something other than themselves-money. The society at that time was as sick as Lu Xun's father.
The ink-dropping part was unexpected. The "famous doctor" actually said "it doesn't matter" to the dying person, so he killed someone, but he still wrote a prescription of 100 yuan for the deceased. Ridiculous! And the host sent him out politely. Lu Xun's predecessors were really great, so I'm going to overturn the second paragraph's view of what happened on the website. From this article-according to the understandable article analysis, Mr. Lu Xun is not the kind of person who scolds hard. I think he just let people know his mistakes through a lot of satire, such as this one. Did he scold? I can't find any dirty words. So Lu Xun's predecessor was a very powerful person-critic (it seems to be the word). As the saying goes, swearing is not dirty. However, Mr. Lu Xun is higher than this. His criticism of the rise of the country is entirely out of public interest. I can only bow deeply in the dust behind him. The greed of "famous doctors" stands like a mountain peak.
Next, it was the "famous doctor" who treated Lu Xun's father for two years with a lot of messy drugs. When he was not well, he introduced others to treat him. The image of "famous doctor" has been carved deeper and deeper, regardless of the patient's life and death in order to preserve his reputation. Alas, I can only sigh. However, is such a person worth your sigh? Forget it.
Maybe this is the famous doctor. Unfortunately, this is another "famous doctor". In my opinion, his mind is full of excuses, not studying. Especially the last one, which is particularly representative, "A doctor can cure a disease, but not a life, right?" Good boy, a loach shirked his responsibility and had the nerve to ask, "Right?" Look at the medicines they use: reed roots by the river, sugar cane frosted for three years, a pair of crickets made originally, and drum-beating pills made by old drums. Seeing this, I can hardly speak, and I can only gasp at the moon like an old cow.
Lu Xun seems to be shouting and criticizing the feudal and corrupt society at that time! This phenomenon is not uncommon in the real society. We must fight social loafing and cheating to the end! And learn to pursue the truth from an early age, learn to expose the essence of ugly things, distinguish right from wrong, and call on everyone to publicize widely and promote the progress of spiritual civilization!
Lu Xun's predecessors were really rare people. His literary skills are not what I admire most; I admire his fearless spirit and enthusiasm for the country. Lu Xun's predecessors were also human, but he was not willing to be an ordinary person. He doesn't want to die in silence, but he wants to explode in silence. Like a flash of lightning and thunder, he woke up the sleeping people and shocked us.
Note reflection.
Trivial Notes is an essay by Mr. Lu Xun, and it is the eighth article in the book Morning Flowers Pick Up in the Evening.
Miscellaneous Notes introduces Mr. Lu Xun's life experience from leaving his hometown to studying abroad in pursuit of new knowledge. Based on the author's personal experience, this paper writes about the influence of evolution and bourgeois democracy on progressive youth. In the ninth paragraph, it is said that the only school in the city that combines Chinese and Western culture has also become a "target of public criticism". This really shows that the old feudal ideas are deeply rooted, and people do not understand and agree with the new ideas.
What impressed me the most was that when I was studying in Thunderbolt School, the headmaster wrote an essay entitled "On Washington", and the Chinese teacher didn't know what Washington was. This also shows that people's thoughts were old and aging at that time, and people did not accept or reject new ideas. Isn't such a teacher going to delay students' study?
I also hate the so-called "China experts" and "zhina experts" who misinterpret China's long-standing culture. They are an insult to China culture. Of course, those strange ideas will never be accepted by us and should always be resisted.
The most interesting thing about this article is that the two so-called "experiences" before going to study in Japan were just a bunch of nonsense, which shows that China people misunderstood some foreign things at that time.
The following paragraphs also describe the influence of some new cultures on young students at that time, and the older generation's lack of support for learning new knowledge.
Trivial notes can be said to be a microcosm of the society at that time, which well wrote some social phenomena at that time and was a good memorable prose.
Evaluation of Mr. Fujino
Mr. Fujino recalls Lu Xun's life when he was studying in Sendai, and describes the process of getting to know, getting along, leaving and remembering Lu Xun and Mr. Fujino. When Lu Xun first arrived in Tokyo, he saw the students of Qing Dynasty under the cherry trees in Ueno Park, which was full of shame for China people, and heard the noise of students learning to dance at night. This disgusted Lu Xun, so he went to Sendai, where he met Mr. Fujino. Mr Fujino's clothes are very vague. He changed the speech for Lu Xun, who was dissecting the picture. He cares about anatomical practice and knows about China women's foot binding. In these clips, I saw Mr. Fujino, who was strict with students, took good care of Lu Xun, had no national prejudice, and was rigorous and realistic about science. Such a noble teacher, it is no wonder that Mr. Lu Xun said, "Of all the teachers I think, I am the one who most appreciates and encourages me."
Mr. Fujino also recorded Lu Xun's mental journey, from studying medicine to saving the country to abandoning medicine and joining literature, expressing Lu Xun's profound patriotic feelings. When Lu Xun studied in Japan, it was a time when "the wind and rain were like a rock, and his hometown was dark", and it was also a time when Lu Xun personally "has a long way to go, and I will go up and down to seek". He once said, "My dream is very happy, and I am going to come back after graduation to treat the pain of misdiagnosed patients like my father." During the war, he became a military doctor and publicized the reform beliefs of the people of China. "But from the anonymous letter incident, the film incident and the indifference of Chinese people, Lu Xun profoundly realized that studying medicine can save people's bodies, but it can't save people's souls. Lu Xun said: "From that time on, I felt that studying medicine was not an important thing. All stupid and weak citizens, no matter how strong and powerful they are, can only do meaningless propaganda materials and spectators. " "Our first task is to change their spirit, and what is good at changing their spirit is that I think it is natural to advocate literature and art at that time, so I advocate the literary movement. "
Fan Ainong's thoughts after reading.
"Fan Ainong" traces the author's contact with Fan Ainong during his stay in Japan and after his return to China, describes Fan Ainong's dissatisfaction with the dark society before the revolution, his pursuit of the revolution and his persecution after the Revolution of 1911, and shows his disappointment with the old democratic revolution and his sympathy and mourning for this upright and tenacious patriot.
At the beginning of the article, the author described in plain language that he once knew Fan Ainong in a teahouse. Express your hatred for him first and pave the way for writing about his kindness and friendliness later. The writing technique of wanting to promote and restraining first is in place, and the simple but concise language shows us Mr. Lu Xun's sympathy and sense of responsibility for the victimized students.
It is mentioned in the article that at first, the two were not friends, and they even quarreled several times. However, after the author returned to China, the two met again and became friends from "enemies". Since then, they have almost become close friends. Then, another chance, they became colleagues. However, "all good things must come to an end", the author and Fan Ainong separated for work reasons. Finally, life in Fan Ainong is getting worse and worse. One night, after getting drunk, Fan Ainong slipped and drowned in the river.
There is an important detail in the article, which is the description of Shaoxing after the recovery. This actually laid the groundwork for Fan Ainong's tragedy. Lu Xun did not praise Fan Ainong positively, but only showed the cheerful side of Fan Ainong after the revolution from his expression "That smile is unprecedented" and his action "He is really diligent". However, the greater the hope in Fan Ainong's heart, the greater the disappointment. Lu Xun later used a lot of pen and ink to write about the reality of Shaoxing after the recovery, in fact, he was exploring the causes of his friend's tragic fate.
Fan Ainong, an awakened intellectual, can't stand the dark society. His heart was bitter and sad.
