Lu Xun is a leading language master in the history of modern literature in China. In the historical transformation of China language from tradition to modernity, Lu Xun's literary language has played a bridge and demonstration role, which has unparalleled aesthetic significance and stylistic innovation significance. He attached great importance to the revival of Chinese in China, and raised the reform of language and writing to a height related to the survival of national Sheng Xing.

Therefore, many of Lu Xun's representative works have become traditional teaching materials in universities, middle schools and primary schools, nourishing the hearts of generations.
Any excellent literary works, especially those with epic narrative, as well as essays as civilized criticism and social criticism, will have a wide reflection on social and historical life. Lu Xun lived in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society in China, far from today's young people.
Lu Xun's works show readers a long scroll of China's social life from the end of 19 to the 1930s, from which we can learn the rationality, justice and urgency of the China Revolution, which is undoubtedly a vivid textbook for contemporary readers.

3. Read and learn from Lu Xun.
Lu Xun is a loyal spokesman for the people at the bottom of China. His life is a life of shouting for the survival, food and clothing and development of modern China people. His life plan is "always think of everyone and seek some benefits". His "moral code" is "harming others and benefiting oneself". "On the road of life, I shed blood drop by drop to support others. Although I feel thin, I feel happy."
This spirit of selfless dedication is undoubtedly a scarce spiritual resource in the current materialistic situation.
Lu Xun is also a man full of wisdom. Especially in Shanghai, he mastered and used historical materialism and dialectics skillfully, so he could make correct analysis and judgment on complex and thorny issues such as revolution, power, human nature and violence. Lu Xun's anger burned. Yu Dafu said: "What we see is partial, and what he sees is comprehensive.
When we are keen on grasping reality, he has grasped the past, present and future. Therefore, the most fundamental purpose of reading Lu Xun's books should be to learn Lu Xun's stand, viewpoint and method, and live like him, like him. I think this is the greatest practical significance of reading Lu Xun's classics.
