Academic influence
As an academic researcher, Lu Xun, on the one hand, studied China's classical novels with western literary concepts and wrote A Brief History of China's Novels, which not only ended the era of "China's novels have no history", but also created a typical work in the history of literature and "opened countless methods for later study";
Guo Moruo called it, together with Wang Guowei's History of Song and Yuan Opera, a double gem in the modern academic history of China. On the other hand, he collated dozens of ancient books, such as Ancient Fiction, Ji, Han Portrait Collection, and Miscellaneous Collection of Old Books in Huiji County, which left great wealth for future generations to study classical literature.
