Lu Xun’s monumental presence in the history of modern Chinese culture does not end here. Strict early childhood education, rigorous teacher-teaching and love for traditional Chinese brush calligraphy also made Lu Xun a unique calligrapher in modern times. Among the large number of Lu Xun's manuscripts that exist, all styles of seal, Li, Xing and regular script are all excellent. The style of calligraphy follows that of Wei Bei, which is broad, profound, simple and elegant. Guo Moruo once commented: "Mr. Lu Xun also had no intention of being a calligrapher. The handwriting he left behind has his own style. He melted seal script and official script into one furnace, allowing the interaction between heart and wrist. It is simple but not restrained, free and easy but lawful, far more than that of the Song and Tang Dynasties. , It goes straight to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is valued by scholars not because of people."
The number of Lu Xun's manuscripts in existence is the largest among modern literati and even calligraphers. These include some poems, inscriptions, letters and manuscripts. Including manuscripts to Zheng Zhenduo and Hu Shixin, a preface to the female writer Xiao Hong's "The Field of Life and Death", and manuscripts of Lu Xun's autobiography, especially what Lu Xun wrote on September 5, 1936 (more than a month before Lu Xun died of illness) The manuscript of the essay "Death" containing seven wills is extremely precious.
Lu Xun’s calligraphy and literature often influenced each other. Most of his literary works were originally produced and formed in the form of calligraphy. "There is no way to escape from the divine arrow on the spiritual platform, and the storm is like a rock, darkening my hometown. It means that the cold stars are invisible, and I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood." Lu Xun's poem "Self-Inscribed Portrait" was written when he was 21 years old. In 1931, at the age of 51, he wrote "Self-Inscribed Portrait" again, which not only showed the clean, natural, elegant and elegant style of his calligraphy, but also represented his passionate patriotic feelings. He also gave "Self-Inscribed Portrait" to his Japanese friend Shigeru Okamoto.
