In the history of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun's status is very high. Especially in the ranking of literary giants after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one can shake Lu Xun's top position.
However, whether I studied Lu Xun’s articles when I was a student or read the writers’ works now, I prefer Ba Jin, Lao She and Cao Yu, and are not very interested in Lu Xun’s works because his articles are very thoughtful. If it is too sharp, the content will be obscure and difficult to understand.
Classic portrait of Mr. Lu Xun
However, Lu Xun, who started out writing novels and essays, also wrote many poems. These poems are all ancient style poems such as Qijue. Although there are not many, they also represent his writing attitude.
However, unlike his obscure essays, Lu Xun's poems are more plain, and we can know what they mean at a glance.
For example, this sentence "It means that the cold stars are not visible in Tsuen, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood."
Another example is this sentence, "A cold brow looks at a thousand people, but I bow my head and am willing to be a Ruziniu."

The poem "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood" comes from Lu Xun's "Self-titled Portrait". The whole poem is as follows:
The spiritual platform has no way to escape the divine arrow, and the storm is like a rock, darkening the hometown.
I would like to recommend Xuanyuan with my blood.
In this poem, the most famous are the last two sentences. The "meaning" in the so-called "meaning to Han Xing Tsuen Bu Cha" actually refers to Mr. Lu Xun's ideal of abandoning medical literature to save the people from the fire and water. However, this ideal is unknown to the public. The poet wrote this poem in the hope that the citizens, who in his view "poor people must be hateful", could understand his principles and ideals of saving the people, and join him in the struggle to change the current situation of the country. effort. However, under the current circumstances that are not understood by the public, the poet still decided to devote all his efforts in order to contribute to saving the country and the people. This is the so-called "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood."
The poet expresses his ambition here.

In another poem "Self-mockery", the poet further strengthened this idea and wrote: There is a famous saying: "A cold brow looks at a thousand people, but a bowed head is willing to be a bully".
This poem is a rhythmic poem. The whole poem is as follows:
What do you want when you are handed over to the canopy? I have met before I dare to turn over.
I pass through the bustling city with my broken hat, and my boat is full of wine.
His eyebrows are cold and he points his fingers at thousands of people, bowing his head and willing to be a Ruzi Niu.
Hide in the small building and become one, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn.
In the poem, the author laughed at himself about his living conditions at that time. However, even so, the enthusiasm for the country and the people has never cooled down, which is why there are poems like "A cold eyebrow is pointed at a thousand people, and the head is bowed and I am willing to be a coward."
This sentence is the whole sentence The most essential sentence of the poem reveals the true emotions deep in the poet's heart, and further sublimates the realm of the poet and poetry.
Lu Xun's articles have always been obscure and difficult to understand, but we can understand what these lines mean at a glance. It is probably for this reason that Chinese language exams are often taken.
