The artistic characteristics of Lu Xun's classical poems are: first, distinctive personality and true image. In Lu Xun's classical poems, readers can often truly feel the feelings expressed by the author through the natural scenery or some specific characters described by the author. These scenes cover a wide range and have profound implications, such as "Thousand Forests", "Heron Shadow" and "Antelope". The characters are "wife", "loving mother", "husband" and "hero".
Sometimes, the author often takes himself as the main body of the poem in the form of self-portrait, directly expresses his thoughts, and lets the world know the theme he wants to criticize and praise with an open mind. For example, in the poem "Untitled, used to spend spring in the long night", the author uses "the mother's tears are faintly in the dream, and the flag in the city changes." A simple and clear sentence vividly outlines the thoughts of family members, as well as the scenes of warlords fighting and people struggling in vain. The author does not use too many words to pave the way, but only relies on the two images of "mother's tears" and "king's flag" to summarize and express.
Second, the language is simple and profound. The language of Lu Xun's poems is simple and natural, without too much carving and rendering, which makes people feel kind and natural to read. However, when we carefully taste them, we can immediately find their intentions, but the feelings they preach are far from simple. For example, in the poem "Gengzi sends a stove to do things", we can clearly find an emotion hidden in Lu Xun's poems-satire and lashing feudal superstition. The author chose this event to reflect the poverty of the family. The implied content is that the kitchen god does not exist, and worshipping the kitchen god will only make the family poorer. If you want to get rid of your destiny, you must rely on your own and personal struggle for tomorrow's happiness.
Third, rhetoric is rich and varied. Rhetorically, Lu Xun's commonly used rhetoric includes metaphor, exaggeration, allusion, irony, duality and so on. These rhetorical devices with different functions and distinctive features have become sharp tools to publicize ideas and vent emotions in Lu Xun's works, and also let readers deeply understand Lu Xun's profound knowledge and wise mind. In addition, Lu Xun's ancient poetry forms are also very rich, including five-character poems, seven-character quatrains and seven-character poems. For example, there are five words such as "Gengzi sent the stove for business" and "topic", and seven words such as "answering the guest's question" and "starting a small portrait".
