The Writing Background of Lu Xun's Dead Fire

background: "dead fire": a fire that finally stopped burning in the face of death, corresponding to the life state of Lu Xun during his six years in Beijing, and "dead fire" is a "symbol of anguish". Lu Xun imagined fire not from a single perspective of life, but from a two-way perspective of life and death. Before that, as the embryonic form of Dead Fire, Lu Xun also wrote an article Ice of Fire. In the legend of China, there is a life-and-death battle between Zhu Rong, the Vulcan, and Gong, the water god. They are diametrically opposed, so there is an idiom that "fire and water are incompatible, and ice and charcoal are different furnaces". However, Lu Xun emphasized the unity and transformation of the two, "the ice of fire" and "the man with ice of fire", challenging the traditional thinking and imagination. As a result, there is a "dead fire."
