The content of Weeds is complicated, which runs through many articles mainly because of the conflict between ideal and reality, and also reflects the same conflict in the author's own thoughts. He felt the intensity of the dark forces and focused on depicting it. At the same time, I feel that we can't relax our fighting and stick to the indomitable spirit.
Weeds is the product of Lu Xun's hesitation and depression after the ebb tide of the May 4th Movement, which reflects Lu Xun's mental course of hesitation, thinking and tenacious fighting.
Weeds, written in the late May 4th Movement, is the only collection of prose poems by Mr. Lu Xun. In July 1927, it was published by Beiyecao Jingbei New Bookstore. From 1924 to 1926, I wrote 23 prose poems with an inscription in front of the book. With the symbol of twists and turns, it expresses the author's inner world depression and resistance to the real society in the mid-192s. Such a Warrior, In the Pale Blood, A Sense, etc. express disappointment and resentment towards reality. Farewell to the Shadow, Dead Fire, Tombs and other articles depict the confused state of mind after deep dissection of self. "Hope", "After Death" and other articles have written doubts about the future and profoundly demonstrated the author's philosophy of life. The language is wonderful and magnificent, and the image is mysterious and wonderful. (selected from Ci Hai)
Similarly, Lu Xun himself once said that his whole life's philosophy was in Weeds. Young readers are also told that it is hard for them to understand their thoughts now, but they can learn some articles about scenery, such as Autumn Night, Snow and La Ye.
