"Sa Wild Grass" was written in the late "May Fourth Movement" and is Mr. Lu Xun's only collection of prose poems. First published by Beijing Beixin Book Company in July 1927. Includes 23 prose poems written from 1924 to 1926, with an inscription at the front of the book. It expresses the author's inner depression and struggle against the real society in the mid-1920s with tortuous and obscure symbols. "Such a Warrior", "In the Pale Bloodstain", "A Sleep" and other chapters express disappointment and resentment towards reality; "Shadow's Farewell", "Dead Fire", "Tombstone Essay" and other chapters depict the feelings towards oneself. The confused state of mind after a profound dissection; "Hope" and "After Death" and other chapters describe the doubts and fears about the future, profoundly showing the author's philosophy of life. The language is strange and magnificent, and the imagery is mysterious and beautiful. (Selected from "Cihai")
Similarly, Lu Xun himself once said that all his life's philosophy is in "Weeds". He also warned young readers that it is difficult for them to understand their own thoughts now, but they can learn from some of the articles describing scenes, such as "Autumn Night", "Snow", and "Winter Leaves".
This book contains 23 prose poems (including a limerick - "My Broken Love" and a verse drama "The Passenger"), all of which were originally published from December 1924 to 1926. "Inscription" was first published in the "Yusu" weekly in January 2017 in the 138th issue of "Yusi" published on July 2, 1927. When it was published, the signature was Lu Xun.
