Picking Wei in Lu Xun's New Stories: written in 1935 and 65438+ February, the story is based on the story of Boyi and not eating at the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty.
Shu Qi and Boyi, the protagonists in the novel Picking Wei, are obviously based on them, but Lu Xun uses them in the novel, not to take their backbone, but to satirize the world with their inflexibility. They thought that Zhou's attack changed the rules of King Wen, so they decided not to eat Zhou's food and went to the mountains to pick Wei Cao. Finally, they knew that Wei Cao was also from the Zhou Dynasty, so they didn't eat it until they starved to death.

The thought of picking EU:
Cai Wei embodies Lu Xun's brand-new value judgment on the image of ancient loyal ministers in a specific historical period. Through the New Stories by the historical figures Boyi and Shu Qi, Lu Xun gave a personalized interpretation of the definitions of "backbone" and "loyalty". Lu Xun stripped Boyi and Shu Qi of their sacred coats with his own skeptical and negative eyes, and restored their spiritual worthlessness. In this work, Lu Xun pointed out another weakness of China's national character. Avoid the heavy, drag out an ignoble existence.
