What influence did Byron's poems have on young Lu Xun?

First of all, Byron's poetry belongs to the romantic school, which prevailed in western Europe and eastern Europe at the beginning of the19th century. It is an active or revolutionary romantic school represented by Byron and Shelley during the rise of the bourgeoisie. Young Lu Xun was exposed to advanced western thoughts and cultures, which played an important role in the formation of Lu Xun's thoughts in the future.

Secondly, under the so-called "alien oppression", the spirit of the characters reflected in Byron's poems can still have the heroic spirit of "perseverance, honesty and frankness, not obsequiousness, and conforming to the old customs". It has played an important role in supporting young Lu Xun's decisive participation in the new culture movement in the future.

In fact, the influence of Byron's poems on Lu Xun has long been discussed by Lu Xun himself. For details, please refer to his "On Moro Poetry", and I will extract a passage from it for your study only.

"However, the disaster of Pei Lun is not the same as the disaster of Chen in the previous dynasty. It is due to fame, social folly, enemy peeping and taking advantage of the gap, and the people don't know it; If you praise high officials and treat the poor, it's worse than that. As a result, Gu Peilun could not live in Britain. He said that the comments all over the world were sincere, and I was worthless in England. If these comments are absurd, then Britain is worthless to me. Do I do it? However, I haven't been there yet. Although I am in a foreign country, I am still here. He died in England on 18 16 10, which is great for Italy. Since then, Perrin's work has been carried out in Xiong Yi.

Perrin's works abroad include Hallerdt Grass Wandering, Poem Don Juan (78), and Three Legends, all of which are said to be the greatest. They are all arrogant and defiant. When I read Manfred, I remember that people lost their love, lost their joy, fell into great pain, and wanted to forget their abilities. Ghosts and gods asked what they wanted, Manyun wanted to forget, and ghosts and gods told him to forget that he was dying. By the way, can dead fruit make people forget? Doubt and trust. Later, a spell fell on Manfred. Manfred suddenly made a coolie with his own will and resolutely denounced that you Cao must not tempt me to perish. I'm self-destructive too. All right, charm! The hand of death sincerely added me, but it was not your hand. It means that if you have good and evil, you will be rewarded and punished, and you will know that you are in yourself. God, monty and dragon are invincible. What else is there? Manfred Deutschland is so strong, and so is Perrin. Critics may regard the legendary Faust (79) as a cloud. "
