Topic: Xun You


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  Lu Xun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His social thought, which substantially criticized traditional cultural values, was also highly influential in 20th century Chinese history, in particular, to the May Fourth Movement and the strains of thought it gave rise to, which in turn had a great impact on the Chinese communist movement and the rise of the People's Republic of China.
Lu Xun was shocked by the apathy of the Chinese at the execution and decided that it was more important to cure his fellow-countrymen spiritually rather than their bodies.
In 1930 Lu Xun published Zhongguo Xiaoshuo Lüeshi (中国小说略史, A Concise History of Chinese Fiction), a comprehensive overview of Chinese fiction and one of the landmark pieces of twentieth-century Chinese literary criticism.

 XUN KUANG
Xun Kuang concludes that his actions in the crisis surrounding the rescue of Handan and the salvation of Zhao from impending annihilation show that the conduct of the Lord of Pingyuan may be said to have fulfilled the principle that "one should follow the Way and not follow the lord."
Xun may have come to the attention of Huang Xie when he was a diplomat from Chu in Qin at the same time as Xun's visit there, but more probably they became acquainted in the aftermath of the siege when both were in Handan.
Xun Kuang was devastated and demoralized by Chunshen's assassination.

 Luxun and Confucianism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Lu Xun is the most revered writer of modern China: not only because of his genius, but because he was an important social critic and the first modern Chinese writer to write fiction in the vernacular (everyday language).
Lu Xun lived between two eras: the old Confucian order, where the government was run by a privileged caste of noblemen and scholars, and the intellectual and political ferment leading to the modern state that is the People's Republic of China.
This critique is directed at an extremely rigid and exploitative social order that Lu Xun sees as cannibalistic (hence the Madman's fear of being eaten); it is an almost-feudal system that justifies its existence by claiming to embody Confucian philosophy.

 Diary of a Madman, Lu Xun
In a sense, the madman is a rebel and social critic whose madness is a kind of sanity.
Lu Xun's story is often described as exposing the "cannibalistic feudal society" of pre-revolution China.
Beyond its addressing of a specific historical situation, the story is marked by a deep sense of and feeling for the ironies, false appearances, and deceptions often involved in human social life.

 Xunzi, Book 6: Contra Twelve Philosophers
Xun Kuang's "Contra Twelve Philosophers" criticizes those philosophers whose doctrines and influence he regarded as dangerous to society.
Xun Kuang attacks the twelve philosophers and the six philosophical positions their theories represent because they confuse the world with false notions of right and wrong and of what produces order and what anarchy.
The use of "provided a tune" and "harmonized" is thus akin to that of "song" and "dance" in the Mohist logical chapters, where "song" means to present as a main thesis and "dance" to add a secondary thesis.

 David E. Pollard; The True Story o Lu Xun; Nick Kaldis
Lu Xun’s childhood and youth are, accordingly, dealt with in considerable brevity, preference being given to those experiences linking past and present, child and adult, via “threads of the spirit” so to speak.
For instance, near the beginning of his discussion of Lu Xun’s early education, Pollard is quick to link the young boy’s fascination with illustrated works to the adult Lu Xun’s association with the woodcut movement and his “lifelong interest in graphic art” (12).
Lu Xun’s affairs, even in his own lifetime, could not be neatly separated into such discreet realms as the “public” and the “private”; Pollard covers major events from both spheres, while avoiding the distinction.

In this book by Lu xun, a greatest Chinese fiction writer in the history, you will see some influence from Russian literature, such as Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy, yet Lu xun manages to keep the Chinese atmosphere by the vivid descriptions on things he sees in China.
Comparing it to Gogol's story of "Diary of a Madman" it is interesting how Lu xun explores the reality in such a different way from Gogol and still cuts one side of humanity open to the readers.
It's nothing like any novels written by Chinese Americans because you feel the sense of China in his stories while you can relate to all the characters' mental pain and suffer through his gorgeous language.
