Tragedy:the Core Of Lu Xun’s Spirit And Literary World

The "Enlightenment Spirit" and "Fighter Style" are the main consensus of our assessment of Lu Xun.However,since the New Culture Movement,not only did Lu Xun have such a spirit and style,Lu Xun was historically regarded as the most prominent one.However,Lu Xun’s most individual tragedy style was ignored for a long time.Although there were no lack of commentators,it was still masked by the giants of the former two."Tragic" as the kernel means that it is the keynote of Lu Xun’s spirit and literature,and it dictates its aesthetic style.Lu Xun made a clear definition of tragedy and was often cited as a classic interpretation of tragedy.But the tragedy is not an indigenous concept,but an authentic imported product.There is no tragic literary or tragic aesthetic theory in Chinese traditional literature.However,in the Lu Xun era,the tragedy suddenly became an aesthetic hot topic,triggering discussions in the entire cultural world.In other words,Lu Xun’s concern for the tragedy is not an orphan event.There was a large aesthetic transformation context behind its creation.Tragedy and its theory have lasted more than2,000.years in the West.It is an extremely complicated issue.Therefore,the specific choices of tragedy of Chinese scholars need to be considered from the perspective of the whole western tragedy.The tragedy at first served as the world view of the ancient Greek human religion,resulting from the understanding of fate.Shakespeare’s tragedy was a turning point,which was mingled with the mystical destiny and the cognition of human nature,until the Ibsen era,the destiny of noble person had no longer been concerned,and the conflict between the individual and the order becomes the main content of the tragedy.When Christianity is unable to settle the world,the tragedy gradually rises to the cognitive level of the universal existence of human beings by Schopenhauer,Nietzsche and Chesto.Chinese scholars mainly introduce tragedies for two purposes.First,cultural comparisons.Jiang Zhiyou,Cai Yuanpei,Hu Shi and Tang Junyi are the main representatives.Tragedy is just a comparison of cultural differences.Therefore,theConflict of individual and social order(ethical system)is the main object of concern;the second is a comparatively pure aesthetic comparison.The main representatives are Wang Guowei,Zhu Guangqian and Qian Yushu.Through more theoretically discussion,they deeply interpret the tragedy and explore whether there is a tragedy in Chinese traditional or not.Lu Xun’s view of tragedy is quite unique.It has both the practicality for cultural transformation and philosophizing tendency.Starting from concrete literary experiences,he has grasped the key link between tragedy and value,but this is only a"visible" tragic understanding of Lu Xun Most of the creations in call to arms and wandering mainly reflect the fall of "value."In addition,Lu Xun’s thoughts still have the "hidden" tragic in the depths of his mind.Just like the "tragic philosophy"discovered in Nietzsche and Dostoevsky by Shestov,which is the core of Lu Xun’s spiritual world.Lu Xun’s "tragic consciousness" is the result of the convergence of various thoughts.As a thinker with great poetic temperament,Lu Xun has a profound experience and reflection on existence.This is also the reason why he can be connected with the pioneers of Western existentialism.They all grasp the foundation of the world in an irrational way.Lu Xun’s tragic consciousness is the result of value revaluation.However,it is not all true to what realist scholars have pointed out,despair is merely a product of specific social events.Lu Xun promotes it as a living attitude of noumenon.However,the close connection between Lu Xun and the philosophy of existentialism does not mean that he is a Western-style existentialist.Buddhism has profoundly influenced his ideological structure.Anti-moral-metaphysical presupposition coincides with the "nothingness" of Lu Xun’s ideological roots and treats "intermediate objects" as the only reality.He does not believe in summum bonum.At the same time,Lu Xun’s special "double-sound" expression means that Zhuang Zhou’s "poison" argument does not only imply rejection of Zhuangzi,it also hides Lu Xun’s understanding and recognition of Zhuangzi’s thoughts.He penetrates absolute and clear historical rationality,and sees the void behind it,that is to say,"tragedy consciousness" is their common basis."Tragic consciousness" arises from the understanding of those great souls,who realize it sooner or later.How to deal with this unavoidable wisdom and bitterness,they have different attitudes.They can "empty","save" or "free",and Lu Xun chooses"Go" means to oppose the elimination of individual willpower,including tragic power.However,after sublimation was alienated by high-intensity political rationality,the undeniable authority suppressed and dispelled the noble endogeneity.The tragic sublimity is a rebellious force and a heavy joy that is inspired by strong pain and self-denial.Sublimity is not always tragic,but tragedy often contains sublimity.Lu Xun’s preference for lofty aesthetics is mainly reflected in three aspects.In the trend of foreign thoughts,Lu Xun paid special attention to the demon poets because their poetry show,specifically,it is represented at two homogeneous levels:the individual will and the national spirit.In addition,in the "inherent blood",Lu Xun pays special attention to the original The value of myths and religions,because its generative nature was closely related to sublime.They are the agglomerations of the initial people’s upward spiritual power with the "pure spirit".These two spiritual cues form a subtle The symmetry relationship,which shows Lu Xun’s emphasis on Sublime Aesthetics.The last aspect is the tendency of "anti-nihilism" in Weeds.However,Weeds has always been regarded as the main basis for Lu Xun’s being a nihilism.Actually,Weeds that has been misunderstood as "nihilism" is the modern successor of Chinese traditional "Wind and Bone" aesthetics,sublimity is their common style,which is also the essence of Lu Xun’s tragedy spirit.
