| Nietzsche,as the pioneer of modern Western philosophy,his ideas have had a significant impact on the entire Western society and the world.The introduction of Nietzsche’s thought into China has had a profound impact on many intellectuals in China.Among the many intellectuals in China,Lu Xun was most influenced by Nietzsche.Lu Xun first came into contact with Nietzsche’s works and ideas directly or indirectly when he was studying in Japan.During the May Fourth Movement,Lu Xun directly translated the preface of Nietzsche’s "The Saying of Zarathustra" and mentioned Nietzsche many times in his essays and letters.This period was the stage in which Lu Xun made Nietzsche’s thoughts that he came into contact with in his early years in China.In his later years,Lu Xun still maintained the Nietzsche breath that could not be removed.The development of Lu Xun’s own thoughts and literary creation are inseparable from the influence of Nietzsche’s thoughts.Based on the profound social and historical content and the common understanding of the theory of evolution,Lu Xun has a strong Nietzsche flavor in his literary creation.The influence of Nietzsche’s thought on Lu Xun’s early novel creation is real.The characters and thoughts expressed in Lu Xun’s early novels bear traces of Nietzsche’s thoughts.Lu Xun’s early novels and Nietzsche’s works show a common artistic pursuit.The character images in Lu Xun’s early novels are symbolic,the language of the novels makes good use of aphorisms,and the theme of the novel forms a dual structure of life culture and rational culture.This has a lot to do with Nietzsche’s "The Saying of Zarathustra".In the later period,due to the spread of Marxism and the maturity of Lu Xun’s own thought,Lu Xun alienated Nietzsche’s thought,but this alienation was not a simple criticism,but Lu Xun’s examination and reflection on Nietzsche’s thought.On the whole,Nietzsche’s influence on Lu Xun and his literary creation was accompanied by his life. |
