The thesis mainly uses the research methods of aesthetic analysis, biographical note, psychoanalysis, dream science, existentialism, life philosophy and types induction based on the text intensive reading. I divide the contents into three parts as follows.The firstly, I establish the nonnegligible position of the wild flowers and grass in the essays. It is looked as a whole organic psychological world. The prose poets Autumn Night, Snow, the Good Story, the Passer-by, the Good Hell That Was Lost, the Blighted Leaf, the Awakening might be concerned. After intensive reading and understanding about the paragraphs concerned, I look for the images evolution source and origin from the Lu Xun 's early work and thought stage. This can be concluded that Lu Xun's favorite and conscientiously practice for botany, painting and translation of fairy tales. These activities formed the unerasable complex in the deep spirit, so came forth the sprinkle images of the wild flowers and grass. I begin to study Lu Xun's humanistic spirit in order to analyse his conservative aesthetic agency as the role of the traditional scholar in the last century. It could be seen from the traditional poetry education influence, transcribing the inscription and proofreading the ancient books during the Shaoxing Assembly Hall silence period. In addition to Lu Xun's naive nature and fairy tales love, we could see the group of brilliant flowers and grass images such as the white cardenia, the plum and winter plum, the camellias, the hollyhocks, the wild roses and lilies. In the other hand, Lu Xun was a fighter against the despair, felt and experienced the agony and discontentment about secular affairs, but never had been knocked down. So the weaker flowers and grass emerged in his essays that was the minute pink flowers, the date tree, the cold green weeds, the mandrake flower, the blighted leaf and the wild thistle. Those images always shows active and positive spirit though in poor conditions. The origin may resulted from Lu Xun's translation works which people was insulted and damaged rooted in eastern Europe small and weak nations. But except that, it evidently showed Lu Xun's creation and transcendence.The secondly, I divide the "dream" prose poets into three categories to benefit the analysis. The first category is all kinds of dreams adopted the methods of modern dream science and psychoanalysis. The essays concerned the Shadow's Leave-taking ,the Good Story, Dead Fire, Tremors of Degradation respectively present four typical modes which is terrified, joyful, crazy dreams and nightmare. I stress on the author's daily behaviors study to find the formation process of subconsciousness and hold the dreams colour by the emotion's strong and weak, explicit and implicit. The second category is the dreams of allegory. To research the characteristics of the literary dreams must focus on Kuriyagawa's Symbols of Anguish that was translated by Lu Xun. On Kuriyagawa's opinion for western literature, he highly affirmed the dream's function on the description of human's inner psychological world. He put forward the two modes of fabular dream that was animals talking and characters story. The corresponding essays are the Dog's Retort and on Expressing an Opinion. The third category is the dreams of death. It embodies the continuous subjects of death involving the Epitaph, the Good Hell That Was Lost and after Death. Through the perspective of existentialism and life philosophy to analyze the three essays all manifestation of contradiction, agony and transcendence in the world. From the death fables meaning angle we could say the Good Hell That Was Lost is the fable about the whole nation and the other two are about individuals. At last, I use the method of art aesthetic analysis to conclude the symbol techniques of language, scene, action and colour in the dream essays. Fanally, I try to look Wild Grass the "dream" allegory field as a whole.The thirdly, the types evolution track on Wild Grass. I was enlightened by the study method of "unit image' proposed by Qian Liqun. I firstly define the stylistic features of prose poem based on the several ideas in academic circle. Subsequently I talk from the prose poetry introduction background and pay attention to the essays named Soliloquizes as Wild Grass origin in combing its development process. Then I establish the connection between them in the theme and content aspects to find the inner evolution basis. It benefits to display the "growing" types evolution track used by the genealogy method. For example, in comparison with the works such as Hot Blast, Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk, Hesitation I find the resemble types in story structure, background, settings, theme , topic, character and images. In comparison to non-Lu Xun's works, foreign literature is a large reference system. The thesis only pick out a piece of India Buddhist Sutra named the Scripture of One Hundred Parables as the analysis object, mainly stressed on the types variation of fable structure and Buddhism parlance. In a word, "type" is a profoundly topic. Lu Xun's greatness is that he never confined his thinking about type within an only one work. He developed, derived and updated the types incessantly in different works. This can render the feeling and emotion maximally. And this is the basis for getting through the texts to outlook the author's spirit and thought world.
