The debate of "Revolutionary Literature" was very important theoretical debates, camp differentiation, and knowledge transformation in the history of modern Chinese literature, thought and revolution. It's also the process that intellectuals dealt with discourse and practice about "revolution" under the background of1920s'nationalist revolution. It's not only under the influence of Chinese society and history,but also under the influence of the left wing thought around the world. The local resistance resources, the revolutionary theory from Russian, and the academic thought from Japan mixed together, formed the varied and colourful context of Chinese left wing thought and literature.This period was also the stage of Lu Xun's "transformation". He gained his own understanding of Marxist theory of literature and art by translating during the debate of "revolutionary literature". Lu Xun not adjust his thought and literature, but participated in the revolution, got together with people, prospected new man, moved towards the great times through literature.So this thesis focuses on the following questions:how did Lu Xun's "transformation" been produced historically? What's the real connotation? What's the relation between it and the debate of "revolutionary literature"? Since the reading of Marxism played a big role in Lu Xun's "transformation", how can this process got its possibility? How did Lu Xun's unique understanding created in the "history of reading"? What's the position of Lu Xun's "literature" during his "transformation"? In the context of China, What's the unique understanding of "Class","Propaganda","New Man" and so on, how can these resources prompt the power to respond to history and reality?As we see, in the study of "history of reading", Lu Xun's "transformation" not only happened in the deep level, but also appeared on the surface of language. From these changes, we can see how did Lu Xun moved to the great times."Class","Class Consciousness " were the conceptions that Lu Xun used to observe Chinese society, but the using was different from the critique of political economics, it was close to his own literature. For Lu Xun, literature was not the transparent reflection of the class which was formed, it will provide the space of formulation and imagination, help to bring about the class come into being, and the possibility of communication and transformation between different classes."Propaganda" and "Ideology" were not the things Lu Xun opposed unless they were not consistent with man's own idea. As early stage of Lu Xun's literature,"Propaganda" was very powerful. But it was the power of the deceive or the truth, that is Lu Xun maintain sharp vigilance constantly.Lu Xun taken "Social Sciences" as the totality method that Marxist applied to practice of China. It can research and reform "society" as well as a series of scientific method. In this sense, literature was not simply the art of sentiment, but the part of social phenomenon, the complex reflection of economic structure and the representation of class psychology, it can become the new literature that help people get their voices and new life by Marxist critic. At the same time, the old class people like Lu Xun can get their position in new history.Lu Xun did not repose his hope on the Fellow Traveler who participate in the revolution, but did not understand it, though they are very skilful with literature. He mentioned the Revolutionary People frequently, but did not think they are perfect, still want to ask how to get the transition. Though the new man in the proletarian revolution literature of Russian, Lu Xun approached the new Historical consciousness gradually.
