It's well known that Lu Xun's short stories have been usually been considered to be profound in ideas and rich in meanings. However, What* re the paths to reach the depth by it's rhetorical skills?Provided Lu Xun's fictions were put into the visual field of Rhetoric, it could not very difficult for us to find out the design of dual textual structures just because of two types of the implied readers in his works of fiction. One is the common readers and the other is the intellectual ones. The former is accordingly made consistent with the feels ?structure that it's internal nucleus is the implied author's shout encouragement and enlightenment. The latter is accordingly made consistent with the intellectual structure which originally acts as the "potential dialogue" between two kinds of the intellectuals. Although the two structures of the same texts have their conceptual abstract and clear line, but their realistic condition is a indivisible whole, which can be called the "structure of the feelings and intellectual" or the "dual structure of the feelings and intellectual" . This is the just structure that may open the door to anybody. Nevertheless, this kind of design is originated in Lu Xun's intense role ~ conscience, or his professional author's conscience, in particular his caring about his readers.It seems that we could accidently get to the depth of Lu Xun' s thought at the time when we look for the root of the design of the feelings and intellectual structure.To us, the "never - broken Irom - Room" that has no windows, in his works of fiction Cring out-Self-Prelude , can not only reflect his profundity in thought but also his implicity of his texts of fiction in some way. "Iron ?Room" is neither the feudal rule, nor the tradition of the feudal thoughts, but an unbroken structure which is comprised by the Thought, the Thought's context and the Thought's subject. This is a structure that man can't be master of it's fate, so it is just because that it is a structure and it is just only because that it is a structure, it can have "never ?broken" hope as that Lu Xun once said.Being conspicuously related with the discovery of the "Iron - room" to some extent in some way, the structures of Lu Xun's fictions are no longer the only container of the narrative elements such as characters, stories, plots, discourse and so on. The structures are as important as discourse for that they will stand out and keep their authors from difficulties when discourse at it' s wits end. This kind of discourse of no words, or so ?called the invisible discourse, may be difficult for the common readers to understand. However, it created another poetics for the intellectual more often than not. For it's real art function would be to "make its readers sensitive and read the slight effect from his works." Nevertheless, there are many structures that Lu Xun designed with great care, such as the prelude ?text structure, the duplicate - negative structure, the round structure, the inverse proportion structure, the direct proportion structure, the blank structure etc. By means of them, Lu Xun made his texts of fiction more abundant and profound than words itself. Therefore, if we are in contempt of them when reading, the theme would hardly be caught catch of.Owing to the art looking for "self - expressing" and the historical responsiblity of "inquiring into nationality", Lu Xun made the thought (while not the disposition) as the narrative centre of his novels. "Thought becomes the depicted reforene and the centre of the role. "Therefore, the most valuable connutation in his novels usedn' t to be the beauty of personal character but the thought or skills in main personal role's languages. When we read his novels, we'd rather understand its thought than its characters, personal role than person itself. For example, the most capitivated topic in Lu '^an' s the MadDaily must include its thought topic and narrative skills of its first expression of "chi-nese has still been the nation of eating human".Any a...
