Mainly premising on the relational structure of "Supposing ……but", the thesisreflects and studies the problems of Lu Xun and modernity of Chinese literature. In the thesis, we regard modernity of Chinese literature as theoretical generalization of the transition course from traditional "wen" to modern "literature". About the modernity of Chinese literature, we define from two respects of content and form separately. In content, the core of the modernity of Chinese literature is to reveal and turn back traditional way of value experience of Chinese people. In form, the key demand of the modernity of Chinese literature is to set up new language , ecriture, style and way of expression. There are four chapters in this thesis, disserting as following:Chapter one: "Supposing……but"——the ideal type of Lu Xun's discourse world.Basing on former studies, This chapter constructs the ideal type of Lu Xun's discourse form and gives a explanation on integral value intension and character of Lu Xun's life experiences, which depending on the study of discourse form, rhythm, conception.As a sentence pattern, "Supposing ……" involves a special situation, adive-likely capacity and resolute will. On the contrary, as a sentence pattern,"but……" involves doubting what "Supposing……" involves. as a special sentencepattern, "Supposing……but" means negative expression about a certain possibilitywhich being key proposition of Lu Xun's discourse word.Within Lu Xun's discourse, one party is even stubborn discourse will, another party is equally effective query and contention. So it is always difficult to determine standpoint and attribute of Lu Xun's discourse. On one hand, it makes Lu Xun's discourse be of the character of "refusing to be described", on the other hand , it males Lu Xun's discourse be apt to put into confrontation of various kinds of discourse will, because the descendant can find his own viewpoint which objects to his content in Lu Xun's expression . This kind of expression way comes from Lu Xun's heartfelt feeling of that kind of " swirl " type. This kind of swirl—like experience is still of agitated forever, conflict, its form factor is full of endless offend, query and argument. Lu Xun's experience way of "supposing ……But ……"and corresponding expressionway make people who manage to enter his discourse world and discuss relevant questions often be all in a fluster. If we attempt to enter Lu Xun's discourse world, we must need one methodology which agrees with Lu Xun's discourse world. So, Iregard Lu Xun's way of Experience and expression of "supposing......But......"asthe methodology about the proposition of "Lu Xun and modernity of Chinese literature" .Briefly Say, in order to restore the complexity of Lu Xun who is in thescene of modernity of Chinese literature as much as possible------this is also the keyproblem consciousness of this thesis , on one hand we should pay attention to Lu Xun's efforts in the direction of modernity of Chinese literature, on the other hand, we also should pay attention to Lu Xun's query of modernity of Chinese literature and his entanglement with traditional "wen" resource.Chapter two: resentment and its expression------Lu Xun's criticism of "Chinesenational character". In this and next chapter, I will study matters of substance ofmodernity of Chinese literature------reversing the way of Chinese people 'svalue—sense. With the aid of Nietzsche and M. schele's theory of resentment, I will state that Lu Xun's criticism of traditional way of Chinese people 's value—sense and his difficult position when he attempt to break through that traditional way of Chinese people 's value—sense.M. schele thinks that resentment involves a special way of competing against others. He also thinks that there are some conditions which have resentment 's possibility only owing to their form's character. Modern Chinese is in such a resentment condition. Living in such a condition, Lu Xun receives Yan Fu's theory of evolution because of his status that a man of a weaker country always confronts the danger of death. On the other hand, he isn't pleased with the way of Yan Fu's theory of evolution that seeks a solution through reversing the position of slave and master. Confronting this situation, Lu Xun receives it when he revolts against Modern Chinese in resentment condition .Lu Xun has deeply exposed that mechanism and form of resentment that evolves from weak in his criticism of "Chinese national character". Lu Xun also has reflect social structure and value—sense structure that result in resentment, and construct a classical figure —"MR.Q" who are full of resentment.Chapter three: Lu Xun and resentment. In this chapter, I will think about whether Lu Xun's criticism of "Chinese national character" is also a conduct full of resentment, and I will further discuss whether Lu Xun has a soul full of resentment?In Lu Xun's criticism of "Chinese national character", as the profound signs , his defeatist sentiments mark that modern Chinese is in a resentment condition. On the other hand, Lu Xun doesn't shun and conceal but earnestly confront with his defeatist sentiments, which preventing him from the morass of resentment. It is a paradoxical fact.There are a number of examples of resentment on the aspects of Lu Xun's life such as his absorption, inclination and expression about literature. The stylistic character of "reversal values" in Lu Xun's essay resembles that mechanism of resentment. I think that they have opposite function when they have similar construction. Though it seems to be full of resentment, Lu Xun's essay is an antidote to resentment. It is also a paradoxical fact.In some works with motif of vengeance ,Lu Xun deeply probes into a complexity full of vengeance, resentment and humiliation. In this complexity full of resentment, Lu Xun has begin to grimly probes into his soul, which makes Lu Xun's criticism of "Chinese national character" has great soul—stirring effect.Resentment phenomenon happened on Lu Xun undoubtedly make us have more complicated understanding of modernity of Chinese literature but merely attempt to prove how much modernity happened on Lu Xun. In fact, this demonstration makes use of Lu Xun to cater to some demand of modernity of Chinese literature.With regard to Lu Xun's meaning to Chinese literature modernity, Lu Xun Who incorporates is various kinds of contradictions in the swirl that modernity of Chinese literature takes place, has been the most complicated sample of modernity of Chinese literature.Chapter four: from "wen" to "literature"------Lu Xun and development ofmodernity, of Chinese literature. In this chapter, I will study Lu Xun 's view and practice in the course of Chinese literature from "wen" to "literature" on the aspect of "ecriture", "style" and "way of expression".In this course, it's a fact that Lu Xun manage to expound the new literature spirit. But it's also a fact that Lu Xun is torn between new literature conception and traditional "wen'"s resources. Lu Xun regards Chinese character but Chinese language as the foundation of Chinese literature. Contrast with Hu Shi's practice in Vernacular Movement , Lu Xun's ecriture has based on his literal translation that reflects his thoughts of looking for the possibility of using Chinese character for catering to the west's unusual literature spirit. As the most conspicuous stylisticcharacter, "za" means upset fixed style classification of new literature. Lu Xun's style has a close relationship with traditional resources of "wen".Lu Xun's "Europeanized ecriture" is all the time in spiritual conflict between Chinese and west literature and in the fight with that stiff expression way. Through Imitating specific tone> Sound, he deeply exposes false and funny of that stiff expression way in Chinese classical world. Lu Xun's "Europeanized ecriture" benefits from confluence of language and speech that is recommend in Vernacular Movement. In "Europeanized ecriture", his brilliance in choice of words is due to Chinese tradition of "wen "that the article should based on Chinese character.On the tactics of expression, Lu Xun has fiercely criticized Confucius's way that conceal truthful thoughts through uninformed statement. Lu Xun is still suffered in his life from his wishes that there are coherency in discourse form, discourse content and discourse will. In fact, Lu Xun has absorbed lots of tactics from Confucius and Taoists which signify intricate effect of traditional resources in the course of development of Chinese literature's modernity.Chapter five: art 's "ideal "and "dilemma"------ Lu Xun and the problem ofChinese literature's aesthetic modernity. About aesthetic modernity, Lu Xun emphasizes the importance of combination between "aestheticism" and "nationalism" which accords with M. schele's original meaning of his theory of aestheticism. About aestheticism trend in modern Chinese literature, its attempt to shun social responsibility under cover of aestheticism has been criticized by Lu Xun.The aestheticism ideological trend appeared in the Modern Chinese Literature history focus on more art's function of consoling and freeing as to life. In fact, aesthetic assurance of the predicament that the mankind survives is a no alternative choice. As to the mankind, the meaning of aesthetic activity lies in that it is the only way that can express and bless the mankind's perceptual experience which is extremely emphasized by the original meaning of the aesthetic modernity.As a "sacrificial utensil" that turns towards living predicament of modern Chinese people, Lu Xun who regards life and literature as a aesthetic mask has been "a realist in the most significance" in the Modern Chinese Literature history.
