Worship Of The Subjective Consciousness

The modern Chinese literature began to form when the eastern culture came across and confronted the western one. As one of the pioneers of the new literature, Lu Xun consulted and absorbed the quintessence of western culture actively, while searching into and analyzing the age-long cultural tradition of China. Therefore the cultural aptitude became the essential attribute of his personality. Toward the Christianity , we can say, he hold the dialectical attitude. He accepted , criticized, and also worshiped with the subjective consciousness. What's more , the Christianity also formed into a complex and deep cultural meaning in his mind. In concept of value, he shared resemblance in personality with Jesus and Satan. He confirmed Jesus' sacrifice for redeem and Satan's heresy, as well. In morality, he treated the Christianity as a kind of cultural phenomenon, a kind of metaphysical philosophy. He syncretized it with his self-spiritual world . And the awareness of original sin and the consciousness of confession corresponded with his experience of life and his introspectiveness of morality. There is something religious in Lu Xun's ways of conduct and psychological experience, but he was not affected by the Christianity in transcendentalism and mere religious belief. It's only a kind of parameter of values. Face to the practical society with clear mind and keep the humane value of the society is his principal standpoint.
