The Controversy About Lu Xun And Revolutionary Literature

Before the controversy about the "Revolutionary Literature" ,because the political situation had changed in China, and Lu Xun was involved among various wave frequently by himself, Lu Xun's daily life were also in turmoil, Such turbulence to the life of Lu Xun had affected his thoughts to a certain extent.To the Northern warlords political domination, Lu Xun have not any hope. However, there were not enough prevailing social forces and the opposition forces, which can be able to override the darkness of the Northern warlords rule. Lu Xun not only for the Northern government with great disappointment, but to the so-called "intellectual class" is very disappointed. He was very dissatisfied with some of the unrealistic intellectuals, the "Good Governments Ism". Whether for the Northern government is the rule, or to the "Intellectual Class", "Middlebrow" and "The Destiny of Heaven" ,Lu Xun's attitude is positive and some angry despair. Due to the current social forces can not achieve social reconstruction and redevelopment of the civilization. Under such circumstances, Lu Xun put the only hope on this point in the "destruction" and "ideological revolution" soldier. At this time,although Lu Xun was still follow a "revolution" to achieve the new innovative "ideas on May 4," at the same time he increasingly felt the literary and cultural changes in society to demonstrate the weakness and inability.Before the controversy about the "Revolutionary Literature", turbulent life of Lu Xun in this period of changes in his thinking have some impact. For involvement in the "Female Normal University vogue," "9.18" tragedy, Lu Xun, the government on the so-called "blacklist" had to have "fled to the western part of wilderness" and the "mountain refuge to the hospital", "Hospital emigrated from Germany France Hospital, continue to asylum. " When he finished this life , Lu Xun would move south to Xiamen University, and then moved to the "hotbed of revolution" in Guangzhou, for teaching in Zhongshan University. In turbulent life, the life of Lu Xun's personal feelings changes have also taken place. For Lu Xun, he has chosen to take the initiative to contact the "Soviet Art" and "Left-wing Culture", on the one hand from his social and cultural realities and the Institute of disappointment; the other from Lu Xun his own kind of "revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still work to be done," the tireless spirit of exploration,because he want to solve their own ideological and close to the plight of "Revolutionary Literature." Lu Xun intend to create community cooperation, in addition to their own lives and feel close to the "Revolutionary Literature", which also have pulled blocs to oppose the "Modernist" strategy move. But the cooperation with The Society of Creation was eventually failed because the "turn" of The Society of Creation."Revolutionary Literature" advocates for promoting "revolutionary literature" and the "May 4th" New Culture Movement, the focus of "Cultural Criticism "in order to complete the" bourgeois May 4 "to the" proletariat May 4 "conversion. In this process, Lu Xun as a "May 4th" writers of the main representative by the "Revolutionary Literature" advocates of fierce criticism. Lu Xun from his own life experience and practical experience, of literature itself to the freedom and independence of argument, "Revolutionary Literature" advocates a tit-for-tat arguments. "Revolutionary Literature" that advocates revolution and literature is unified, "Literature is the precursor of the revolution -- the revolution of the times will be a golden age of literature -- this proposition we is often heard. " From the revolution of class antagonism and resistance class, Literature and Revolution demonstrated the consistency, They further maintain that the revolution in literature and the relationship, only the existence of two literature, is a "Revolutionary Literature" One is "counter-revolutionary literature." They think that as long as the revolution class position, created or appreciate literature is revolutionary literature; In contrast to this, Lu Xun is considered "a good artistic work is not always more people order, regardless of the consequences, naturally from the hearts of emotion thing, "first position, the literary theme first" in literature do not value, not even said whether a person moved. " Lu Xun Literature for the same time in the revolution will have much effect there is a lot of doubts : "I think : Literature, is the most useless and not force people to talk; powerful people do not speak, murder, oppression of the people to say a few words, write the words, we should have been killed; Fortunately, even if not killed, but every day cheering, groaning, injustice and powerful people are still oppressed, abuse, killings, not against them "" China's current social situations, only a revolution in the field of war, a poem Sun Chuanfan threatened not to take a gun put the Sun Chuanfan thieves. It was also natural that the revolution in literature is the Mighty, But I personally feel that doubt. "Literature and Revolution on the relationship In view of Lu Xun Literature is not as Guo Moruo said is a revolutionary pioneer, "like the maintenance of the arts people, in every revolution, they love to say 'art is a revolutionary pioneer'. I think this is very suspicious. or foreign countries such strikes; China has its own special conditions should be the exception. "In Lu Xun's view, there is the pioneer of the revolutionary army, representatives of the people is the second pioneer Writers can only be regarded as the third pioneer. Lu Xun thinks that not only the Literature is not a revolutionary pioneer, but also the revolution is not literature.Lu Xun and advocaters of "Revolutionary Literature" have the differences inherent in nature. In order to give "Revolutionary Literature" itself with more rationality and legitimacy, in order to enable "revolutionary literature" more deeply rooted among the the appeal of a more modern, thus achieve greater social impact,the advocaters of "Revolutionary Literature" often based on the possession of the truth, Value ultimate explanation of the identity with the statement that the tone of their theoretical propositions : for the violent change of the tide of the times is the general says, for many authors and readers as well as arbitrary accusations. In such circumstances, the advocaters of "Revolutionary Literature", the so-called "critics" were then himself as a precursor trend of the times, see themselves as guiding spirit of the times with mold, corresponding to the author and the reader will become a guide who was with shapers. And Lu Xun has never positioned itself as the possession of the truth and the ultimate value of the interpreter. Lu Xun is a majority adhere to the "enlightened" position, and the "Enlightenment" there has been a critical look at and reflect on. Therefore, Lu Hsun unacceptable "Revolutionary Literature" advocates of the "Train" mentality.In the arguemengt of the "Revolutionary Literature", the advocaters of "Revolutionary Literature" have an important theoretical basis of Marxism that the economic base and superstructure relations line. Although they may not really understand Marxism, but they do have them "all the criticism" on the basis of this. Lu Xun whether as a "writer" or a "Critic" he takes criticism is not "all criticism" but only a "limited critical." Lu Xun here are engaged in a kind of criticism is only human nature criticism, that is, it is a cultural or pan-cultural criticism, Lu Xun as a "writer" an important objective, Let reality is the spirit are suppressed and distorted human nature of people were awakened and for a clear understanding of human nature, then "live happily and lead a reasonable life."The advocaters of "Revolutionary Literature" strongly,highlighted extrude the importance of the revolution and the significance is no denying that Then it turned into a literary performance revolution, the revolution instigated morale painted a bright prospect of a revolution means and tools. Literature "tool" of the "Revolutionary Literature" advocates there is a very obvious. Compared with "Revolutionary Literature", Lu Xun is the "Literary for Revolution", in his view, "Literature is the product of a well-off."...
