In Lu Xun, the thoughts of reforming national character is one of the most external and the most basic ideas of its features and it is also the general task of social criticism and civilization criticism. What's more, as a soldier in the culture aspect, it is also the overall goal to fight for. In recent years, the study of Lu Xun's ideas on reforming the national character is not as important as that in the 80s and 90s, but it is still a major issue concerned by the academic. The thesis uses two opposite concepts "the people's morale" and "people's strength" to study the Lu Xun's thoughts of reforming national character. It is the fact that is different from the former papers, but it is only a preliminary attempt and analysis. The paper is divided into three parts:PartⅠ:the meaning and manifestations of "the people's bad morale", Review of "the people's morale" as negative national characteristics. Lu Xun look on the people's morale as a negative word was used, it includes some bad habits of the people and people are controlled by subjective feelings with non-rational thought and spirit features. It performs in various forms:cowardly; fraud; a show of not convinced; "theater spectators" and so on. Be noted that, "the people's morale" includes both the ideal characteristics of group and ideal characteristic of individual.PartⅡ:explore the causes of "the people's morale". Determined by the small-scale peasant form of traditional Chinese economic structure and social structure, and the establishment of the ideology and thoughts of their tyranny, "the people's morale" forms. They are the economic, political and social reasons of it. In addition, the deeper reason is the traditional cultural patterns, that is, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and the results of the three major cultural interactions, and especially the Taoist culture disseminated staggering. The reasons includes:the influence of the structure of the feudal peasant economy; feudal autocratic rule and the long-term results of obscurantism; war with the alien invasion of (people study the three parts more, slightly abbreviated); Chinese traditional culture negative impact. PartⅢ:input and cultivate "the people's strength". The feature of the "people's morale" affiliates to the national character, but it is a bad quality. How to transform it? This is a basic issue that Lu Xun takes a long time to think and explore. Thus, as a opposed concept, Lu Xun proposed the concept of "people's strength", advocate,input and nurture it. In Lu Xun's opinion, the inherent characteristics of the "people's strength" are mainly two aspects:the courage and reason. This is actually the exploration of Lu Xun's ideas in the thought and method. Actually, this equals to the "ideal of humanity" when Lu Xun was young. So he wrote two novels called and, and shaped the ideal characters, such as Yu and Mo. Conclusion:The transformation of national character in Lu Xun's thought, full of the reality of Lu Xun's deep concern and toughness of the fighting spirit.
