Brief Introduction to Flowers in the Morning and Picking Up in the Evening
Lu Xun
I often want to find a little leisure in confusion, but it's really not easy. At present, it is so bizarre, and my heart is so complicated. When a person only has memories, his life will probably be boring forever, but sometimes he has no memories. China's articles are standard, but the world is still spiral. When I left Sun Yat-sen University the other day, I remembered leaving Xiamen University four months ago. Hearing the chirping of planes overhead, I remembered the scene of planes hovering over Beijing every day a year ago. At that time, I also wrote a short article called Yi Jue.
Now, even this "sleep" is gone.
The weather in Guangzhou is really hot early, and the sunset enters from the west window, forcing people to barely put on a thin coat. A pot of "water branches" on the desk is something I have never seen before: it is just a section of tree, and its branches and leaves are lovely as long as they are immersed in water. Look at the green leaves, edit the old manuscript, and finally make a difference. Doing this kind of thing is really a day to live and a year to die, which can drive away the heat.
The day before yesterday, Weeds was edited. This time, it was my turn to bring up the past in Mangyuan, and I also changed his name: cordate telosma. Flowers with dew are much better, but I can't. Even if it's strange in my mind now, I can't make him become a strange essay in an instant. In other words, when he looks up at the clouds, he will blink in front of me.
Once, I recalled many times the fruits and vegetables I ate in my hometown when I was a child: water chestnut, arhat bean, water bamboo and wax gourd. These are extremely delicious; Used to be the temptation to make me homesick. Later, I tasted it after a long separation, and that's it; Just in memory, there are old meanings. They may lie to me for the rest of my life and keep me looking back. These ten articles were copied from memory, which may be somewhat different from the actual content, but I only remember these now. The style is probably very messy, because I dropped out of school after writing for nine months. The environment is different: the first two articles are written under the east wall of Beijing apartment; Three of them are in displacement, and the places are hospitals and carpenters' rooms; The last five articles are upstairs in the library of Xiamen University, and have been pushed out by scholars.

Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening are a collection of essays written by Lu Xun. The author said that these articles were "copied from memory" and "recalled". At first, it was published in the semi-monthly "Mangyuan" with the theme of "recalling the past". 1928 When it assembled in September, it was renamed as "Morning Flowers and Late Picking".
Spend early and spend late * * * earned 10 works. Including: dogs, cats and mice, hate and hate cats; I miss my big mother's Chang and Shan Hai Jing; Twenty-four filial piety pictures criticized the feudal concept of filial piety; Wu Canghui showed the shadow of feudal paternalism; Depicting impermanence, superstition and intoxicating messengers in legends; Write Jason Wu's "From Herbal Garden to San Tan Yin Yue"; Expose the quack's "father's disease"; Notes describing the evil and disgusting image of YanTaitai; Mr. Fujino, the Japanese teacher who appreciates Lu Xun most; Fan Ainong, a fellow countryman friend who was down and out all his life.
Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening combine memories of the past with real life, which fully shows the author's great enthusiasm for caring about life and reforming society.
After reading:
I don't know why Lu Xun changed "Memories of Time Past" to "Picking Flowers in the Evening", but I have to say that the morning flowers picked in the evening are not just old things, but new things, which are happy and sad.
There is no denying that Lu Xun's scolding is China's unique skill, so that some people are nervous about scolding dogs, cats and mice, and they can't take off their barbed hats. No wonder Mr. Lu loves to scold "dogs". This kind of good thing of "cursing animals" is not "breaking the law". Only his old man's house has taken up all the light, at least he is happier than killing pigs with a white knife and going out with a red knife.
Not to mention whether those "famous professors" have dropped a dog's blood on their heads, but this "unruly" "high hat" has been firmly put on, making people see that the "dagger" is in the middle.
Even a thin collection of reminiscence essays is full of indignation and sharpness of other essays and novels. Irony is charming. Of course, in Lu Xun's works, this is called art. ..
Every article in junior high school Chinese textbooks contains Lu Xun's articles, and most of them are selected from this beautiful name-"Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening". I thought about it for a long time. What is the smell of morning flowers picked in the evening?
Acid. Indeed, reading Lu Xun's article is a bit sour. What acid? Sadness. You see "Father's Disease", the author never writes positively about the decline of his family's wealth. Judging from his father's words, the author's fatigue of running around and looking forward and backward is peaceful on the surface, but he can't help it inside. At the end of the article, YanTaitai instigated the author to yell at his father, but left the "biggest mistake" to the author. Touching, and there is no lack of YanTaitai's selfish and talkative image secretly mocked.
Tian Tian doesn't talk about the warmth of Chang and Lu Xun saluting during the Chinese New Year, nor about the joy and excitement when watching social dramas and the Fifth Chamber Games. Let's talk about the childlike interest of "oil flies whisper and crickets play the piano here" in Baicao Garden. All feelings are naive and romantic, and all feelings are kind and gentle, as if boarding the unique Lushi Bridge and entering the sweet childhood hometown.
Bitter. It is bitter to be enemies of "celebrities" and "gentlemen", bitter to die of Chang's father and son, and bitter to bid farewell to Mr. Fujino. He jumped into the "big dye vat" of old China and couldn't get rid of it, which was even more miserable. The revolution is bitter, the people are bitter, and Lu Xun is also bitter. There is also this book "Flowers at Morning" that has been visited in tyranny, darkness and cigar smoke.
Spicy. Lu Xun's true colors. Spicy brushwork will naturally have the person pointed by the pen. The phrase, "A thousand fingers are pointing at each other, but my eyebrows are cold," is awe-inspiring in the image of a person who is above others, and has no mercy on the attacks and taunts of the opposition and conservative forces. For example, the biting satire on Chen and Xu is very intriguing.
The smell of salty tears. Simple and touching prose is enough to make people cry. The dribs and drabs of the past are the salt in Flowers in the Morning, and the memories are stained with salt and splashed on the readers' thoughtful hearts.
Most of the memoirs I have read are idle and catching shadows, but I have never seen the morning flowers picked this evening have a different flavor, as colorful as the morning flowers.
Couplets about early flowers and late flowers;
Drink Huasan alone to release the chest.
Cold clothes can't stand the heat.
Who do the morning and evening flowers belong to?
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter
Original reading: /luxun/zhxs/ His works describe the author's childhood life and the course of studying in his youth, recall those unforgettable people and events, and express his nostalgia for his former relatives and teachers. In the narrative and discussion, the work attacked and mocked the reactionary conservative forces. The first work, Dog, Cat and Mouse, was triggered by attacking "gentlemen", mocking the "gossip" they spread and expressing their hatred for cats' characteristics such as "torturing the weak", "barking everywhere" and sometimes "coquetry". Recall the experience and feeling that a lovely hidden mouse saved as a child was destroyed. It shows sympathy for the weak and hatred for the oppressor.
"A Chang and Shan Hai Jing" recalls the scene of getting along with the nanny Dragon Mother when I was a child, and describes the dragon mother's kind, simple, superstitious and nagging character. "Full stomach is a troublesome etiquette"; I am full of respect and gratitude to her for finding and giving her a long-awaited painting "Shan Hai Jing". The article expresses the sincere memory of this working woman in affectionate language.
Starting with the children's books at that time, Twenty-four Filial Paintings recalls the feelings of reading Twenty-four Filial Paintings when I was a child, and reveals the hypocrisy and cruelty of feudal filial piety. The stories of filial piety, such as "Seeking carp on the ice", "Old Lai entertaining relatives" and "Guo Ju burying children", are emphatically analyzed, accusing this feudal filial piety of ignoring children's lives, taking nausea as pleasure, "taking unkindness as a training, slandering ancient evils and teaching future generations ill". The work sharply criticized the tendency of opposing vernacular Chinese and advocating retro at that time.
Wu Canghui describes the eagerness and excitement when I was a child, and the feeling of disappointment and pain when my father forced me to recite Jian lue. It pointed out that compulsory feudal education suppressed and destroyed children's nature.
Impermanence describes the image of impermanence seen in the countryside and drama stage when I was a child, which shows that the straightforward and fair image of impermanence is loved by the people because there is no justice in the world, the wicked can't get what they deserve, and "fair trial is in the underworld". In the discussion, under the banner of "justice" and "justice", the article made a bitter mockery of "gentleman".
From Baicaoyuan to Sanyan Yinyue, I described the fun in Baicaoyuan's home and the boring life of studying in Santan Yinyue when I was a child, revealed the sharp contradiction between children's extensive interests in life and feudal bookstore education that bound children's nature, and expressed the reasonable requirements for children's healthy and lively growth.
"Father's Disease" recalls the scene of delaying treatment for his father as a child, describes the attitudes, styles and prescriptions of several "famous doctors", and reveals their ignorance of witchcraft and medicine, mystifying, extortion and disregard for the essence of human life.
The above seven works describe the fragments of Lu Xun's childhood life in his hometown, showing the human feelings and social features at that time, and are valuable chapters for understanding young Lu Xun. The following three works, Xiaozi Notes, Mr. Fujino and Fan Ainong, describe Lu Xun's experience after leaving his hometown to study in Nanjing and Japan, leaving a heavy footprint on young Lu Xun's pursuit of truth.
Miscellaneous Notes tells how Lu Xun went to Nanjing to study and look for "another kind of person". The work describes the disadvantages and difficulties of studying in Jiangnan Naval Academy (later renamed Thunder Academy) and Mining Railway Academy at that time, and criticizes the "cigar smoke" of Westernization Academy. The author described his excitement when he first came into contact with the theory of evolution. He read the theory of evolution hungrily despite the opposition of the older generation and showed a strong desire to explore the truth.
"Mr Fujino" records the author's study life while studying in Japan, and describes the process of being discriminated against and insulted by Japanese students in Sendai Medical College and deciding to abandon medicine and join literature. The author highlights the rigor, integrity, enthusiasm and noble character of Mr. Fujino, a Japanese teacher, saying that "his character is great in my eyes and heart, although his name is not known to many people". Expressed deep affection for Mr. Fujino.
Fan Ainong traces the author's contact with Fan Ainong during his stay in Japan and after his return to China. It describes Fan Ainong's dissatisfaction with the dark society before the revolution and his pursuit of the revolution, as well as his persecution after the Revolution of 1911. It shows his disappointment with the old democratic revolution and his sympathy and mourning for this upright and stubborn patriot.
