Appreciation of Lu Xun's essays:
Lu Xun's essays can analyze the theme sharply and dissect the key points of the object with concise and sharp writing. "Written combat is just like other military combat or fist fighting. You can take advantage of the opportunity and kill the enemy with one blow."
Lu Xun's essays are good at making use of the internal contradictions of his opponents, using his spear to attack his shield. For example, in "Literature and Sweating", the arguments and arguments of the enemy's theory of human nature are first presented: "Professors in Shanghai teach people about literature, thinking that literature should describe the eternal human nature, otherwise it will not last long.
For example, in England, Shakespeare and one or two other people wrote about human nature that is eternal and unchanging, so it is still passed down to this day. If the rest did not do this, they would all be wiped out." Then he seized on the contradiction in the other party's logic and asked back: "Since they have been eliminated, how can the current professor see it and conclude that what they write is not the eternal human nature."
This has the effect of "taking advantage of the opportunity and defeating the enemy with one blow", giving full play to the combat effects of "dagger" and "throwing spear". Lu Xun's essays have thorough reasoning, solid arguments, strong polemical nature and irrefutable logical power, so they have a sharp and aggressive style.
