Features: This book includes all of Lu Xun's diaries, letters, translations, and works other than his collated and edited ancient texts. It also adds some confirmed lost works of Lu Xun, as well as descriptions and annotations of collated ancient texts and rubbings of inscriptions and calligraphy. The greatest feature of this book is its combination of text and illustrations. It is the first to publish Lu Xun's works in chronological order, newly compiling Lu Xun's collected works based on the order of publication and publication dates. The works collected include over a thousand of Lu Xun's novels, essays, poems,, prefaces, and postfaces, along with more than four thousand historical photographs, including figures from Lu Xun's era, the historical background of his works, life contexts, era customs, and historical stories. The Collected Works of Lu Xun in Chronological Order (Illustrated Edition) is a bold attempt. The purpose of its compilation is to provide an alternative way of reading Lu Xun. For researchers, the chronological arrangement helps better grasp the threads of Lu Xun's writing and thought, and the abundant historical photographs also hold great value for reference and collection. In terms of layout, it adopts a combination of the Gregorian calendar and the sexagenary cycle, creating a strong sense of historical depth, clear threads, and convenient reference.
