Features: This book is divided into three chapters, arranged in chronological order, and conducts a rigorous study of Mr. Lu Xun's reception and relationship with traditional culture. The book presents a thorough description of traditional and folk culture, a meticulous analysis of historical phenomena and textual works, and a dense development of theoretical reasoning and logical deduction, demonstrating a distinct and valuable academic depth. The profoundness and vastness of Lu Xun, combined with the long-standing and complex nature of traditional Chinese culture, make the study of Lu Xun's reception or inheritance of traditional culture highly open-ended. This openness is reflected in: as long as one has some understanding of Lu Xun or traditional Chinese culture, it is possible to gain insights that approach the essence of this issue. However, once one realizes that the openness of things is a manifestation of their infinite meaning, it becomes clear that insights that merely stop at the surface may have more negative effects on further understanding and grasping this issue. This neglect of the whole, the (: random, incidental) tendency toward potential or the direct hindrance of consciousness from focusing deeply and persistently on this complex issue, is one of the reasons why the study of this issue quickly stagnated after the beginning of the new era. Even if this cannot be entirely attributed to it, it is closely related to it. As long as one reviews the historical state of people's understanding and grasp of this issue before, this judgment can be made.
