190116 to Xu Shoushang [1] Ji Shijun's foot: A few days ago, I am here. He sent the third and fourth copies of the five volumes of "New Youth", and now it has arrived. When he came to ask the boy what he had recited, he could not answer. Because of the ancient Chinese books, the leaves are harmful, and the new books are also done by many people, which are useless. For the sake of today's plan, we can only read the text of its natural things, and omit its stories, because the description of heavenly things is not evil, and the story is mostly false, ugly and easy to treat, and false is difficult to cure. The Chinese language should be abolished in the end, the text will be abolished if the people are saved, and the people should die if the literature is saved, and there is no way to survive in this era. But it is a pity that my generation and my children have to sacrifice some energy at this time. Servant Yijun teaches poetry and English [2], but with the cultivation of ideas that adapt to the times as the first friendship, it seems that the style does not have to be very decided, and the practice of singing at this moment may not be very effective in the future, as long as the mind can be free, then no matter what the tide is in the future, it will be able to be linked with it. There are very few books that can be read by teenagers in China, and Meng has always paid attention to them, and they also have the meaning of translation, but they have no time, no talent, no money, and I am afraid that the results will be very rare. Those who advocate the use of the vernacular seem to be increasing in recent times, but the enemy has also risen in groups, attacking from all directions, and there are very few supporters, so there are many things to do. The University's "Selected Exemplary Writings" [3], mimeographed by the department, has been typeset recently, and will be sent after completion, so there is no need to get the old seal of the mold. There are 2,000 students in the university, and most of them are very late, and Mr. Cai came, and the reform did not seem to have much effect, but recently he published a magazine called "New Tide" [4], which was quite satisfactory, but it was only made by a small collection of about 20 people, and occasionally miscellaneous faculty works, the first volume was published, and it was immediately mailed to Fu Sinian within the day, and Luo Jialun [5] was not weak, and they were all students. Over the years, he still wandered around and had nothing good, but his thoughts seemed to have changed slightly. Next year, the Shaozhiwu was forced by the clansmen to sell it, so they planned to live in Beijing, and there was no longer the idea of more people being safer and more peaceful. And recently, the relationship with Shaoxing has also become worse, but I don't know why. Wen Xie and Yan Li Mu Zhai Yishu to the female official leader [6], said bad things about the king several times, but I don't know where Xie He got it, or エべ and so on to make this rumor can not be determined that this is this Gong Chang skill, for テイプチヒ [7] is often the same. Essentially, my generation and the old man can't be like-minded, and their troubles are exactly what they should do. This note is answered in the ministry, and Huishu is in the apartment, so the answer may not be finished, please forgive me. Dedicated to Manford.

On January 16, the first volume of "New Tide" was sent out and heard. Same

190130 to Qian Xuantong postcard received. The two things of the point and the signature can be handled according to the letter. Yesterday, when I saw the small preface on "Tui Xia" in the second volume of "New Tide [1]", I couldn't help but feel disrespectful. If you don't dance well, you have to be able to control it.

I think the article can be copied again, and it can also be entered into the "New Youth" Volume 6 No. 2 "Sui Xianlu", which has been published several times and spread more widely, with the grand intention of scolding and scolding my younger generation, I don't know why Your Excellency my brother thinks it is?

190419 to Zhou Zuoren [1] Second Brother Lan: The letter sent by the fifteenth office has arrived. There is no good law for family affairs, and there is no house, and you will go to Beijing to discuss it again. "Three Dreams in the Desert" [2] was originally written with Li Shouchang [3], but the original book was corrected occasionally, and it seems that there are two untranslated questions and answers, somehow. This can only be written with Yin Moyun after arriving in Beijing [4].

et, and Maruzen takes four yuan and fifteen dollars per book, which is too far away, and it seems that it can be questioned. Now he attaches his account, and also attaches a statement book, and records that you have said that you should settle the account with the other store in person. See Shanghai Confession [9], "New Youth" No. 2 has been published, but I have not yet obtained it, and I have written to climb Weng [10]. The university [11] has nothing to do, and the conflict between the old and the new has been seen in Reuters, which has the meaning of "world". Hearing the telegram is an excerpt of the letter between the world and the poultry man [12], and the assertion is cloudy: It can be seen that the university has the meaning of keeping pace with the times, and it is different from the full-time staff of the past. It seems to be quite "Ashi" also.

The "Western Literature Series" published by the Bowenkan [14], there is a copy of "Sin" written by ズーデルマン [15], I want to see, if you return from the steamboat, the luggage should not be too heavy, I hope to buy a copy.

Xu Shoushang described the situation of Lu Xun and others when they listened to lectures in Tokyo in the seventh chapter of "Impressions of the Deceased Friend Lu Xun", "When talking about the sky, Xuantong spoke the most, and he crawled around on the seat. So Lu Xun gave Xuantong the nickname 'crawling around'. "

[11] On March 18, 1919, Beijing's Gongyan Bao published a long report entitled "Please Look at the Recent Changes in Beijing's Academic Circles", slandering the reformists and praising the old-fashioned, and at the same time published Lin Qinnan's "Letter to Cai Heqing"; Then, Cai Yuanpei wrote "A Book of Lin Qinnan" to refute it. The Reuters news agency reported on the incident at the time.

[12] The world refers to Cai Yuanpei. Zhou Zuoren in "Medicinal Flavor Collection. "Before and after the May Fourth Movement, the air in the cultural and educational circles was very unstable, and there was a faction of Gongyan Bao outside the school, which attacked every day, and the school also responded.

190428 to Qian Xuantong's brother: Send me a novel [1], please identify and correct those foreign circles and the like, and hand it over to the editor; Because I have no experience in foreign circles and the like, I'm afraid I'm going to be wrong.

There is also a line next to the person's name, so please take a look at it as well. For example, if you mention a person with a white beard, and later call him a white beard, I am afraid that I should add a straight line, but I did not add it.

In the appendix of Lu Xun's 19th issue of the "Weekly Review" on April 8 [28], there is an article [2] written by Lu Xun, this person is not a brother, and the statement is combined.

Exegesis:

[1] refers to the short story "Medicine", which was later included in "The Scream".

190430 To Qian Xuan's disagreement [1] brother: "Contempt" is ruthless, according to my "insight", I think it is very true. Zhong Mi wrote that Yu Yi [2] left on the third or fourth day of the fifth month, and it was too late to write a letter. Suzhai [3] is the largest in the class, and there is no brother, so of course Lianlu is not a "brother Ling". I recently received a book from the "Magazine Reading Round"[4], which is about the middle secret. I thought, "I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for him to return before I give this book, so I must inquire to whom I will give it to so that I may do so." I once asked Yin Mo in a letter, but there was no reply, and I don't know if I believe it. Does my brother know how to send it? Please let me know.

Xun Xia is the first day of the first year, and he is crooked, and he sees that Yi Di is not as good as my heavenly dynasty.

Exegesis:

(1) Differentiation refers to Qian Xuantong. On February 17 and 18, 1919, Shanghai's "New Declaration" serialized Lin Shu's novel "Jing Sheng", in which one of the characters was named Jin Xinyi, alluding to Qian Xuantong.

(2) Yi refers to the solar calendar, a joke, for "Xia Zheng" (Xia calendar).

(3) Suzhai Lu Xun claimed to be self-proclaimed. "Speed" should be derived from "speed".

[4] "Magazine Rotation Reading" is not specified.

190704 to Mr. Qian Xuantongweng: The sub-secretary [1] set off the day before yesterday. To correspond with him, it should be written "Tokyo Fushita, Sugamo Town Kamikomagome 379 Feathers Taifang ○○○ Collection". He was able to go to Beijing at about the beginning of the eighth month of the foreign calendar, and the "haters" and "half-haters of the children"[2] also came together, and they did not arrive at the "Shaoxing Mansion"[3]. "Buju" has not yet been decided, so I have to rent it first; This rental errand is undertaken by our people, but it has not yet been started, so it is lazy. I haven't seen it yet, and it really has the meaning of "sneaking a sneak peek". I'm afraid it's very difficult to do a certain gentleman's business; Xu Jun has long been out of mind about the library, and he is now an official person,[5] and he can't talk about it.

I've heard that there is news in the world, really?

On the 4th of July

Exegesis:

[1] The sub-secretary is Zhou Zuoren.

[2] "Enemies" and "half-enemies" refer to Zhou Zuo's wife, Yu Taixinzi, and their children. Because it was an anti-Japanese movement at that time, Lu Xun jokingly called it this.

(3) "Shaoxing Mansion" is Shaoxing Mansion.

[4] On December 15, 1918, Qian Xuantong sent a letter to Zhou Zuoren: "The "Mr. I Ching Beginning Class" in the Xian Cang Minoru (this is the method of using exegesis to replace the original character and learn from Mr. Tanlong) necessary for distinguished friends can be sent and offered a few days later. According to the "Mr. I Ching Lesson", it refers to the "Ibsen Number" in the sixth volume of the fourth volume of the New Youth. Here, Lu Xun mentioned "Xian Cangzai" and Qian Xuantong's "Xian Cang Nim" are both synonyms for "New Youth".

[5] On May 9, 1919, Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University, resigned and left the university in protest against the Beiyang government's suppression of the May Fourth Movement. Later, under the urging of inside and outside the school, he gave up his resignation and returned to Beijing on September 12 to preside over school affairs.

190807 to Qian Xuan's brother: ---- Zhongmi sent an article of "Visiting the New Village" [1], which can be logged in the sixth issue. However, there are still a few places in the article that need to be considered, so we should wait until he arrives in Beijing. He will be there in about ten days, and he will definitely be in time. Notice is hereby given. And this article must not be reversed, and you must think of a way to publish it.

Lu Xun, August 7

Exegesis:

[1] "Visiting New Villages" is an article by Zhou Zuoren describing his visit to Japan in July 1919, which was later published in New Wave magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1 (October 1919). The "sixth issue" here refers to the New Youth, Vol. 6, No. 6, which was supposed to be published in June of the same year, when the journal was actually out of date, and if it was published in June, it would contradict the time when the article was written.

190813 to Qian Xuantong [1] Brother Xuantong: Both letters have been received. The sub-secretary has gone to Beijing with his wife and son.[2] and now lives in the Sanhuiyi Pavilion [3] in the Cao Mansion in the middle wall, and the house number is No. 5. It's boring to be on both sides of the story about "New Village", and I don't think it's okay if it doesn't appear on "New Youth", because it's just a little bit of an account, it's not a big article, and it doesn't have to be published everywhere. Yellow thorn [4] is not Sun Fugong, only know that he lives in Lu Town, I don't know anything else, Fu is Fuyuan, the letter is right, write to him, send it directly to "or 矇" [5] That is, he lives there, べーテートル is a kind of cod liver oil, not a medicine for the nerves, but the body is healthy, the nerves are naturally healthy, so you can also eat, there are two kinds of medicine, one is the color of the red envelope bottle outer paper, which is particularly effective for lung disease, and a blue envelope is an ordinary strengthening agent, for the sake of nerves, it is enough to eat the blue envelope.

August 13th

Exegesis:

[1] The comma in the original letter is a ton.

[2] The secretary of the child had already arrived in Beijing with his wife and son, according to the "Lu Xun Diary" on August 10, 1919: "In the afternoon, the second brother, the second brother-in-law, Feng, Mi, Meng, and Chongjiujun came from Tokyo and lived in the palace of the king of the wall. [3] The old name of the Shaoxing County Pavilion of the Shanhuiyi Pavilion is in the southern half of the alley outside Xuanwumen in Beijing. Lu Xun lived here from 6 May 1912 to 21 November 1919.

(4) Yellow Thorn Lu Xun's pen name. On August 12, 1919, when the four articles of "Inch Iron" were published in the "National Gazette", Zeng Xia was named this name.

[5] "Or 矇" refers to the "National Gazette", and Sun Fuyuan was the editor of the newspaper's supplement at that time.
