鲁迅对中国传统死亡观的揭露与批判

Luxun′s Insight and Criticism of the Traditional Chinese View towards Death

与"未知生,焉知死"的传统思维方式相反,鲁迅的艺术活动都源于对死亡的思考,他以"阿Q"、"女孩"、"老翁"、"鲁四老爷"等艺术形象生动地概括了鬼神迷信型、美好幻想型、懦弱逃避型和冷酷残忍型等中国传统死亡观的四种类型,并以置身于死亡之外的"看客"形象深刻地总结了这一死亡观的本质特性,从而完成了对传统死亡观的彻底揭露与批判。

Contrary to the traditional idea that 'Life above ground is beyond knowing, let alone life after death', Luxun′s literary work revolves around the prevailing attitudes of the Chinese towards death. The four viviol characters AQ, the Yong Maid, the Old Man and Lu Siye, whostand for four stereotypes, superstitious, fantasy, coward and ruthless, represent the four general attitudes of the Chinese toward life after death. Through analyzing these attitudes and characterizing these people as outsiders from death, Luxan presented his insights and strong criticism to the traditional Chinese view to wards death.
