当他沉默着的时候——从1924年前后鲁迅的阅读与写作说起

When He Was Silent:Starting with Lu Xun’s Reading and Writing Around 1924

1922年底到1924年秋,是鲁迅的“第二个沉默期”。在这期间,鲁迅通过读史、治史和翻译,完成了再次“开口”的准备。《秋夜》中“夜游的恶鸟”的叫声标志着他打破沉默,找到新的表达方式,这一新方式不仅体现在《野草》中,也体现在小说写法的变化和杂文的自觉之中。另外,由于此间思想观念的变化,鲁迅没有完成历史小说《杨贵妃》的写作计划,而有可能开始了对《故事新编》的准备。

The period from the end of 1922 to the autumn of 1924 is Lu Xun’s“second silent period”.During this period,Lu Xun completed the preparation of“opening his mouth”again by reading and translating history.The call of“the evil bird at night”in Autumn Night marks that he broke the silence and found a new way of expression.This new way is not only reflected in Wild Grass,but also reflected in the change of novel writing method and the consciousness of essays.In addition,due to the change of ideology,Lu Xun did not complete the writing plan of the historical novel Yang Guifei,and may have begun to prepare for the New Story.
