What is the relationship between Baicao Garden and Sanwei Study?

For a long time, when people analyzed the relationship between the life of Baicao Garden and Sanwei Study, the mainstream view was that the two formed a contrasting relationship. It is believed that there is a contrast between the freshness, brightness and magic of the Baicao Garden and the dim, boring, strict and tasteless Sanwei Study, which contains the author's strong praise and disapproval.

In addition to this "comparative theory", there are two kinds of understanding:

One view is that the front and back are harmonious and unified. Throughout the whole text, it is the sweet memories of the middle-aged Mr. Lu Xun's happy life in his childhood, and his love and curiosity about nature. Even the life of Sanwei Book House is also fresh and full of happiness for Lu Xun in his childhood.

The second opinion is that: The front and back are set off by the relationship, and the free and happy life of Baicao Garden is used to set off the life of Sanwei Study, so as to criticize the damage and constraints of the feudal education system to children's body and mind.

There is some truth in the above two views, and comparatively speaking, the first view mentioned here is closer to the psychological background of Mr. Lu Xun when he wrote this article, and is more acceptable to readers. In fact, from the author's description of the life of the Three Flavors Library, it is not difficult to find that the words are full of joy. From the "black oil bamboo door", large plaques and other furnishings, from the Confucius worship ceremony without Confucius tablets, from the classmates who slipped to the small garden behind the Sanwei Study House to "fold the plum" and "look for cicadas" to the lively classroom, the self-satisfied old gentleman, the embroidered statue with some achievements, and the rapid progress of the "right class", everywhere is filled with a kind of fun of adults looking back on the past, and always reveals the novelty, innocence and happy taste.

Therefore, even if it is a strict three-flavor bookstore, it is also a part of the author's good life, and it is also full of the author's innocence and childlike joy at that time, rather than a constraint.

Baicao Garden is where Lu Xun lived when he was a child, and Sanwei Book House is where Lu Xun lived when he was in school, both of which are places of his childhood memories.

Similarities: They are all children's fun, showing children's curiosity about new things, their unique enjoyment of plants, trees, insects and birds, and their pursuit of freedom and joy.

Differences: Baicao Garden is a paradise full of vitality and vitality, and Sanwei Book House is a serious and dignified school. The joy of carrying the chain in the Baicao Garden stems from the generous gift of nature, and the joy of the Sanwei Book House comes from the pursuit of knowledge and happiness.

The life of Baicao Garden can be described as happy without limits, and the Sanwei Book House can only be borrowed for a while.

From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study", is a reminiscence essay, written by Lu Xun. The work describes the events of Lu Xun when he was 12 to 17 years old, and is a beautiful movement composing the past of his childhood, written on September 18, 1926, and first published in the nineteenth issue of the semi-monthly magazine "Mangyuan" on October 10 of the same year. In this popular prose, the author uses contrasting techniques to write the fun of Baicao Garden and the boring of Sanwei Study, and depicts a wonderful childlike world for people with poetic brushstrokes.

"From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavor Book House" is from the contemporary writer Lu Xun's "Morning Flowers and Sunset", and the content is summarized as follows:

The full text describes two major scenes with different tones and different rhymes: Baicao Garden and Sanwei Study. The author depicts a children's paradise full of whimsies, interspersed with the legend of the "beautiful snake" and the story of catching birds in the snow in winter.

The author realistically writes about the stale smell of the Three Flavors Study, where children are bound by rules. However, the author did not write the Sanwei Book House lifeless, but through the narration of two short stories in which the students sneaked into the backyard to play during recess, and the old private school Mr. was engrossed in reading in class, and the students took the opportunity to steal fun, which made the Sanwei Book House full of humor.

Writing Background:

This essay was written on September 18, 1926. After "March 18"**, Lu Xun was included in the list of 50 wanted people in Beijing's cultural and educational circles by the Beiyang warlords. As a result, he was unable to openly fight against the Beiyang warlords, and was forced to leave Beijing in 1926 at the invitation of Xiamen University.

When Lu Xun arrived at Xiamen University, it was the summer vacation, and the students had not yet started. Lu Xun often recalled the past events of his youth when he was wandering and depressed, so he wrote this essay and published it in "Mangyuan".
