Briefly describe the reasons for the writing of Morning Flowers

This book is a collection of 10 reminiscence essays written by Lu Xun in 1926. The first five were written in Beijing and the last five in Xiamen. Initially, with the general title of "Revisiting Old Things", it was successively published in the semi-monthly magazine "Mangyuan".

In July 1927, Lu Xun re-edited it in Guangzhou, and added "Small Introduction" and "Postscript", renamed "Morning Flowers and Evening Picks", which was first published by Beijing Weiming Society in September 1928 and listed as one of the "Weiming New Collections" compiled by the author. Reprinted in February 1929. In September 1932, the third edition was rearranged and published by Shanghai Beixin Book Company.

The cover of the book was painted by Tao Yuanqing.

These ten essays are "the chronicles of memories" "Three Idle Collections · Self-Selected Collections Self-Preface" is a relatively complete record of Lu Xun's life path and experience from childhood to youth, vividly depicting the life picture of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and is an important artistic document for studying Lu Xun's early thoughts and life and even the society at that time. These chapters, written in a deep and timeless manner, are classics in modern Chinese prose.

Regarding the translation of this book, Lu Xun said in a letter to Masuda on April 11, 1934: "If there is a place where the Morning Flowers and the Evening Pick are published, it would be good to translate it, but there are too many Chinese customs and trivial matters in it, and it may not be easy to understand without more commentary. In a letter to Masuda on December 2, 1934, Lu Xun mentioned that Masuda Wataru and Haruo Sato jointly translated the "Selected Works of Lu Xun":

There is only the article "Mr. Fujino", please translate it and make up for it, "Fan Ainong" is poorly written, it is better to cut love. ”

The chapters in this book, such as "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study", "Mr. Fujino", and "Fan Ainong", have been selected as middle school Chinese textbooks.

What is "Morning Flowers???

Chaohua Xi picks up the prose in the "Four Literary Genres".

Writing characteristics: In his creation, Mr. Lu Xun chose a multi-dimensional and intersecting perspective, so that most of the works in "Penghuai Bridge Morning Flowers and Sunset" adopt the obvious characteristics of the intersection of historical perspective and realistic perspective, the integration of the perspective of children and teenagers and the perspective of adulthood, and the interweaving of the perspective of folk performance and academic thinking. Of course, there are still certain differences in the presentation of this situation in different chapters, but on the whole, most of the prose in Lu Xun's "Morning Flowers and Sunset" has this remarkable characteristic.

This also makes Lu Xun's prose works in "Morning Flowers and Sunset" show unusual bright characteristics that other writers of his time and later do not have.
