Abstract

Throughout his life, Lu Xun had a deep affection for Wei-Jin culture. The intellectual traits and spiritual core of Wei-Jin literati profoundly influenced his creative works. The "madman" and "loner" characters in Lu Xun's writings share similarities with the eccentric and desolate scholars of the Wei-Jin period, both in their external manifestations and ideological cores. The spiritual connection between them, transcending time and space, reflects Lu Xun's strong "Wei-Jin complex" and his courage to confront reality head-on.
