Youjian Library: Collection of Southern and Northern Dialects
by Lu Xun
About This Novel
"Collection of Nanqiangbei Diao" is a collection of essays by Lu Xun, which contains fifty-one essays written by Lu Xun between 1927 and 1929. At that time, a scholar in Shanghai signed "Meizi" attacked Lu Xun in an article "Writer's Sketches": "Lu Xun likes to speak very much, but he has a stutter, and he has a 'Southern accent and a Northern accent.'" In response, Lu Xun counterattacked: "I can't say that Su Bai is soft, I can't. "To play a loud Beijing tune, if it is not in tune or popular, it is really a southern tune and a northern tune." It shows that he is unwilling to follow the trend and despise boring literati. The title of this collection is humorous and expresses his contempt for the enemy and his uncompromising attitude. Therefore, my husband named this collection published in March 1934 "Collection of Nanqiangbei Diao", which was a kind of self-deprecation and a mockery of Meiko.
