This book puts Lu Xun's academic research results into the context of Lu Xun and China's academic transformation in the 20th century to give a new explanation, and on this basis, it comprehensively grasps the significant impact of Lu Xun's academic thoughts on China's academic transformation in the 20th century. On the basis of a relatively clear grasp of the similarities and differences in the academic thoughts of Lu Xun and his contemporaries, we can approach and enter the inner world of these masters, and truly understand everything they had to do and everything they had to do in their time - understand their original intention of enlightenment and salvation, and the confusion and helpless melancholy they showed when they encountered the contradiction between literature and politics, and the conflict between creation and academics.

This book makes full use of diaries, letters, autobiographies and other historical materials to lead readers into the study rooms and living rooms of a group of cultural masters during the Republic of China. It aims to gradually reveal the deep and touching inner world of the masters through descriptions of their academic research and literary creation careers as well as daily trivial and interesting things, and how they constructed their "circle of friends", which will ultimately help to maintain determination, persistence and hope in this increasingly noisy and impetuous world.
