1912 In May, at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun left his hometown of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and went to work in the Ministry of Education of Beiyang Government in Beijing. At first, Lu Xun was just an ordinary Ministry member with no official position, because the Beiyang government at that time was not very huge, and there were only dozens of people in one Ministry of Education. The management and appointment of junior officials of the Ministry of Education was directly signed by Yuan Shikai, the interim president of the Republic of China. 1965438+On August 2, 20021day, Yuan Shikai appointed 32 people including Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun) as the Minister of Education. On August 26th, Lu Xun was appointed as the first section chief of Social Education Department in charge of culture and art.. Since then, Lu Xun has been in this position for 14 years, without promotion or demotion, but with a salary increase. Among the three divisions of the Ministry of Education, the General Education Division and the Special Education Division are only in charge of school education, while the Social Education Division is in charge of propaganda, culture, literature and art, news and so on. It is equivalent to integrating the current Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Writers Association and the Press and Publication Administration. As a "scandal", Lu Xun is also the head of the division, and his position is of course serious. Lu Xun did a good job in the position of the first section chief of social education. In the early years of the Republic of China, the Presidential Palace entrusted the task of designing the national emblem and creating the national anthem to the Ministry of Education, which in turn entrusted the Department of Social Education, among which Lu Xun and others were the most capable. 1965438+On August 28th, 2002, Lu Xun, Qian Daosun and Xu Shoushang designed the national emblem for the Beiyang government according to the requirements of Yuan Shikai's Presidential Palace. Qian Daosun painted patterns and Lu Xun wrote instructions. 19 13 In February, the monthly magazine of the Compilation Department of the Ministry of Education published the pattern designed by Qian Daosun and the explanatory text written by Lu Xun, entitled "Description of the Painting of the National Emblem of the State Council". The eighth volume of the Complete Works of Lu Xun compiled this explanation. The national emblem of Jiahe, designed by Qian Daosun and explained by Lu Xun, was finally selected by Beiyang government. Lu Xun is also in charge of the national anthem. At this time, Lu Xun, as a national civil servant in an important position, not only held normal meetings, held meetings, reviewed official documents, negotiated entertainment, investigated and studied, but also often presided over or participated in various major activities in the education sector. After work, Lu Xun usually spends his time copying rubbings, teaching part-time and writing. 19 12, a month-long "national temporary education conference", in which Lu Xun also participated. There were 92 proposals at that meeting, and finally 23 resolutions were formed. In September, the "Art Investigation Department" set up by the Social Education Department to carry out the work of art galleries and museums was also assigned to the first subject. The nationwide book survey and art inspection were also completed under the leadership of Lu Xun. 19 13 In February, the Ministry of Education held the "Symposium on Phonetic Unification" 2z, and the attitudes of all parties were fierce and they argued endlessly. Wang Zhao, the deputy speaker, fought with Wu Zhihui, the speaker, and Wang Zhao even kicked off Wu Zhihui's cotton trousers. It was Lu Xun and Xu Shoushang who successfully solved this academic dispute. The symposium lasted for three months, during which Lu Xun would organize a "children's art exhibition". At that time, Lu Xun was at the meeting place every day, even on Sundays. Under the leadership of Lu Xun, the first public library in China was established for ordinary people only. From participating in the establishment to developing into a central library, Lu Xun made great efforts. The famous World Expo was also organized by Lu Xun. He stayed up all night to protect cultural relics. Later, he and Chen Shiceng accepted the task of forming a jury, and selected a large number of excellent products for China to participate in 19 15, the first Panama World Expo. During his tenure in the Ministry of Education, Lu Xun also formulated a new educational system and compiled new educational textbooks. Lu Xun's work performance was naturally favored by his superiors. Yuan Shikai personally awarded him the Fifth Golden Harvest Medal, which was named the Golden Harvest Medal after being designed with the national emblem of Lu Xun and others. Lu Xun was also a good government official in Yuan Shikai's time. After Xu Shichang became president, he was awarded the Fourth Golden Harvest Medal by himself because of Lu Xun's ability. Although Lu Xun worked actively, he was not successful, because he could not be an official, but an official. During the period of 14, the Ministry of Education changed its chief executive 38 times and its deputy chief 24 times. Even Wang Jiuling, who sells opium, may be a chief. Lu Xun was extremely dissatisfied with this. He doesn't get along well with Xia Cengyou, director of the General Education Department of the Ministry of Education. 19 15 years, when the commander-in-chief Tang Hualong began to promote the restoration of Yuan Shikai, he repeatedly sought Lu Xun to publicize "loyalty, filial piety and righteousness", but he refused. In addition, Lu Xun resisted "offering sacrifices to Confucius and reading classics" at the time of the rise of vernacular Chinese, and the relationship with Fan Yuanlian, the general, deteriorated. He was fired by Zhang, the general manager, because he stood on the side of the disadvantaged groups and supported the trend of female teachers' learning. Later, Zhang was expelled from school and Lu Xun was reinstated, but Yi Peiji, the new general manager, also chose to protect himself. 1926 After the "March 18th Massacre", Lu Xun wrote a famous poem "In Memory of Liu Hezhen Jun", and in a state of being forced to take the initiative, he chose to leave without saying goodbye. Three months later, the Ministry of Education issued a ministerial order to dismiss him.
