Why is Lu Xun's article called "Blessing"?
Blessing is not only the title of the novel, but also implies that the fate of the protagonist is closely related to blessing, so the description of the scene of blessing in the novel will be the most important in the description of the environment in the novel. Several major changes in Xianglinsao's tragic character are concentrated in the specific environment of "Fu" in Luzhen, which is also of great significance to the expression of the theme. There are three descriptions of "Fu" in the novel. The first time is to describe the scene where families in the town are preparing to "pray". The blessing is "Luzhen Year-end Ceremony". On this day, the rich will worship the Buddha and pray for good luck, while the poor like Sister Xianglin will work hard for the "blessing ceremony" of the rich. This first highlights the contradiction between the rich and the poor and indicates the sociality of Xianglinsao's tragedy. At the same time, through the description of "every year is like this, every family is like this", it is implied that the Revolution of 1911 was not complete and the feudal forces were still stubborn.
