Title:: The Revival of “Mara Poet” and “Voice of the Heart”: Lu Xun's Early Poetic Experience and His Writing of Yecao

Abstract:: “Sound” is of great significance to the literary origin of Lu Xun. In the early days of his stay in Japan, it was because he noticed the organic connection between “poetry” and the “voice of the heart” that Lu Xun gave up medicine to pursue literature and devoted himself to the literary cause of “pursuing a new life”, in order to arouse more “true voices”, a “shouting” Lu Xun also emerged. It can be said that the exploration of “sound” constitutes the main clue of the unfolding of Lu Xun's life. If the “shouting” Lu Xun corresponds to an external enlightenment self, the writing of Wild Grass(Yecao《野草》) means that Lu Xun has experienced an inward turn of the sound, that is, through the setting of his own inner voice, completed the search for the “voice of the heart”. In the process of writing Wild Grass, Lu Xun reawakened the early “voice” mechanism, and the re-emergence of “the Mara poet” not only affected the writing style of Wild Grass, but also involved in the specific text formation. Consequently, Lu Xun not only “listened to his heart” once more but also underwent a self-renewal, subsequently engaging in the critique of the “silent China” from a fresh subjective stance.
