Lu Xun or Hu Shi, whose literary level was higher?
Lu Xun and Hu Shi were both important figures in modern Chinese literature, both of whom had a profound influence on the development of Chinese literature. However, it was a controversial issue to compare the literary standards of the two because their writing styles and literary directions were different. Lu Xun was one of the founders of modern Chinese literature. His novels, essays, poems and other works deeply reflected the social reality and the sufferings of the people at that time, which had strong social significance and historical value. Lu Xun's literary style was concise, profound, and direct. He was good at revealing the dark side of society and the weakness of human nature, with a strong sense of realism. Hu Shi was one of the leaders of the 20th century Chinese New Culture Movement. His literary style was more relaxed and free. He paid attention to the form and technique of literature, but also paid attention to social reality and the future of mankind. Hu Shi's literary works have a strong academic atmosphere and human feelings, especially in literary translation and literary theory has made important contributions. Therefore, it is impossible to simply compare the literary standards of Lu Xun and Hu Shi. Their respective literary styles and contributions cannot be ignored. We should evaluate them from different perspectives in order to understand their literary achievements more comprehensively.
