What does Lu Xun's takenism mean? .

When Lu Xun wrote "Takeism" on 1934, he reflected on his past tendency of being excessively biased towards the May 4th new culture and criticizing China's traditional culture, and retreated from the road of denying traditional culture. Therefore, the object of Lu Xun's "takenism" is China's traditional culture and an attitude towards it. There should be inheritance, absorption, improvement and abandonment. In other words, Lu Xun's "takenism" advocates treating traditional culture objectively. This attitude is due to the paranoia of total westernization, and the stubbornness of "total retro" against the rebound of total westernization. Therefore, Lu Xun's "takenism" advocates using his brain and vision to go to traditional culture by himself. We can't just deny traditional culture. In the article "Takeism", Lu Xun specifically mentioned the "terror" caused by western "Takeism" in China, which clearly showed his denial of "total westernization". Lu Xun's position in this period is not exactly the same as his previous position.

However, many years after Lu Xun initiated "takenism", some people's understanding of "takenism" was completely different from Lu Xun's original intention at that time. At present, "takenism" is mainly "taking from the west", not "taking from the tradition" as Lu Xun said. Now, "takenism" is sometimes even equivalent to the "takenism" criticized by Lu Xun. In those years, opium and opium were sent from the west. Some have been so brazen that they can't be forced to send them, and some have changed something new, but they still keep "sending". But now many people shout "takenism" under the banner of Lu Xun, which is actually the "total westernization" criticized by Lu Xun, and accept "takenism" according to the order. At the same time, the present "takenism" almost completely abandons the traditional culture of China and regards it as rubbish.

Lu Xun's "takenism" attitude towards China's traditional culture is also applicable to China people's attitude towards western culture. However, under modern conditions, we should have a new understanding when we adopt a "takenism" attitude towards western culture. Lu Xun said that some people should inherit traditional culture, some people should absorb it, some people should improve it, and some people should abandon it. In fact, these principles are equally effective in treating western culture. The key is to have your own mind. Only by judging the essence of western culture can we know what is good and what needs to be brought. There are still some things that should not be brought, and some things need to be improved after being brought. Of course, the "takenism" here is somewhat naive or inaccurate, because the "takenism" we hope is not in line with the "takenism" that the West hopes to develop. Even forced apportionment. However, we often don't know that what the West sends for free is often the bait for fishing, and some of us think this is the proof of the success of "takenism". However, most of the things we want to bring are not available and need to be paid, so it is easy to be prosecuted and punished by the West. Therefore, we are happily imagining the "takenism" towards the West. Therefore, we also find that "takenism" is sometimes also "comprador", so "takenism" often becomes the cover of internal and external collusion, which may be the motivation for some people to steal Lu Xun's concept of "takenism".

There is another huge difference between "takenism" against western culture and "takenism" against traditional culture. For traditional culture, if you want to take it, there will generally be no obstacles. Let's discuss it at most. How about after taking it? Modern? Moreover, the traditional "belt" is basically free, and there is no "buy" or "send". However, for western culture, we find that some things we urgently need are really useful and good things. We are very eager to "bring them" and are even willing to pay a lot of money to fully implement the "bought", but the west is unwilling, such as high technology. We believe that if we want to buy, others will sell. There are too many facts that tell us that we are eager to "bring it" but are rejected. We can't "bring it" or "buy it" at all. And many things we don't want or need are constantly sent by the west.

When we accept the attitude that we also need an objective and calm "takenism" to treat the West, we will encounter another problem. What should we bring? What should I not eat? Why can't I get it When we face these problems, we all say that we should have brains and vision. However, what kind of brain should we have? What kind of vision do you have? When our minds and eyes are indoctrinated and brainwashed by the west, and we all have the same ideas and eyes as the west, isn't our "taking" equal to the "sending" or "buying" that the west hopes? Therefore, if we can use western culture as a reference to judge how to "bring" traditional culture, then how to "bring" and "buy" western culture also needs to use traditional culture as a reference, as well as the reality of China. This should be the attitude of modern China people towards "bringing".
