What is the reason why the black-topped boat in Lu Xun's writing will always be so dear to me as well?

1. The crow's nest boat is a memory of Lu Xun's childhood. In his essay "From the Hundred-Clover Garden to the House of Three Flavors", Lu Xun recalls the time when he was a child and rode on a crow's nest boat. This recollection gave him a deep affection for the crow's nest boat, making it an everlasting and affectionate presence in his heart.

2. The boat represents Lu Xun's attachment to his hometown. Shaoxing is a water town, and the crow's nest boat is the most representative local transportation. After Lu Xun left his hometown, he often expressed his longing for his hometown through words. The crow-tent boat became the link between him and his hometown, so that he could feel the breath of his hometown even in a foreign land.

3. The crow's nest boat symbolizes Lu Xun's respect for traditional culture. In Lu Xun's works, crow's nest boats are often associated with ancient cultural traditions. He expresses his respect and nostalgia for traditional culture through his depiction of the crow-tent boat. Therefore, in Lu Xun's works, the crow's nest boat is often used to symbolize hometown, kinship and childhood memories. For Lu Xun, the boat is not only a means of transportation, but also an emotional support.
