The Meaning of Commemoration of the Cow

This quote is from Mr. Lu Xun, written by Xu Guangping, from the "comforting commemoration"

This book is a reminiscence of some of the feelings and fragments written by Xu Guangping in commemoration of Lu Xun. Most of the book is written for the memorial and the requirements of newspapers and periodicals, etc. Therefore, the author also used to say that these articles, the significance of remembrance should be more than the significance of objective research, not only thickly exudes the author's personal nostalgia at the time of writing the feeling of remembrance.

The Symbolism of the Ox

The ox is a symbol of industriousness in traditional culture, and it is the representative and carrier of the traditional Chinese spirit. It is loved by the world for its gentle nature, diligence, loyalty and hard work.

Mr. Lu Xun once used a cow as a metaphor: "I am like a cow, eating grass, milking out milk and blood." The cow's spirit of hard work and selflessness is also the excellent quality of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

Like the "spirit of the old bull", which is vigorously promoted today, it is derived from the cow and represents the hard work and diligent pursuit of a better life for the working people, which is highly symbolic.
