This sentence comes from Lu Xun's essay "Have China people lost confidence? : "Since ancient times, there have been hard-working people, hard-working people, people who lay down their lives for mercy, and people who lay down their lives for the law ... Although it is the so-called" official history "of the imperial genealogy, it often cannot hide their glory. This is the backbone of China. "

Have China People Lost Confidence? The sharp language is inseparable from the author's excellent use of parody rhetoric. Parody in Lu Xun's works is by no means a simple mechanical imitation, but an innovative usage that imitates the ready-made word format to change words and contains new ideas.
This kind of parody rhetoric often has a certain pertinence, or imitates it at will, or does the opposite, and can show its unique point of view with the help of changing words, especially in refuting articles, which often produces a pungent sense of humor and irony. Therefore, parody figures of speech are widely used in Lu Xun's essays, such as the parody of "send-away doctrine" in "take-away doctrine".
In this article, "self-confidence" was originally a word used in the editorial of Ta Kung Pao. Lu Xun firmly grasped this word and made a big fuss about the object, category and influence of "belief". He first analyzed that the reactionary government had no "self-confidence" but only "faith", and then further discussed the developing "self-deception" in combination with the recent farce of worshipping God and Buddha.
From "self-confidence" to "trust" to "self-deception", it is refreshing to analyze the police and say a strange word. Because of the use of the rhetorical device of parody, three words are created with the difference of one word, the bamboo shoots are peeled off layer by layer, the logical power is strengthened step by step, the wisdom is flashing, the fun is full of fun, and the spicy irony is added.
