Creation background
This article was written on 1924128 October, only one month after the collapse of Leifeng Tower. When the author wrote this article, it was only five years since the Revolution of 1911 13 and the May 4th Movement. Although the Revolution of 1911 ended two thousand years of imperial rule, it did not change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature of China.
The May 4th Movement, especially the New Culture Movement at the same time, had a strong impact on feudal ideology and morality, but it was far from being completely washed away. 1in the winter of 924, the Beiyang warlord government strengthened its reactionary rule, and the revolutionary struggle against the Beiyang warlord government became increasingly high. Lu Xun published this article at this time, making a big fuss and using the topic, and its significance far exceeded the scope of criticizing feudal ethics.
