Abstract
Shi Zhecun's "Elegy for Master Lu Xun" and its preface, written around the end of 1956, clearly express his understanding and evaluation of Lu Xun, and his attitude toward Lu Xun has always been respectful. At the same time, they also display his reflection and introspection on his controversy with Lu Xun, not only reviewing his own short-sightedness of being a "well frog presuming to measure the sea", but also insisting on his consistent position of "I aspire to promote essay". As for Lu Xun's "frowning at the evil young men" and its adverse effects, Shi's heart still hurt despite his efforts to downplay them. Previously, commentators paid little attention to this poem, thus ignoring its significance to the study of Shi and his relationship with Lu Xun. Since this poem is a long five-character poem in ancient style, the preface is written with pianwen (parallel writing), and it contains many allusions, I will try to annotate it for the benefit of readers and researchers.
