Abstract
Lu Xun’s imagery refers to the visual construction of Lu Xun. Different images of Lu Xun are constructed via visual presentations such as biography, animation and spectacle. The process of shaping Lu Xun’s images is marked by heterogeneity, and particularly by the escape of images as the most prominent feature in their dissemination. Although Lu Xun’s image and Lu Xun himself are closely related, the transition from the literary world to the verbal-pictorial world forms a unique context of image as well as image modeling. “Serenity” and “spectacle” are the two faces of Janus of the image modeling of Lu Xun. In the process of constructing a contemporary Chinese visual paradigm, these two visual forms are intricately intertwined, which leads to the enquiry of Lu Xun’s meaning to contemporary life.
