Abstract
The concept of “great beauty without words” has been integral to Chinese literary theory since ancient times. Since the late 20th century, the aesthetics of atmosphere has gained increasing attention in academic research, which provides a new perspectives for appreciating, evaluating, and interpreting works of literature and art. Lu Xun excels at creating unique artistic aesthetics through the construction of diverse atmospheres in his fiction. In his works, Lu Xun utilizes specific hallucinations and visions to present ineffable aesthetics, revealing characters' unconscious layers. At the same time, Lu Xun also integrates different psychological sensations and impressions through artistic techniques such as synesthesia and employs linguistic ambiguity to transcend the boundaries between internal and external languages, portraying the intricate psychological states of his characters. Investigating the role of atmosphere in Lu Xun's fiction offers a precise lens through which to explore the intricate and often concealed intellectual and emotional structures that underpin his work.
