Who knows when Lu Xun said that time is the source of life?

Time is life. Waste other people's time for no reason, in fact, is tantamount to murder for money. Saving time means making everyone's limited life more effective, which means prolonging people's life.

On the other hand, life is limited by time, because a person who wastes time for no reason and cannot use this time to complete your life mission is wasting your life for no reason, even if he has direct intention to kill, it is equivalent to illegal detention.

This sentence is taken from Lu Xun's Talking about Foreign Languages.

However, people like us who sit in the air and chat are exceptions.

Lu Xun talked about the historical role and position of folk literature in Talking about Foreign Languages. First of all, he spoke highly of the value of folk literature. In his view, although illiterate writers are not as delicate as literati, they are vigorous and fresh, and vigorous and fresh literature has infinite vitality.

Lu Xun's views on folk literature and the occurrence of literature and art are full of historical materialism. From then on, Lu Xun also criticized the view of "art for art's sake" at that time. He pointed out that the murals left by primitive people in Milla Cave in Altay, Spain, are not "art for art's sake".

He said: "Primitive people are not as free as writers in the19th century. He painted a cow for a reason, because it is about bison, or hunting bison and banning bison. " . Therefore, in Lu Xun's view, the aesthetic view of "art for art's sake" that denies the utilitarian purpose of art is incorrect. ?
