Abstract:Mao Zedong has always canonized Lu Xun, not because Mao Zedong wants to take advantage of Lu Xun, but because they have many similarities both in their thought and in their views on the issues of literature and art. Both of them regard literature and art as an important force to promote the Chinese revolution. Both of them emphasize the importance of changing the requirement for the writers into their internal needs. In addition, both of them emphasize literature and art workers must proceed from the Chinese reality, and create literary works according to the actual conditions of China.
