Text

Lu, Xun. Luosu he wei kou [ID D28835].
Lu Xun admitted that he had not read Irving Babbitt in the original and knew of Babbitt only from scanning Japanese material. He criticized Babbitt only as a means of undermining the reputation of Liang Shiqiu and others, who 'chewed over Babbitt somewhere in Shanghai' for the purpose of manifesting their special taste. It was Lu Xun's intention to ruin any preference for their 'taste'. He had the audacity of giving snorts of contempt for Babbitt without reading his works, and even went to the extreme of classifying Babbitt as a member of the New Moon Society.
