Abstract: In Lu Xun, Takeuchi Yoshimi described the root of Lu Xun's literature as “nothingness” that cannot be defined by “words.” Tracing the process through which the thought of “the nonexistence of words” was established, is a key to understanding the text of Lu Xun. Initially, Takeuchi constructed his own knowledge system by the word of “Chinese Literature,” resisting traditional academia. However, as Japan's invasion of China intensified, Takeuchi came to realize the domination of politics over literature, and the limitations of words. To resist the political situation that was manipulating literature, Takeuchi, inspired by works such as Zhou Zuoren's “A Short Note on Lun Yu” and Nakano Shigeharu's A Note on Saito Mokichi, continually adjusted his approach to pursue words. Ultimately, he understood a literary spirit that transcends words and manifests as an attitude or an action. It was through the journey of pursuing, doubting, and finally transcending the words, that Takeuchi arrived at the understanding of “the nonexistence of words” and “nothingness” in Lu Xun.

摘要： 竹内好在《鲁迅》中将鲁迅文学的根源称为一个无法用“语词”定义的“无”。追溯“语词的非存在”这一思想的生成过程,是理解《鲁迅》文本的关键。竹内最初借助“中国文学”这一语词建构自己的学问体系,向传统学界发起挑战。但随着日军侵华的深入,竹内意识到政治对文学的支配作用以及语词的局限性。为了抵抗肆意利用文学的时局,竹内在周作人“论语小记”、中野重治《斋藤茂吉笔记》等作品的启发下,不断调整追求语词的方式,最终领悟了超越语词、化为一种态度与行为的文学精神。正是源于这段追求语词、怀疑语词、超越语词的思想历程,竹内才终于在《鲁迅》中抵达对“语词的非存在”与“无”的理解。
