Family:
In Shaoxing, the Zhou family is a noble family. Not to mention being an official and doing business, the population growth alone is considerable, so by the time Lu Xun was born, the Zhou family had separated in three places and looked after each other, just like a big family. Lu Xun's grandfather Zhou was born in Hanlin. He worked as a magistrate in Jiangxi, then went to Beijing as a cabinet official and became a standard Beijing official. Shaoxing is not a big city. People like Zhou who are both academicians and Beijing officials can naturally win the respect of ordinary citizens. The horizontal plaque of the calligraphy "Hanlin" on Zhoujiamen clearly shows the special position of Zhou Jia. Lu Xun is really lucky. The starting point of his long life journey is located in such a place that seems quite convenient from Xanadu.
This enabled Lu Xun to obtain a series of conditions that children from poor families could not enjoy. Forty or fifty acres of paddy fields at home, that is, if you don't collect a penny from Jinghui every week, your daily livelihood is always more than enough to drive poverty away from him. The Zhou family pays attention to reading. Zhou even had the ambition to let his children and grandchildren take the Hanlin exam together, and hung a plaque on the door saying "Uncle Hanlin, uncle and son". The atmosphere of scholarly family is naturally quite strong. There are two bookcases in Lu Xun's home, from Notes on Thirteen Classics and Four Histories to Wang Yangming's Complete Works and Zhang Xuecheng's Literature and History. Even novels such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and List of Gods are crowded inside. Not only do they have books at home, but many relatives at home also have a large number of books, which are not only boring and difficult to understand, but also many interesting books that make children happy, from the illustrated "Flower Mirror" to the "Dream of Red Mansions" describing boys and girls.
