ABSTRACT

Written in 1926, A Slap-Dash Diary (continued) partly dealt with the topic of Chinese characteristics. In discussing the relationship between Chinese dishes and sex, Lu Xun quoted two paragraphs of foreign authors, Samuel Wells Williams of the United States and Hideo Yasuoka of Japan. Lu Xun pointed out their prejudice against Chinese people and refuted their arguments in a mocking tone. But Lu Xun went to the other extreme in denying the relationship of Chinese cuisine and sex. These two foreign books from which the two quotations were taken should be reread and studied by Chinese, who can see how they were depicted then and how they should make reforms. And Chinese readers can see in them the specimens of Japanese and American Sinology at that time.
