In general, literary works reflect the times and society. The created social life has its own unique attractiveness through the feature and feeling of an author. The idea of an author is described by giving shape to the characters and it gives the artistic inspiration to readers. I will show Ah Q to be very spirit and image of Lu Xun and consider the appearance of “ma-ma-hu-hu” in the novel. In particular, the object of input and output is the relation between the information of Ah Q and the conscious and or the unconscious.
First, I will try to put together the linguistic features of “The True Story of Ah Q”. 1 colloquial style, 2 correctness, freshness and vividness, 3 high-level individualization of characters, 4 humor, calumnies, euphemism and irony.
