摘要: 鲁迅小说《在酒楼上》将在《祝福》中开启的现代人的灵魂性难题推向了一个新阶段。叙事人“我”与故友吕纬甫在酒楼上的相遇,再一次将现代知识分子的灵魂处境问题摊出来。吕纬甫所遭遇的两次与死亡相关的事件,动摇了现代理性主义者吕纬甫的唯物论的生命观,也让他在爱与希望破灭的处境中,感到深深的沉沦感与无聊感。这也是鲁迅《彷徨》写作时期的基本主题。

Abstract: Lu Xun’s short story “Upstairs in the Tavern” brings to a new phase the problematic of soul in the modern man, which is first addressed in his “New Year Sacrifice”. Through the reunion between the narrator “I” and his old friend Lü Weifu in the tavern, the problematic of soul in modern intellectuals resurfaces. Lü, a modern rationalist, was exposed to two events of death, which shook the ground of his materialistic view of life, making him feel sinking and bored as love and hopes were shattered. This is also the fundamental theme of Lu Xun’s works during the period when his anthology Wandering was completed.

Key words: “Upstairs in the Tavern”, boredom, nihilism, theme of death, theme of hope
