Abstract Several representative poems on the Goddesses of the Xiang River by Lu Xun show that his cognition and interpretation of “force” is obviously multi-faceted. Even though Lu Xun has reservations about violence against violence in reality， it does not affect his literary view of “disturbing the human mind”， and he fully recognizes the potential of Qu Yuan's poems to achieve that. Lu Xun's poems on the Goddesses of the Xiang River skillfully transform the traditional image of the vanilla beauty in Chu Ci into an image capable of carrying modern emotions， so as to emphasize and contrast the necessity of force against violence， which become the common value of Lu Xun's poems on the Goddesses of the Xiang River. Lu Xun's poems on the Goddesses of the Xiang River replace the lightness and softness of the deities in Qu Yuan's lyric model with the sublime beauty and power of the female warrior in her confrontation with the reactionary forces. Lu Xun's revolutionary action is complemented by a literary mind capable of converting， and he recreates the ancient deities with violent force， thus resisting the limitations of literary impotence in the traditional poems and fugues by Qu Yuan.
