Abstract Lu Xun's attitude towards landscape description and natural aesthetics underwent a historical transformation. This evolution is evident in his shift from an early preference for natural aesthetics to an emphasis on scientific cognition； in his discovery of the “moonlight” motif during the May 4th Movement， followed by his deliberate alienation from and ironic treatment of natural beauty； and in his Shanghai-era portrayal of urban scenery under the title of “Quasi-Remarks on Wind and Moon”. All these developments profoundly reflect some key facets of his intellectual and personal growth. This involves not only a departure from and rejection of traditional literati sensibilities but also an active response to the harsh realities of life. Moreover， all of this is closely linked to a broader ideological current in modern and contemporary Chinese literature， a trend marked by the “exile of lyricism”， which highlights the modern characteristics of Chinese literary aesthetics in a unique “anti-romantic” way.
