The criticism against Chinese medicine by Lu Xun at the early stage is often taken as a sharp weapon to attack Chinese medicine. However, through a horizontal and sequential analysis of the relevant material, it can be seen that Lu has experienced a process of learning, practicing, and objectively assessing Chinese medicine, which is closely related to the social background of the period, personal experience, and changes of thoughts.
