In our elementary school textbooks, there is "Sanwei Bookhouse"... What you don't know about Lu Xun - the emblem of Peking University was designed by Lu Xun. In 1917, Cai Yuanpei, then president of Peking University, wrote to invite Lu Xun to design the emblem: "I would like to ask you to design an emblem for Peking University. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just integrate the aesthetic education concept you have always advocated." On August 7 of the same year, the prototype of the emblem was born. Its shape comes from the traditional Chinese tile end, with the two seal characters "Peking University" arranged vertically, resembling a person carrying two others, symbolizing the idea of "three people make a crowd," reflecting the people-oriented concept and symbolizing the responsibility of Peking University people to enlighten the public. Picture 1 "Call to Arms" is also a classic work in Lu Xun's book cover designs. He also collected many foreign woodcut prints... When you try to understand an outstanding person, you will find that they are not only excellent in one aspect but are outstanding in many aspects
