The flowers on the grave, "round in a circle" and "rootless, unlike their own flowers", are obviously artificial and are wreaths placed by others. Who put it there? There is only one possibility, that is, Xia Yu's comrades-in-arms or sympathizers come to offer them to mourn. Whether the story of wreath-laying conforms to the reality of life can be considered from two aspects: on the one hand, we should realize that writing about martyrs who died for the revolution has not been forgotten by all people, and some people commemorate them, which conforms to the spirit of the times and the reality of life. On the other hand, it is undeniable that this "wreath" was "added". Lu Xun wrote in "Scream and Preface": "I often don't care to use a curved pen and add a wreath to the grave of Yu 'er in" Medicine ". The so-called "smooth addition" not only means that there is no foreshadowing in front of the novel, but also means that there is no custom of mourning with wreaths in the late Qing Dynasty, and it also means that the historical position of the old democratic revolutionaries who are seriously divorced from the masses is not properly elevated.

Lu Xun believes that the "wreath" on the grave is a "curved pen" and is added "flat", which is a strict anatomy of his own works. Strictly speaking, the choice of plot must conform to the reality of life, even if the details should be the same. "Adding a wreath" is a fly in the ointment of the novel, but it cannot deny the profound ideological content and superb artistry of the novel. On the whole, adding "garland" does not affect the development of the story. And it has played a certain role in promoting the performance of characters' personalities. Of course, as a higher requirement of artistic creation, it should be loyal to the reality of life.

The wreath on Xia Yu's grave not only highlights the ignorance and incomprehension of Aunt Hua and Grandma Xia Si, but also shows that the revolutionary Xia Yu's thoughts and actions are not without influence.
