Abstract: Whenhe was alive,Lu Xun collected seven portraits of himself by different artists.This collection can be regarded as a way for him to recognize himself and "mold" his image.After 1936,especially after the founding of New China,the creation of Lu Xun's portraits changed from the expression of private emotion to the demand of political discourse construction,and Lu Xun's portraits gradually evolved into a kind of "image politics".Because image can construct ideology more quickly and effectively due to its intuition,visualization and charm,the creation of Lu Xun's portraits is naturally an excellent way to explain and "win over" him.Through the presentation,rewriting and reshaping of artists again and again,Lu Xun has dissociated from the historical noumenon and become a kind of political representation and the mark of the times.

Key words: LuXun, Lu Xun's portraits, presence, suspension, image politics
